Leader-following consensus for high-order stochastic multi-agent systems via dynamic output feedback control

This paper studies the leader-following consensus problem for high-order stochastic nonlinear multi-agent systems. Each agent is in the strict feedback form with nonlinear functions in drift and diffusion terms and admitting time-varying incremental rates. A novel distributed observer-type consensus protocol is proposed based only on the relative output measurements of neighboring agents. The dynamic gains in controller are designed to...
