TL;DR: The localization process is used by a three agent formation to achieve velocity consensus combined with formation shape control in self-localization and formation control tasks.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown how the two concepts of formation shape control and flocking behavior can be combined when one changes from an agent with single integration to one with double integration, and this new contribution is to do this when, as is common, there is a leader in the formation.

TL;DR: A strategy is developed based on simplification of the merging problem to a problem of growing a minimally or globally rigid graph to control the merging efficiently and optimally.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of averaging is developed for the stability analysis of linear differential equations with small time-varying coefficients which do not necessarily possess a (global) average, and the technique is then applied to determine the stability of a linear equation which arises in the study of adaptive systems where the adaptive parameters are slowly varying.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tackle the problem of factoring a real polynomial (f( z )), nonzero on $| z | = 1, as the product of two polynomials with zeros in the product.
