A New Intermittent Control Approach to Practical Fixed-Time Consensus With Input Delay

This brief addresses the practical fixed-time consensus problem of delayed disturbed multi-agent systems (MASs) under aperiodically intermittent control. Different from existing periodic intermittent controllers, the proposed intermittent controller is designed in an aperiodic way, which is more general. A new intermittent-based criterion for the delayed disturbed MASs is given. Based on the given criterion, the consensus of the MASs is obtained in a fixed time, which is unrelated to the initial conditions. Finally, a simulation example is provided to verify the effectiveness of theoretical results.
