ABSTRACT: This paper investigates
the flocking problem in multi-agent system with time-varying delay and a
virtual leader. Each agent here is subject to nonlinear dynamics. For the
system, the corresponding algorithm with time-varying delay is proposed. Under
the assumption that the initial network is connected, it is proved that the
distance between agents is in the desired distance. The theoretical deduction
shows that the stable flocking motion is achieved.
