Research on finite-time consensus algorithm for second-order multi-agent systems under sampled-data control

The influence of sampled-data control on finite-time consensus algorithm of second-order multi-agent systems is studied in this paper. Firstly, a continuous-time finite-time consensus algorithm is reviewed. Then, by sampled-data control, the problem of digital implementation is considered in this paper. By using graph theory and homogeneous system theory, the explicit expression of sampling period to system consensus error is obtained after strict proof. Finally, the simulation results verify the effectiveness of the theory.
