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

Cooperative path planning for multiple UAVs in dynamic and uncertain environments
TL;DR: This paper addresses the problem of cooperative path planning for a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by coupling the failure probabilities for each UAV to the selected missions for all other UAVs, and designs coordination plans that optimally exploit the coupling effects of cooperation between Uavs to improve survival probabilities.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a class of directed graphs, called balanced graphs, have a crucial role in solving average-consensus problems and a group disagreement function, Lyapunov function, is proposed for convergence analysis of this agreement protocol for networks with directed graphs and switching topology.
