Abstract

This paper focuses on the fully distributed prescribed-time consensus (PTC) problem in multi-agent systems. First, leveraging an adaptive time-base generator (TBG) strategy, a class of fully distributed prescribed-time consensus protocols is designed. Compared with existing results, the proposed approach does not need global network parameters, thereby achieving fully distributed control. Then, to enhance robustness against unknown bounded disturbances, by incorporating a signum function within the adaptive TBG framework, a robust prescribed-time consensus algorithm is developed. Further, the proposed framework is extended to the leader setting, a prescribed-time leader-following consensus (PTLFC) algorithm is designed to ensure that all followers track a dynamic leader within a prescribed settling time. As a potential application, the approach is employed to solve a formation tracking task, and corresponding numerical simulation is provided to validate the accuracy and robustness of algorithms.
