Abstract
Abstract In this article, bipartite consensus is investigated for linear multi‐agent systems (MASs) via adaptive asynchronous intermittent control. Adaptive asynchronous intermittent bipartite consensus protocols are proposed for MASs with antagonistic links under both fixed and connected switching topologies. By using gauge transformation and stability theory, convergency analysis is given and some conditions of bipartite consensus are obtained. It is turned out that bipartite consensus can be realized if the communication rate is no less than a threshold under the assumption that the network is connected and structurally balanced. Finally, two simulation examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the obtained results.
