Summary This paper considers the gain‐scheduled leader‐follower tracking control problem for a parameter varying complex interconnected system with directed communication topology and uncertain norm‐bounded coupling between the agents. A gain‐scheduled consensus‐type control protocol is proposed and a sufficient condition is obtained, which guarantees a suboptimal bound on the system tracking performance under this protocol. An interpolation technique is used to obtain a protocol schedule, which is continuous in the scheduling parameter. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using a simulation example.
