Abstract

In this paper, a multi-consensus problem for networked multi-agent systems in a weighted and directed graph with a nonlinear protocol is investigated. By using convergence theory, matrix theory and the method of Lyapunov functions, a sufficient condition for the networked multi-agent systems to achieve multi-consensus is derived. And the agreement of each group is studied. A feedback controller for the networked multi-agent systems is then designed to drive the system to achieve multi-consensus. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
