Description
Summary:The problem of finite-time partial component consensus (FTPCC) for first-order nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) is investigated in this paper for the first time. By incorporating the permutation matrix approach, we derive a novel error system for identical components, which facilitates stability analysis. Leveraging partial variable stability theory and related foundational knowledge, we devise two adaptable protocols. These protocols are tailored to achieve FTPCC in nonlinear MASs, one for systems without disturbances and another for those with bounded disturbances. To validate our findings, numerical examples are provided, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed results.
