Abstract
Summary This article presents a distributed adaptive integral‐type event‐triggered scheme (ETS) and an agent‐dependent switching strategy with dwell time to solve the cooperative output regulation problem for switched multiagent systems. First, by constructing an adaptive law to dynamically update the time‐varying coupling weights for all the communication links, a fully distributed ETS is designed, where only the local information of the topology is adopted. Based on the integral‐type triggering condition, the interevent interval is substantially enlarged and Zeno behavior is explicitly ruled out. Second, each agent permits all the subsystems to be unstabilizable. The switching signal for each agent is different, and any adjacent switches of each agent satisfy the preset dwell time. Under the designed switching strategy, the solvability of the regulation problem is guaranteed. Finally, the effectiveness of the designed ETS and switching strategy is substantiated by an example.
