ET Control Under Non-continuous Communication Faults

In recent years, the consensus problem of multiagent systems (MASs) has emerged as a research hotspot, with numerous scholars delivering substantial meaningful findings (Wang et al. 2021; Liang et al. 2022; Liu et al. 2021, 2022). For instance, the authors of Du et al. (2020) probed into the distributed fixed-time consensus problem for heterogeneous nonlinear MASs. In Li et al. (2020), the consensus problem of MASs over undirected graphs was addressed, and an adaptive event-triggered (ET) protocol was devised by leveraging the relative information among neighboring agents. While the above literature demonstrates that control algorithms for multiagent systems are growing increasingly comprehensive, research pertaining to the information transmission process of MASs remains inadequate.
