The output regulation of linear multi-agent systems with partial unmeasurable agents is investigated in this paper. All the agents except the exosystem can be classified into two groups. Agents in the first group can be measured by themselves and their neighbors. State variables are not fully accessible for direct communication and full order Luenberger observers are constructed for the unmeasurable agents. We give a state feedback control law to solve the output regulation problem under the communication topologies based on both measurable and unmeasurable agents. The heterogeneous agents＇ synchronization problem is a general case of our results. Finally, examples are utilized to show the effectiveness of the obtained results.
This paper deals with the issue of synchronization of delayed complex networks. Differing from previous results,the delay interval [0,d(t)] is divided into some variable subintervals by employing a new method of weighting delays. Thus,new synchronization criteria for complex networks with time-varying delays are derived by applying this weighting-delay method and introducing some free weighting matrices. The obtained results have proved to be less conservative than previous results. The sufficient conditions of asymptotical synchronization are derived in the form of linear matrix inequality,which are easy to verify. Finally,several simulation examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed results.
