Abstract

The goal of this paper is to mitigate disturbances and input delays while optimizing controller actuation updates for discrete-time multi-agent systems through the use of an event-triggered confinement control system, especially in resource-constrained scenarios. This approach when combined with event-triggered control techniques, then every follower in the system adjusts its condition at specified times based on an event-triggered condition that is suggested. The containment control system issue in the presence of disturbances and input delays was tackled by using both decentralized and centralized event-triggered control systems. Using matrix theory and the Lyapunov technique, convergence analysis is conducted to show that the proposed strategy stays free of zeno phenomena. Numerical boosts are used to further illustrate the impact of theoretical results.
