The fixed-time containment control is investigated for multi-agent systems with inherent nonlinear dynamics.Assuming that not all followers can directly receive information from the leaders and the communication topology between the followers is directed,a distributed control law is designed to solve the fixed-time containment control problem.By using algebraic graph theory,matrix theory and fixed-time stability theory,the conditions on the communication topology are derived for realization of fixed-time containment control.Finally,a simulation example is given to verify the correctness of the theory.
