Event-Triggered Control of Lag Consensus for Leader-Following Multi-agent Systems with Nonlinear Dynamics
Lag consensus is an essential dynamic behavior in nature and practical systems, which means that the trajectory of followers lags behind the leader owing to a track time-delay. In this paper, the lag consensus...
