Abstract
This paper considers the output regulation problem of linear singular multi-agent systems by using both state feedback control and time-delay feedback control. Sufficient conditions for the output regulation problem of singular multi-agent systems are proposed by adopting restricted system equivalence properties under the state feedback control strategy. A reduced-order normal system is obtained by a standard coordinate transformation. It is shown that state feedback control can solve the output regulation problem of the reduced-order normal systems and the original singular multi-agent systems. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
