Event triggered control for multi-agent systems with packet dropout

In this paper the discrete event triggered control for multi-agent systems with packet dropout is considered the first time. The scheme is essentially a discrete-time scheme, with no need of monitoring the systems´ states continuously. Rather than focusing on the communication topology every instant, the effects the quality of the whole communication having on the system for a long time is considered. A sufficient condition guaranteeing the system to achieve stochastical weighted-average consensus under a certain given event condition is presented. Finally a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical result and some analyses are presented accordingly.
