• A novel distributed control protocol is constructed, in which only the past sampled position data of neighbors are utilized. • The necessary and sufficient criteria depending on the order, coupling gains, sampling period, and communication topology, are established to attain consensus for the systems. • An explicit guide about how to select the coupling gains to have a large upper bound and a big tolerance interval of sampling period for a given system under undirected communication graph. In this paper, the consensus of fractional-order multi-agent systems with the order α satisfying α ∈ (0 , 1 ] is investigated. A novel distributed control protocol is constructed, in which only the past sampled position data of neighbors are utilized. Then, based on Laplace transform, Mittag-Leffler function, and matrix theory, necessary and sufficient criteria depending on the order, coupling gains, sampling period, and communication topology, are established to attain consensus for the systems. Meanwhile, the intervals of coupling gains and sampling period associated with the maximum eigenvalue of Laplacian matrix over an undirected graph are presented to attain consensus. Finally, the availability of theoretical results is verified by numerical simulations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
