Abstract

This paper mainly studies the consensus control strategy for a novel heuristic nonlinear multi-agent system. Compared with most existing related researches, firstly, the novel heuristic nonlinear multi-agent system has the ability to construct its communication network topology heuristically, and can withstand long-term DOS(Denial of Service) attacks, with the advantages of high practicality and security. Secondly, in order to control the multi-agent system, a control protocol based on both saturation effect and impulse control mechanism is studied, which has the advantages of high efficiency, low cost and wide applicability. Thirdly, for the multi-agent system, its dynamic model is constructed and analyzed by Lyapunov stability theory and matrix measure theory, and some sufficient conditions for achieving consensus are obtained. Finally, through two simulation experiments and some corresponding comparative analysis, the correctness, efficiency, and superiority of the theories proposed in this paper were verified.

Keywords: Consensus of multi-agent system; DOS attack; Heuristic communication network; Impulse control mechanism; Saturation effect.
