Event-Based Consensus for General Linear Multiagent Systems under Switching Topologies by Yinshuang Sun, Zhijian Ji, Kaien Liu

“…Meanwhile, event-triggering conditions are derived for systems to achieve consensus by using the Lyapunov stability theory and model transformation method. Then, the theoretical results obtained under the fixed topology are extended to the switching topologies, and the sufficient conditions for the system to achieve leader-following consensus under the switching topologies are given. …”
