The leader-following consensus problem of the general fractional-order linear multi-agent systems via event-triggered control is considered. An effective event-trigger controller is designed, and then the leader-following consensus problem of the controlled multi-agent systems is studied by using the Lyapunov theory of fractional-order systems and linear matrix inequality method. The consensus condition and the convergence rate of the system are obtained based on the Mittag–Leffler stability of fractional-order systems. Simulation indicates the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
