Neighbor-based rules are adopted to realize local control strategies for these continuous-time autonomous agents. Sufficient and necessary conditions in terms of linear matrix ine- qualities (LMIs) are given to guarantee the coordination of dynamical agents. Numerical simulations are given and demonstrate that our theoretical results are effective. Keywords: Multi-Agent System, Time-Varying Delay, Consensus Protocol, Laplacian 1.
