Abstract: In this paper, we are concerned with the problem of containment control for a class of nonlinear multi-agent system. The local dynamics under consideration is governed by a nonlinear system with time delays and white Gaussian noise. The multi-agent system consists of both leaders and followers, and the containment control protocol proposed is an interaction between the leaders and followers characterised by time-varying delays and switching topology. Under a certain assumption on the connectivity of the whole network, by constructing a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, and using the average dwell time approach and some new analytical techniques, the sufficient conditions are established to ensure that each follower converges in mean square to the convex hull spanned by the leaders. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
