Abstract: This paper studies the containment control problem of linear multi-agent systems (MASs) subject to external disturbances, where the communication graph is a directed graph with the followers being undirected connections. In order to save communication costs and energy consumption, a distributed disturbance observer-based event-triggered controller is employed based on the relative outputs of neighboring followers. Compared with conventional controllers, our observer-based controller utilizes the relative outputs of neighboring followers at the same triggered instant. Furthermore, it is shown that Zeno behavior can be avoided. Finally, the validity of our proposed methodology is demonstrated by a simulation example.
