• Distributed consensus of linear multi-agent systems with adaptive dynamic protocols (2011, neutral): “Consensus is an important problem in the area of cooperative control of multi-agent systems.”
• Robust semi‐global coordinated tracking of linear multi‐agent systems with input saturation (2015, background): “In previous studies, the coordinated tracking problem was first discussed for singleintegrator kinematics [14], [15], [16], and then generalized to double-integrator dynamics [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22] and general linear or nonlinear dynamics [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30].”
• Adaptive Fault-Tolerant Tracking Control for Linear and Lipschitz Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems (2015, background): “For more details on the leaderless consensus problem, readers are referred to [7]–[11], which cover different static and dynamic leaderless consensus protocols with linear/nonlinear dynamics.”
• Distributed control gains design for consensus in multi-agent systems with second-order nonlinear dynamics (2013, background): “…in terms of the spectrum of the Laplacian matrix must be satisfied even if the multi-agent system is linear, which is different from the results in synchronization of networks with identical linear systems reported in Dzhunusov and Fradkov (2011), Li et al. (2010) and Scardovi and Sepulchre (2009).”
• Distributed reduced-order observer-based approach to consensus problems for linear multi-agent systems (2015, background): “However, it is very interesting to investigate the multi-agent consensus problem with general linear dynamics [17, 18, 19, 20].”
• Network Topology and Communication Data Rate for Consensusability of Discrete-Time Multi-Agent Systems (2011, background): “A fundamental problem dealing with the existence of consensus protocols has not been emphasized until the recent work [22], [27], which give a necessary and sufficient condition for consensusability of continuous-time multi-agent systems with respect to (w.”
• Optimal Design for Synchronization of Cooperative Systems: State Feedback, Observer and Output Feedback (2011, methodology): “One way to evaluate the performance of synchronization control protocols is to show how synchronizability depends on structural parameters of the communication graph by using the concept of “region of synchronization or consensus” [13], [24].”
• Distributed Consensus of Second-Order Multi-Agent Systems With Heterogeneous Unknown Inertias and Control Gains Under a Directed Graph (2016, neutral): “Examples include consensus for agents with second-order integrator dynamics under a directed graph [11]–[13], with general linear dynamics [16], and with Lipschitz nonlinear dynamics [17].”
• Distributed Higher Order Consensus Protocols in Multiagent Dynamical Systems (2011, background): “In [15], the notion of consensus region was first proposed to address the consensus problem in multiagent systems with general higher order dynamics based on observers design.”
