Bipartite Output Consensus for Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Systems via Output Regulation Approach

This brief deals with the bipartite output consensus problem for heterogeneous multi-agent systems (MASs) under antagonistic interactions. Two distributed controllers with state feedback control and output feedback control are designed, respectively. By virtue of the Lyapunov theory and the output regulation technique, it is proved that bipartite output consensus for heterogeneous MASs can be guaranteed under structurally balanced graph. Numerical examples are finally provided for demonstration of the validity of the derived results.
