The subsystems are allowed to have non-identical dynamics with similar structures and the same yet arbitrary system order. Suppose that the communications among the subsystems can be represented by a directed graph. A fully distributed adaptive control approach based on a backstepping technique that is different from most of the existing results is proposed, which does not use global information as a parameter of the topology. It is proved that boundedness of all closed-loop signals and asymptotic consensus tracking for all the subsystems\u2019 outputs are ensured. In simulation studies, a numerical example is illustrated to show the effectiveness of the control scheme. Moreover, the design strategy is successfully applied to solve a formation control problem for multiple underactuated ships. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0142331216663824","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,8]],"date-time":"2016-10-08T01:50:09Z","timestamp":1475891409000},"page":"675-684","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Fully distributed adaptive consensus control for a class of nonlinear systems of directed topology"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Jiangshuai","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation, Chongqing University, China"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China"}]},{"given":"Qing-Guo","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Intelligent Systems (IIS), University of Johannesburg, South Africa"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sysconle.2007.07.003"},{"key":"bibr2-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.automatica.2008.11.008"},{"key":"bibr3-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.automatica.2010.08.008"},{"key":"bibr4-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/rnc.1647"},{"key":"bibr5-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.automatica.2004.01.021"},{"key":"bibr6-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TCST.2007.908214"},{"key":"bibr7-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TSMCB.2010.2056917"},{"key":"bibr8-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TSMCB.2008.2007810"},{"key":"bibr9-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TAC.2014.2350391"},{"key":"bibr10-0142331216663824","volume-title":"Advanced Engineering Mathematics","author":"Kreyszig E","year":"2006","edition":"9"},{"volume-title":"Nonlinear and Adaptive Control Design","year":"1995","author":"Krstic M","key":"bibr11-0142331216663824"},{"key":"bibr12-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TAC.2011.2109437"},{"key":"bibr13-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TAC.2003.816963"},{"key":"bibr14-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TAC.2010.2103415"},{"volume-title":"Cooperative Control of Dynamic Systems: Applications to Autonomous Vehicles","year":"2009","author":"Qu Z","key":"bibr15-0142331216663824"},{"volume-title":"Distributed Coordination of Multi-agent Networks: Emergent Problems, Models and Issues","year":"2010","author":"Ren W","key":"bibr16-0142331216663824"},{"key":"bibr17-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sysconle.2010.06.016"},{"key":"bibr18-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.automatica.2010.10.050"},{"key":"bibr19-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.automatica.2014.02.028"},{"key":"bibr20-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/acs.2682"},{"key":"bibr21-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TCSI.2011.2106032"},{"key":"bibr22-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.automatica.2012.05.068"},{"key":"bibr23-0142331216663824","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.automatica.2012.05.008"}],"container-title":["Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0142331216663824","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0142331216663824","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0142331216663824","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,1]],"date-time":"2025-03-01T15:48:47Z","timestamp":1740844127000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0142331216663824"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,7]]},"references-count":23,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0142331216663824"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0142331216663824","relation":{},"ISSN":["0142-3312","1477-0369"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0142-3312"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1477-0369"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,7]]}}}
