A delay system method is used to transform the multi-agent systems into a special delay system based on a sampled-data event triggering mechanism, which only requires supervision of system states at discrete instants. Sufficient conditions to achieve the consensus with guaranteed cost are presented and expressed as a continuous constrained optimization problem with a linear objective function, linear and bilinear matrix inequalities constraints, involving the co-design of the controller gain matrix and event triggering parameters. An illustrative example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.en© 2015 TheFranklin Institute.Published by Elsevier Ltd.
