Distributed Fault-Tolerant Consensus Control of Leader-Following Systems

This book provides recent theoretical results and applications of the consensus control for nonlinear leader-following systems. Combining adaptive control technique, fuzzy logic systems, neural networks with the other control techniques or approaches, this book investigates the consensus control problem of leader-following systems and proposes the corresponding control scheme. This book intends to provide the readers a good understanding on consensus control based on adaptive control technology. This book can serve as a reference for the main research issues and results on nonlinear multi-agent systems including leader-following systems for researchers devoting to various areas of control theory, as well as a material for graduate and undergraduate students interested in nonlinear multi-agent systems including leader-following systems and their applications. Some prerequisites for reading this book include nonlinear system theory, matrix theory, mathematics, basic graph theory, and soon.

Combines more practical scenarios toward the distributed control design of leader-following systems Studies the fault location and impact on system performance and divides the faults into local and global faults Proposes the corresponding fault-tolerant control schemes to compensate for the different faults
