Consensus stabilizability and exact consensus controllability of multi-agent linear systems

Abstract

A goal in engineering systems is to try to control them. Control theory offers mathematical tools for steering engineered systems towards a desired state. Stabilizability and controllability can be studied under different points of view, in particular, we focus on measure of controllability in the sense of the minimum set of controls that need for to steer the multiagent system toward any desired state. In this paper, we study the consensus stabilizability and exact consensus controllability of multi-agent linear systems, in which all agents have a same linear dynamic mode that can be in any order
