Abstract:

This paper investigates the controllability of discrete-time leader-follower multiagent systems (MASs) with two-time-scale and heterogeneous features, motivated by the fact that many real systems are operating in discrete-time. In this study, singularly perturbed difference systems are used to model the two-time-scale heterogeneous discrete-time MASs. To avoid the ill-posedness problem caused by the singular perturbation parameter when using the classical control theory to study the model, the singular perturbation method was first applied to decompose the system into two subsystems with slow-time-scale and fast-time-scale feature. Then, from the perspective of algebra and graph theory, several easier-to-use controllability criteria for the related MASs are proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the main results is verified by simulation.
