Abstract

This paper investigates output synchronization of heterogenous time-delay discrete-time multiagent systems via output couplings. Firstly, sufficient conditions are provided to guarantee dissipativity for an individual agent modeled by the descriptor dynamics. Fully distributed consensus protocol based on the outputs of the neighboring agents is proposed to show that the individual dissipativity leads to output synchronization of the overall multiagent system. The proposed synchronization scheme exhibits a strong robustness facing norm-bounded uncertainties. Moreover, the counterparts of the result of the cooperation based on dissipativity for the multiagent system with event triggering mechanism is also investigated. The proposed triggering mechanism and the consensus protocol solve the synchronization for all admissible uncertainties and time varying delay. Finally, a numerical heterogeneous model is carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategies.
