Abstract
The leader-following consensus problem of multi-agent systems with general linear dynamics is investigated in this paper. Only one leader is considered and the communication topology among the followers is undirected. A novel consensus protocol based on observer and event-triggered mechanism is proposed. Based on the protocol, a sufficient condition is obtained by using common Lyapunov function method. This condition can guarantee that each follower agent can track the leader. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
