Distributed constrained finite-time consensus algorithm for second-order multi-agent systems

This paper considers the constrained finite-time consensus control problem for second-order multi-agent systems with leaderless and leader–follower. By using the saturated controller design method and homogenous system theory, a finite-time consensus algorithm for multi-agent systems is proposed. Compared with the existing results, the proposed consensus algorithm makes the closed-loop system not only finite-time convergence but also satisfies the velocity constraints and input saturations. Simulation examples show the effectiveness of the proposed consensus algorithms.
