| contents | This paper addresses the problem of reaching consensus under input saturation and intermittent communication, which can hinder the convergence of the system. We propose a method that translates the consensus into an equivalent stability problem. Then, we compute bounded sets that enclose the initial conditions and the evolution of trajectories leading to local input-to-state stability for systems interconnected over directed intermittent topologies. Our contributions include sufficient conditions for stability and stabilization of multi-agent systems under intermittent interactions and saturating inputs, with the ability to evaluate disturbance tolerance and rejection based on the regions that enclose the system's trajectories. We define disturbance rejection in terms of the $\mathscr{L}_2$ gain, and formulate stability and controller design conditions as convex optimization problems. Our method enable the maximization of regions that ensure local input-to-state stability, we provide numerical examples highlighting the trade-offs between mean frequency of intermittent interactions, disturbance energy, and convergence region size. |
