Abstract: This paper studies the sampled data based containment control problem of second-order multi-agent systems with intermittent communications, where velocity measurements for each agent are unavailable. A novel controller for second-order containment is put forward via intermittent sampled position data measurement. Several necessary and sufficient conditions are derived to achieve intermittent sampled containment control by means of analyzing the relationship among control gains, eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix, the sampling period, and the communication width. Finally, several simulation examples are used to testify the correctness and effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Key words: Containment control, Second-order multi-agent system, Sampled position data, Intermittent communication, Communication width
