Abstract
This paper is concerned with a consensus problem of a class of second-order multi-agent systems with nonuniform time-delays. A distributed consensus algorithm is adopted to drive all agents to reach consensus and move together with a constant velocity. By a frequency domain approach, an upper bound on the maximum of the time-delays that can be tolerated is given for the consensus of the system. © 2013 The Franklin Institute.
