Exponential finite-time couple-group consensus for agents in cooperative-competitive networks via pinning method. (English) Zbl 07889138

Summary: This paper investigates the exponential finite-time couple-group consensus problem for multi-agent systems via pinning control method. Considering the hybrid cooperative and competitive interactions among the agents, a new nonlinear distributed control protocol is proposed. Under the pinning control scheme, the criteria for guaranteeing the system with weakly connected communication topology achieve exponential couple-group consensus in finite time are obtained, and the pinning control strategies are presented as well. Furthermore, the results show that the settling time for the system to reach consensus is independent of the initial states of the agents. Finally, the correctness of our results is verified by some simulations.
