摘要

This paper investigates the problem of matrix-scaled consensus in multi-agent systems with time-varying delays. In contrast to conventional consensus problems where agents converge to a constant value, we consider a more general scenario in which the consensus value follows an arbitrary time-varying reference function. Both uniform and slowly time-varying delay cases are analyzed within the matrix-scaled consensus tracking (MSCT) framework. The proposed approach is developed using the Lyapunov–Krasovskii theorem in conjunction with extended Jensen and Wirtinger inequalities, leading to the derivation of delay-dependent stability conditions formulated as linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The admissible time-delay bounds and the allowable rate of delay variation are explicitly determined. Numerical simulation examples are provided to validate the effectiveness and reduced conservatism of the proposed method.
