Abstract
A multi-agent system is a dynamic system consisting of a group of interacting agents distributed over a network. Consensus of a multi-agent system is an agreement problem among all the members of the multi-agent system. As one of the typical collective behavior, the consensus problem of multi-agent systems has attracted the attention of numerous researchers in recent years.
