TL;DR: In this paper, an application of Popov criterion generalizations for time-varying systems is considered in regard to the tolerance of small amounts of memoryless sector nonlinearities existent in any practical realization of a linear system.

TL;DR: In this paper, a discrete-time distributed algorithm for multi-agent networks to achieve the minimum l 1-norm solution to a group of linear equations known to possess a family of solutions is proposed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated linear passive time-variable networks through the use of distributional kernels as applied to the scattering matrix treated in the time domain, and necessary and sufficient conditions for passivity were obtained.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the problem of using sensor networks to perform distributed measurement of a parameter which has both spatial (in this paper 1D) and temporal variations, and propose two schemes for computation of local average consensus: exponential weighting and uniform finite window.

TL;DR: In social networks where individuals discuss opinions on a sequence of topics, the selfconfidence an individual exercises in relation to one topic, as measured by the weighting given to their own opinion as against the opinion of all others, can vary in the light of the self-appraisal by the individual of their contribution to the previous topic as discussed by the authors.
