Fixed-Time Distributed Average-Tracking of Second-Order Multiagent Systems via Event-Triggered Control

This paper is devoted to the event-triggered average-tracking problem for multi-agent systems over undirected topology within a fixed time. To address this scenario, a distributed average-tracking control strategy consisting of a fixed-time average estimator and a decentralized tracking control protocol is developed. The decentralized tracking protocol is then designed such that, based on the proposed average estimator and sliding mode control method, each agent in the multiagent systems can track the average value of reference signals that we expected in a fixed time. In the end, simulation results of a fixed-time average-tracking example are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
