Abstract

The communication cost is generally higher for the consensus of high-order multiagent systems than that for low-order multiagent systems. In this paper, two novel distributed protocols are proposed to address the consensus of high-order discrete-time multiagent systems. By the proposed consensus protocols, each agent only needs to transmit the value of a variable to neighbor agents regardless of the order of agent dynamics. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed protocols guarantee asymptotic consensus of the agent states in different cases of communication graphs, including jointly connected ones. Simulative examples verify the theoretical results and the efficacy of the proposed protocols.
