Abstract

Sampled-data output consensus problem has been firstly considered within co-design framework where control gains and sampling periods are incorporated together. In construction of co-designed controllers, we firstly introduce a scaled coordinate transformation for the original system in the continuous-time domain. Then design of sampled-data controllers with absolute/relative damping and stability analysis of closed-loop system have been conducted directly in discrete-time domain. Main novelty of the co-design method lies in that the sampling period can be arbitrarily large due to the compensation of control gains. Compared with previous work on sampled-data consensus protocols, conservatism on allowable sampling periods has been greatly relaxed and more flexibility has been provided for digital implementation of the obtained sampled-data controllers. Simulation studies with different sampling periods are also provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the co-designed sampled-data output controllers.
