Output based adaptive distributed output observer for leader–follower multiagent systems

Abstract The adaptive distributed observer approach has been an effective tool for synthesizing a control law solving various problems of leader–follower multiagent systems. However, the existing needs to make use full state leader system. This assumption not only precludes many practical applications in which output system is available, but also leads high dimension observer. In this communique, we propose makes system, and thus more than based Moreover, information exchange among agents proposed can be significantly smaller those
