Abstract
This paper investigates achieving leader-following consensus in a class of multi-agent systems with nonlinear dynamics. Initially, it introduces a dynamic event-triggered strategy designed to effectively alleviate the strain on the system's communication resources. Subsequently, a distributed control strategy is proposed and implemented in the nonlinear leader-follower system using the dynamic event-triggered mechanism, aiming to ensure synchronization across all nodes at an exponential convergence speed. Thirdly, the research shows that under the dynamic event-triggered strategy the minimum event interval of any two consecutive triggers guarantees the elimination of Zeno behavior. Lastly, the validity of the calculation results is verified by a simulation example.
