Sliding Mode Control for Consensus Tracking of Second-Order Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems Driven by Brownian Motion

Abstract

The consensus tracking problem of nonlinear stochastic multi-agent systems with directed topologies is investigated in this study. To solve the consensus tracking problem, first, an innovative concept of sub-reachability is introduced, and then, the specified sliding hyperplane is designed. A novel consensus tracking protocol is then proposed by using sliding mode techniques. With the help of Itô integral techniques and stochastic Lyapunov method, the sub-reachability of sliding motion and consensus tracking are proved; that is, the sliding mode variable structure control protocol steers the consensus errors to the given sliding surface in a finite time, and the sliding motion is exponentially stable in the sense of mean square. The efficacy of the proposed method is tested by a numerical case.
