Abstract：To overcome the strong time-dependency of conventional intermittent communication mechanism and achieve the rapid convergence requirement in multi-agent systems,this paper proposes a finite-time region-division in-termittent consensus approach.By introducing two boundary functions with finite-time convergence characteristics,the non-negative real domain is partitioned into three sub-regions:Working,resting,and buffer zones.The communication activation among agents is governed by the relationship between the Lyapunov function trajectory and preset sub-regions.A distributed region-division intermittent communication protocol with finite-time convergence is designed,along with an estimation framework for dwell time.Numerical simulations validate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
