On the Observability of Leader-Based Multiagent Systems with Fixed Topology

This paper investigates the observability of first-order, second-order, and high-order leader-based multiagent systems (MASs) with fixed topology, respectively. Some new algebraic and graphical characterizations of the observability for the first-order MASs are established based on agreement protoco...
