In this paper, distributed fixed-time average-tracking problem is discussed for second-order multi-agent systems (MASs) with mismatched and matched disturbances. To address this issue, we first propose a novel distributed fixed-time average estimator for each agent to estimate the average value of multiple time-varying reference signals (TVRSs). Then, to tackle with the case in the presence of external mismatched and matched disturbances, a disturbance observer is constructed to estimate them in a fixed time. Finally, based on the disturbance observer, a fixed-time average-tracking protocol is designed to drive each agent to track the average value of multiple TVRSs within a fixed time. Simulation experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed fixed-time anti-disturbance average-tracking algorithm.
