Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the exponential consensus problem of discrete-time multi-agent systems with non-linear dynamics via relative state-dependent impulsive protocols. Impulsive protocols of which the impulsive instants are dependent on the weighted relative states of any two agents are introduced for general discrete-time multi-agent systems. The analysis of such impulsive protocols is transformed into an investigation on reduced fixed-time impulsive protocols by constructing a map, which is achieved mainly by a derived B-equivalence method in discrete-time domain. Our main results indicate that the exponential consensus of the multi-agent systems via relative state-dependent impulsive protocols can be achieved if the reduced systems via fixed-time impulsive protocols can achieve exponential consensus, which need to satisfy suitable sufficient conditions. Numerical simulations are presented to support the theoretical results.
