English summary) Zbl 1340.93004 J. Henan Norm. Univ., Nat. Sci. 43, No. 1, 152-157 (2015). Summary: This paper is devoted to the consensus control problem for switching networks of second-order multi-agents with external disturbance, and a distributed dynamic output feedback protocol is proposed by using the neighbors’ measured outputs. By defining a controlled output and conducting a model transformation in two steps, the consensus problem of the multi-agent systems is transformed into a normal \(H_\infty\) problem. The sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the \(H_\infty\) performance for networks with switching topology. A simulation example is provided to validate the proposed method.
