Dynamic Active Average Consensus and its Application in Containment Control
This paper proposes a continuous-time dynamic active weighted average consensus algorithm in which the agents can alternate between active and passive modes depending on their ability to access to their reference input. The objective is to enable all the agents, both active and passive, to track the weighted average of the reference inputs of the active agents. The algorithm is modeled as a switched linear system whose convergence properties are carefully studied considering the agents' piece-wise constant access to the reference signals and possible piece-wise constant weights of the agents. We also study the discrete-time implementation of this algorithm. Next, we show how a containment control problem, in which a group of followers should track the convex hull of a set of observed leaders, can be cast as an active average consensus problem, and solved efficiently by our proposed dynamic active average consensus algorithm. Numerical examples demonstrate our results.
