| Summary: | This paper addresses the global consensus of nonlinear multiagent systems with asymmetrically coupled identical agents. By employing a Lyapunov function and graph theory, a sufficient condition
is presented for the global exponential consensus of the multiagent system. The analytical result shows that, for a weakly connected communication graph, the algebraic connectivity of a redefined symmetric matrix associated with the directed graph is used to evaluate the global consensus of the multiagent system with nonlinear dynamics under the common linear consensus protocol. The presented condition is quite simple and easily verified, which can be effectively used to design consensus protocols of various weighted and directed communications. A numerical simulation is also given to show the effectiveness of the analytical result. |
