Distributed Model Predictive Control for Asynchronous Multi-agent Systems with Self-Triggered Coordinator
<|reference_start|>Distributed Model Predictive Control for Asynchronous Multi-agent Systems with Self-Triggered Coordinator: This paper investigates the distributed model predictive control for an asynchronous nonlinear multi-agent system with external interference via a self-triggered generator and a prediction horizon regulator. First, a shrinking constraint related to the error between the actual state and the predicted state is introduced into the optimal control problem to enable the robustness of the system. Then, the trigger interval and the corresponding prediction horizon are determined by altering the expression of the Lyapunov function, thus achieving a trade-off between control performance and energy loss. By implementing the proposed algorithm, the coordination objective of the multi-agent system is achieved under asynchronous communication. Finally, the recursive feasibility and stability are proven successively. An illustrative example is conducted to demonstrate the merits of the presented approach.<|reference_end|>
