Bipartite Consensus of Discrete-Time Multi-Agent Systems via Intermittent Dynamic Event-Triggered Control

In this paper, bipartite consensus is studied for multi-agent systems (MAS) with discrete-time dynamics via intermittent dynamic event-triggered control (IDETC). Firstly, by applying the event-triggered control (ETC) mechanism to the intermittent control strategy, an intermittent dynamic event-triggered state feedback bipartite consensus protocol is proposed, and the stability analysis is given by employing the switching system method. Then, through integration of IDETC and observer-based relative output information, an observer-based IDETC bipartite consensus protocol is proposed and the corresponding consensus conditions are obtained. In the final section, two numerical simulations are given for validating the efficiency of the theoretical findings.
