A Layered Event-Triggered Consensus Scheme

Research output: Journal Publications and Reviews › RGC 21 - Publication in refereed journal › peer-review

Abstract

This paper studies the dynamics of multiagent systems with a multilayer structure, proposing a novel layered event-triggered scheme (LETS) for consensus. This LETS emphasizes on synchronous information transmission in the same layer but asynchronous message update between different layers, which differs from the existing centralized or distributed event-triggered schemes. Moreover, under the LETS, agents in different layers achieve asymptotical consensus eventually and the Zeno behavior is successfully eliminated. Furthermore, an algorithm is provided to avoid continuous event detection, verified by a numerical example.
