Abstract :
In this paper, condition for swarm stability of general nonlinear high-order multi-agent systems is analyzed based on the idea of space transformation. Swarm stability can be assured by sufficient connection of graph topology and the dissipative property of the entire system regulated by relative Lyapunov function, with two independent variables.
