Abstract:This paper considers the consensus problem of third-order nonlinear multi-agent systems with a fixed communication topology. A consensus protocol is proposed for solving such a problem. By a transformation, the consensus problem is converted to a stability problem, then sufficient consensus criteria are obtained by proposing a novel Lyapunov function. It is shown that consensus can be achieved for a sufficiently large feedback gain, provided that certain quadratic inequalities with respect to two parameters are satisfied. Finally, the effectiveness of the theoretical results is demonstrated through an example. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
