In distributed optimization of multi-agent systems, agents cooperate to minimize a global
function which is a sum of local objective functions. Motivated by applications including …

There is an increasing interest and research effort focused on the analysis, design and
implementation of distributed control systems for AC, DC and hybrid AC/DC microgrids. It is …

Fixed-time and prescribed-time consensus control can bring an explicit estimate of the
settling time without dependence on initial conditions, which is important in providing control …

This paper provides a review of the consensus problem as one of the most challenging
issues in the distributed control of the multi-agent systems (MASs). In this survey, firstly, the …

This paper reviews some main results and progress in distributed multi-agent coordination,
focusing on papers published in major control systems and robotics journals since 2006 …

While non-smooth approaches (including sliding mode control) provide explicit feedback
laws that ensure finite-time stabilization but in terminal time that depends on the initial …

This paper addresses the fixed-time leader-follower consensus problem for high-order
integrator multiagent systems subject to matched external disturbances. A new cascade …

This paper investigates the fixed-time consensus tracking problem for second-order multi-
agent systems in networks with directed topology. Global well-defined nonlinear consensus …

Networked microgrids (NMGs) provide a promising solution for accommodating various
distributed energy resources (DERs) and enhancing the system performance in terms of …

Fixed-time cooperative control is currently a hot research topic in multiagent systems since it
can provide a guaranteed settling time, which does not depend on initial conditions …
