Abstract

Most of the classic collective behavior occurring in multiagent systems (MASs) are built upon the network topology with sufficient connectivity. The MASs that impose no restrictions on the network topology deserves due attention to reveal more general collective behavior, which means unifying consensus and containment control. This paper examines the collective behavior in the network of homogeneous generic linear agents over the dynamic topology without structural constraints. By virtue of the product of nonnegative matrices and the properties of algebraic digraphs, a systematic coordination analysis with proper parameter selection is put forward. It is shown that local consensus is reached by the agents of the same closed strongly connected component, whereas the agents outside the closed strongly connected components are ultimately confined in the convex hull defined by the agents of the closed strongly connected components. The results of the theoretical analysis are supported by computer simulations.
