Abstract
This paper studies a problem of selecting a right set of driver nodes of multiple input multi-agent system (MAS) subject to actuator saturation. A controllable multi-agent system can be driven from any initial state to any desired state using a set of driver nodes. For many systems, a set of driver nodes to control the multi-agent system is not unique. It is important to characterize this set of driver nodes and select the right set of driver nodes. The work discusses theory and algorithms to select a set of driver nodes. The selection of a particular set as a driver set is based on region of attraction associated with a particular set. The set is selected such that largest region of attraction can be obtained. A multiple-input multi-agent system which can be controllable using a set of driver nodes is considered. Nonuniqueness of the set of driver nodes poses a challenge to select a right set of driver nodes. The work addresses this issue. The presented algorithms are illustrated through examples.

On the Bipartite Consensus for Generic Linear Multiagent Systems With Input Saturation

TL;DR: If each agent is asymptotically null controllable with bounded controls and the interaction topology described by a signed digraph is structurally balanced and contains a spanning tree, then the semi-global bipartite consensus can be achieved for the linear multiagent system by a linear feedback controller with the control gain being designed via the low gain feedback technique.

Convex Optimization

TL;DR: In this article, the focus is on recognizing convex optimization problems and then finding the most appropriate technique for solving them, and a comprehensive introduction to the subject is given. But the focus of this book is not on the optimization problem itself, but on the problem of finding the appropriate technique to solve it.
