We present consensus analysis of systems with single integrator dynamics interacting via time-varying graphs under the event-triggered control paradigm. Event-triggered control sparsifies the control applied, thus reducing the control…
The present paper investigates the robustness of the consensus protocol over weighted directed graphs using the Nyquist criterion. The limit to which a single weight can vary, while consensus among the agents can be achieved, is explicitly…
