## Abstract (arXiv)

In this paper, we consider the consensus problem of hybrid multi-agent system. First, the hybrid multi-agent system is proposed which is composed of continuous-time and discrete-time dynamic agents. Then, three kinds of consensus protocols are presented for hybrid multi-agent system. The analysis tool developed in this paper is based on the matrix theory and graph theory. With different restrictions of the sampling period, some necessary and sufficient conditions are established for solving the consensus of hybrid multi-agent system. The consensus states are also obtained under different protocols. Finally, simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.
