In contrast to most existing multi-agent coordination results with an autonomous (virtual) leader, this formulation takes possible control inputs of the leader into consideration. First, the coordination was achieved by utilizing a group of distributed observers based on conventional assumptions of model matching problem. Then, a fully distributed adaptive extension was proposed without using the input of this input-output behavior. An example was given to verify their effectiveness.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-10-05T18:19:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "93C10", "93C40" ], "keywords": [ "heterogeneous nonlinear multi-agent systems", "prescribed behaviors", "existing multi-agent coordination results", "prescribed input-output behavior", "control inputs" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Taylor-Francis" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
