description A periodic intermittent adaptive control method with saturation is proposed to pin the quasi-consensus of nonlinear heterogeneous multi-agent systems with external disturbances in this paper. A new periodic intermittent adaptive control protocol with saturation is designed to control the internal coupling between the follower agents and the feedback gain between the leader and the follower. In particular, we use the saturation adaptive law: when the quasi-consensus error converges to a certain range, the adaptive coupling edge weight and the adaptive feedback gain will not be updated. Furthermore, we propose three saturated adaptive pinning control protocols. The quasi-consensus is achieved through its own pinning as long as the agents remain connected to each other. Using the Lyapunov function method and inequality technique, the convergence range of the quasi-consensus error of a heterogeneous multi-agent system is obtained. Finally, the rationality of the proposed control protocol is verified through numerical simulation. Theoretical derivation and simulation results show that the novel proposed periodic intermittent adaptive control method with saturation can successfully be used to achieve the pinning of quasi-consensus of nonlinear heterogeneous multi-agent systems.
