We propose two distributed dynamic triggering laws to solve the consensus problem for multi-agent systems with event-triggered control. Compared with existing triggering laws, the proposed triggering laws involve internal dynamic variables which play an essential role to guarantee that the triggering time sequence does not exhibit Zeno behavior. Some existing triggering laws are special cases of our dynamic triggering laws. Under the condition that the underlying graph is undirected and connected, it is proven that the proposed dynamic triggering laws together with the event-triggered control make the state of each agent converges exponentially to the average of the agents’ initial states. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results and show that the dynamic triggering laws lead to reduction of actuation updates and inter-agent communications.
