Abstract: This article considers the distributed containment control problem of nonlinear multi-agent systems subject to parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. An appropriate controlled output function is defined to quantitatively analyse the effect of external disturbances on the containment control problem. By employing robust H∞ control approach, sufficient conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) are derived to ensure that all followers asymptotically converge to the convex hull spanned by the leaders with the prescribed H∞ performance under fixed topology. Moreover, the unknown feedback matrix of the proposed protocol is determined by solving only two LMIs with the same dimensions as a single agent. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.
