Prescribed-Time Event-Triggered Bipartite Consensus of Multiagent Systems

This article studies event-triggered control for the prescribed-time bipartite consensus of first-order multiagent systems. For each agent, the new event-triggered control law and triggering condition are constructed without continuous interneighboring communication. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory and the algebraic graph theory, permissible value ranges of the designed parameters are established to guarantee that all agents reach bipartite consensus in a completely prespecified time. Moreover, a comprehensive theoretical discussion is provided to show that the Zeno behavior can be excluded during the whole time span except the prespecified settling time T . The simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of the provided methods.
