Abstract
This paper investigates the flocking problem in multi-agent system with time-varying delay and a virtual leader. Each agent here is subject to nonlinear dynamics. For the system, the corresponding algorithm with time-varying delay is proposed. Under the assumption that the initial network is connected, it is proved that the distance between agents is in the desired distance. The theoretical deduction shows that the stable flocking motion is achieved.
