What is Observer-based Leader-following Consensus for Positive Multi-agent Systems Over Time-varying Graphs about?

This paper addresses the leader-following consensus problem for discrete-time positive multi-agent systems over time-varying graphs. We assume that the followers may have mutually different positive dynamics which can also be different from the leader. Compared with most existing positive consensus works for homogeneous multi-agent systems, the formulated problem is more general and challenging due to the interplay between the positivity requirement and high-order heterogeneous dynamics. To solve the problem, we present an extended version of existing observer-based design for positive multi-agent systems. By virtue of the common quadratic Lyapunov function technique, we show the followers will maintain their state variables in the positive orthant and finally achieve an output consensus specified by the leader. A numerical example is used to verify the efficacy of our algorithms.
