Distributed formation control for fractional-order systems: dynamic interaction and absolute/relative damping. (English) Zbl 1222.93006

Summary: This paper studies the distributed formation control problem for multiple fractional-order systems under dynamic interaction with absolute/relative damping. In the context of this paper, formation control means that a group of systems reaches the desired state deviations via a local interaction. We first study a formation control algorithm in the case of a directed dynamic network topology. Convergence conditions on both the network topology and the fractional orders are presented. When the fractional-order \(\alpha \) satisfies \(\alpha \in (0,1)\cup (1+\frac 2 n)\), sufficient conditions on the network topology are given to ensure the formation control. Then we propose fractional-order formation control algorithms with absolute/relative damping and study the conditions on the network topology and the control gains such that the formation control will be achieved under a directed fixed network topology. The final equilibria are also given explicitly. Finally, several simulation examples are presented as a proof of concept.
