Quantized distributed output regulation of multi-agent systems

Abstract:

Motivated by digital communication channel, we consider the distributed output regulation problem for linear multi-agent systems with quantized state measurements. Quantizers take finitely many values and have an adjustable ``zoom" parameter. Quantized distributed output regulation concerns designing distributed feedback by employing quantized technique for multi-agent systems such that all agents can track an active leader, and/or distributed disturbance rejection. With the solvability conditions satisfied, both hybrid static and dynamic feedback with quantized strategy are developed.

Keywords:

multi-agent systems, distributed output regulation, active leader, quantized control

Classification:
