Prescribed-Time Consensus of Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems by Event-Triggered Linear Time-Varying Control

This paper proposes a new dynamic event triggering mechanism to investigate the consensus problem of a class of nonlinear multi-agent systems with prescribed time. It not only avoids the Zeno phenomenon, but also provides the corresponding designable minimum inter event time in the designed algorithm. Moreover, designable minimum inter event time can be specified as a bounded constant of any size, independent of the characteristics of the system itself. The effectiveness of the design strategy is demonstrated through a numerical example.
