Containment control of multi-agent systems with input saturation and unknown leader inputs.

This paper investigates the containment control problem for multi-agent systems (MASs) with multiple leaders which have non-zero control inputs. Agents' tracking errors are described by a linear system with an external disturbance. The containment control problem is then solved by applying a distributed observer-based output feedback controller. Anti-windup (AW) compensation is designed by convex conditions, to improve the performance in the presence of actuator saturation. Finally, simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
