Abstract: This paper studies the node-to-node consensus problem of multi-agent networks possessing a leaders’ layer and a followers’ layer. In order to effectively reduce the update rate of the control protocol and avoid the Zeno phenomenon, the scheme is designed as a combination of periodic sampling method and event-triggered control. This method realizes the node-to-node consensus of multi-agent network. Furthermore, based on the Lyapunov stability theory and the linear matrix inequalities approach, some sufficient conditions for the node-to-node consensus problem of multi-agent networks are given. Finally, numerical simulation validates the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
