First, we give out a nonlinear consensus protocol for the multi-species system with Brownian motion, and propose the definition of finite-time consensus in probability. Second, we prove that the multi-species system can achieve finite-time consensus in probability with different proper protocols by use of graph theory, stochastic Lyapunov function method and probability theory. Finally, some simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.展开更多

文摘This paper considers the finite-time consensus problem for a stochastic multi-species system. First, we give out a nonlinear consensus protocol for the multi-species system with Brownian motion, and propose the definition of finite-time consensus in probability. Second, we prove that the multi-species system can achieve finite-time consensus in probability with different proper protocols by use of graph theory, stochastic Lyapunov function method and probability theory. Finally, some simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
