We study scaled group consensus problems of the first/second-order multi-agent dynamics under continuous/discrete-time settings. For a directed multi-agent network with finite sub-networks, the scaled group consensus is concerned with this case that all the sub-networks reach consensus, separately, while maintain the given ratios among the multiple consensus. First/second-order distributed protocols with continuous/discrete data are designed to solve the scaled group consensus problems, and then necessary and sufficient criteria are established to guarantee the agents' states reaching the scaled group consensus asymptotically applying both algebraic and analytical tools. Finally, the effectiveness of the theoretical results are verified by several simulation examples.
