Özet

This paper delves into the challenge of achieving group consensus in a multi-agent network with both input and communication delays. In the absence of any restrictive graph structure, the concepts of primary and secondary layer subgraphs are utilized to identify the number of naturally emerging consensus groups and their members within the network. Furthermore, delay conditions are derived to guarantee the system's convergence to group consensus. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the validity of the theoretical results.
