Abstract
This paper considers the problem of leader-following consensus stability and also stabilization for multi-agent systems with interval time-varying delays. The randomly occurring interconnection information of the leader and the Markovian switching interconnection information of the agent are matters of concern in the systems. Through construction of a suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and utilization of the reciprocally convex approach, new delay-dependent consensus stability and stabilization conditions for the systems are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) which can be easily solved by using various effective optimization algorithms. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
