  • Abstract This paper studies the distributed average tracking problem for multiple time-varying signals generated by linear dynamics, whose reference inputs are nonzero and not available to any agent in the network. In the edge-based framework, a pair of continuous algorithms with, respectively, static and adaptive coupling strengths is designed. Based on the boundary layer concept, the proposed continuous algorithm with static coupling strengths can asymptotically track the average of multiple reference signals without the chattering phenomenon. Furthermore, for the case of algorithms with adaptive coupling strengths, average tracking errors are uniformly ultimately bounded and exponentially converge to a small adjustable bounded set. Finally, a simulation example is presented to show the validity of theoretical results.
