TLDR
It is shown that information consensus under dynamically changing interaction topologies can be achieved asymptotically if the union of the directed interaction graphs have a spanning tree frequently enough as the system evolves.Abstract:
This note considers the problem of information consensus among multiple agents in the presence of limited and unreliable information exchange with dynamically changing interaction topologies. Both discrete and continuous update schemes are proposed for information consensus. This note shows that information consensus under dynamically changing interaction topologies can be achieved asymptotically if the union of the directed interaction graphs have a spanning tree frequently enough as the system evolves.read more

Flocking of Multi-agent Dynamical Systems Based on Pseudo-leader Mechanism
TL;DR: A scheme for choosing pseudo-leaders in a multi-agent group, which can be applied to an unconnected or switching neighbor graph, is proposed by combining the ideas of virtual force and pseudo-leader mechanism.
From Static to Dynamic Couplings in Consensus and Synchronization among Identical and Non-Identical Systems Von der FakultKonstruktions-, Produktions-, und Fahrzeugtechnik der UniversitStuttgart zur Erlangung der Weines Doktors der Ingenieurwissenschaften (Dr.-Ing.) genehmigte Abhandlung
TL;DR: In this article, an improved understanding of the diverse coupling mechanisms leading to consensus and synchronization is presented, and a new hierarchical mechanism for consensus and synchronisation is proposed, where coupling dynamics compensate for heterogeneity in the dynamical models of individual systems as well as communication constraints.

Containment control of multi-agent systems with fixed time-delays in fixed directed networks
TL;DR: This paper investigates the distributed containment control of a group of mobile autonomous agents with multiple stationary or dynamic leaders, when considering the fixed time-delay under fixed directed network topologies.

Consensusability of multi-agent systems with time-varying communication delay
TL;DR: A consensus protocol based on the low gain solution of a parametric algebraic Riccati equation (ARE) and not use the precise information of the amount of time-varying delay is designed.

Group consensus of multi-agent systems with communication delays
TL;DR: This paper investigates group consensus problems for continuous-time multi-agent systems with time delays, where the agents' dynamics are controlled based on information from their neighbors at some discrete time instant.

Consensus problems in networks of agents with switching topology and time-delays
TL;DR: A distinctive feature of this work is to address consensus problems for networks with directed information flow by establishing a direct connection between the algebraic connectivity of the network and the performance of a linear consensus protocol.

TL;DR: A theoretical explanation for the observed behavior of the Vicsek model, which proves to be a graphic example of a switched linear system which is stable, but for which there does not exist a common quadratic Lyapunov function.
