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

Consensus problem in directed networks of multi-agents via nonlinear protocols☆
TL;DR: In this article, the consensus problem via distributed nonlinear protocols for directed networks is investigated and its dynamical behaviors are described by ordinary differential equations (ODEs) based on graph theory, matrix theory and the Lyapunov direct method.

Distributed robust estimation over randomly switching networks using H ∞ consensus
TL;DR: Enough conditions are proposed which guarantee a suboptimal H"~ level of relative disagreement of estimates in such observer networks which enable the network gains to be computed by solving certain LMIs.

On the general consensus protocol of multi-agent systems with double-integrator dynamics
TL;DR: A periodic consensus protocol for multi-agent systems with double-integrator dynamics is obtained and it is revealed that the maximum convergence speed can be achieved by choosing suitable gains.

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.
