description This paper proposes a distributed model-free adaptive bipartite consensus tracking (DMFABCT) scheme. The proposed scheme is independent of a precise mathematical model, but can achieve both bipartite time-invariant and time-varying trajectory tracking for unknown dynamic discrete-time heterogeneous multi-agent systems (MASs) with switching topology and coopetition networks. The main innovation of this algorithm is to estimate an equivalent dynamic linearization data model by the pseudo partial derivative (PPD) approach, where only the input–output (I/O) data of each agent is required, and the cooperative interactions among agents are investigated. The rigorous proof of the convergent property is given for DMFABCT, which reveals that the trajectories error can be reduced. Finally, three simulations results show that the novel DMFABCT scheme is effective and robust for unknown heterogeneous discrete-time MASs with switching topologies to complete bipartite consensus tracking tasks.
