The　consensus　problem　for　a　class　of　hybrid　linear　multi-agent　systems　has　been　studied.　By　utilizing　the　modified　H∞　type　Riccati　inequalities,　both　distributed　dynamic　state　feedback　and　distributed　dynamic　output　feedback　control　laws　have　been　presented　to　solve　this　problem.　Our　results　extend　the　consensus　studies　from　purely　continuous-time　or　discrete-time　multi-agent　systems　to　hybrid　multi-agent　systems.　Future　studies　will　focus　on　the　hybrid　linear　multi-agent　systems　subject　to　jointly-connected　switching　communication　graphs.　The　hybrid　multi-agent　systems　with　nonlinear　dynamics　and　time-varying　periods　are　the　other　two　significant　future　extensions.　©　2022,　Science　China　Press　and　Springer-Verlag　GmbH　Germany,　part　of　Springer　Nature.
