Abstract

Abstract

In this paper, we perform an in-depth study about the consensus problem of heterogeneous multi-agent systems with linear and nonlinear dynamics. Specifically, this system is composed of two classes of agents respectively described by linear and nonlinear dynamics. By the aid of the adaptive method and Lyapunov stability theory, the mean consensus problem is realized in the framework of first-order case and second-order case under undirected and connected networks. Still, an meaningful example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the gained theoretical results. Our study is expected to establish a more realistic model and provide a better understanding of consensus problem in the multi-agent system.
