Abstract
In this paper, the robust fixed-time consensus problem for multiagent systems with nonlinear dynamics and uncertain disturbances under a weighted undirected topology is investigated. Some nonlinear control protocols are proposed under which fixed-time consensus in the considered multiagent systems can be ensured. Compared with the initial-condition based finite-time consensus, it is theoretically shown that any prescribed convergence time for the achievement of consensus can be guaranteed within fixed time regardless of the initial conditions. Furthermore, the achievement of consensus is shown to be robust against bounded uncertain disturbances affecting the agents. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the performance and effectiveness of the theoretical results.

TL;DR: A unified theoretical framework to investigate the finite/fixed-time synchronization of complex networks with stochastic disturbances is proposed by designing a common pinning controller with different ranges of power parameters, and both the goals of finite-time and fixed- time synchronization in probability for the network topology containing spanning trees can be achieved.

Practical fixed-time consensus for integrator-type multi-agent systems: A time base generator approach

TL;DR: Different from some conventional fixed-time consensus strategies, where the magnitude of initial control input is large, the proposed TBG-based protocols significantly reduce the magnitude, which is demonstrated through comparison studies using illustrative examples.

Finite-Time Stability of Continuous Autonomous Systems

TL;DR: It is shown that the regularity properties of the Lyapunov function and those of the settling-time function are related and converse Lyap Unov results can only assure the existence of continuous Lyap unov functions.
