contents In multi-agent systems, heterogeneous time delays exist for all agents because of the difference in communication environments. Therefore, the consensus analysis of a system considering a homogeneous time-varying delay among all agents results in conservatism. In this study, an individual-delay-reflected generalized consensus is proposed for multi-agent systems with heterogeneous time-varying delays with various bounds. To reflect heterogeneous time-varying delays, the proposed Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is constructed by dividing the integral term into intervals containing heterogeneous delays and considering augmented vectors with delay states and integral states. Furthermore, by adding zero equality conditions, conservatism is reduced. N-dependent generalized integral inequality is used to allow the user to adjust the computational complexity. Numerical examples demonstrate a reduction in conservatism with the proposed consensus criterion.
