Reference-Governed Distributed Safe Gradient Flow for Safe Optimal Output Agreement of Multi-Agent Systems
Zhanglin Shangguan, Wei Xiao, Bo Yang, Xinping Guan
This paper studies safe optimal output agreement for nonlinear multi-agent systems with output safety constraints. Existing safe feedback optimization methods often implement gradient-flow dynamics directly through the plant input, which may require high-order control barrier fun…
