The guaranteed performance consensus for multiple agents with Lipschitz nonlinear dynamics is investigated by using the delayed consensus protocol. Based on state errors between the one agent and the other agents, the performance function is introduced to describe the consensus regulation performance. The problems are transformed into guaranteed performance stabilization problems by using a matrix transformation approach. Then, some criterions for the guaranteed performance consensus problem with the delayed consensus protocol are obtained and a guaranteed performance value of the performance function is provided. The simulation is given to prove the feasibility of the obtained criterions.
