Title: Consensus of Second-Order Multiagent Systems with Directed Signed Networks and Communication Delays
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the consensus problem for second-order multiagent systems (MASs) with directed signed networks and local communication delays. First, under a strongly connected directed graph, some properties for signed digraph and the model of second-order MASs are provided. A distributed nonlinear consensus control protocol is proposed for implementing consensus of second-order MASs with signed digraph and communication delay. Then, for structurally balanced and unbalanced networks, the consensus of second-order MASs with directed signed networks and local delays is proved via the Lyapunov method and Barbalat lemma. Simulation examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of our results.
