Prescribed-Time Cooperative Output Regulation of Linear Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Systems

The authors propose a prescribed-time cooperative output regulation (PTCOR) algorithm for a class of linear heterogeneous multi-agent systems (MASs) under a directed communication graph. The algorithm utilizes prescribed-time distributed observers, local state observers, and tracking controllers to ensure that the regulated outputs converge to zero within a prescribed time and remain as zero afterwards, while all internal signals in the closed-loop MASs are uniformly bounded.
