This paper addresses an observer-based consensus problem for leader-following control of a class of linear multi-agent systems (MASs) under a directed communication topology via event-triggered approaches. State observers are employed to tackle the scenario wherein inner information of the follower agents are not available for measurement. And then, an observer-based distributed leader-following control scheme is developed on the basis of event-triggered mechanisms. Further, to avoid continuous measurement information monitor, we present a technical approach for generation of the combinational information from their own neighbouring agents only at triggered instants. In theory, the stability of the resulting closed-loop system is rigorously investigated, and it is proven that all signals in the closed-loop system are bounded and Zeno behaviour is also excluded. Finally, simulation examples are presented for illustration of the theoretical claims. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
