Abstract

Time-varying formation tracking problems for linear multiagent systems with multiple leaders are studied, where the states of followers form a predefined time-varying formation while tracking the convex combination of the states of multiple leaders. Followers are classified into well-informed ones and uninformed ones, where the neighbor set of the former contains all the leaders, whereas the latter contains no leaders. A formation tracking protocol is constructed using only neighboring relative information. Necessary and sufficient conditions for multiagent systems with multiple leaders to achieve time-varying formation tracking are proposed by utilizing the properties of the Laplacian matrix, where the…
