Abstract

Dynamical flocking of multi-agent systems with multiple leaders is studied. Supposing topologies are dynamically changed with jointly-connected, flocking algorithm of multi-agent systems with time-varying delays is proposed. Multi-agent systems with uncertain parameters and time-varying delays is investigated, and sufficient conditions are given for flocking control of multi-agent systems with dynamical topologies. Finally, simulations are provided to prove the effectiveness of the conclusion.
