In this paper, we study an optimal output consensus problem for a multiagent network with agents in the form of multi-input multioutput minimum-phase dynamics. Optimal output consensus can be taken as an extended version of the existing output consensus problem for higher-order agents with an optimization requirement, where the output variables of agents are driven to achieve a consensus on the optimal solution of a global cost function. To solve this problem, we first construct an optimal signal generator, and then propose an embedded control scheme by embedding the generator in the feedback loop. We give two kinds of algorithms based on different available information along with both state feedback and output feedback, and prove that these algorithms with the embedded technique can guarantee the solvability of the problem for high-order multiagent systems under standard assumptions.
