In this work the system of agents is applied to establish a model of the nonlinear distributed signal processing. The evolution of the system of the agents - by the prediction time scale diversified trend followers, has been studied for the…
In this paper, we study output synchronization for multi-agent systems. The objective is to design a protocol which only depends on the agent dynamics and does not require any knowledge of the network. If the network has a directed spanning…
In this paper, we propose a network-optimization framework for the analysis of multi-agent systems with passive-short agents. We consider the known connection between diffusively-coupled maximally equilibrium-independent passive systems,…

This paper proposes a balancing-based model reduction approach for an interconnection of passive dynamic subsystems. This approach preserves the passivity and stability of both the subsystems and the interconnected system. Hereto, one…
We propose an active inference agent to identify and control a mechanical system with multiple bodies connected by joints. This agent is constructed from multiple scalar autoregressive model-based agents, coupled together by virtue of…
Reactivity, contractivity, and Lyapunov exponents are powerful tools for studying the stability properties of dynamical systems and have been extensively investigated in the literature for decades. In this paper, we review and extend the…
A graph theoretic framework recently has been proposed to stabilize interconnected multiagent systems in a distributed fashion, while systematically capturing the architectural aspect of cyber-physical systems with separate agent or…
This work presents a passivity-based analysis for the nonlinear output agreement problem in network systems over directed graphs. We reformulate the problem as a convergence analysis on the agreement submanifold. First, we establish how…
In this technical note we consider a class of multi-agent network systems that we refer to as Open Multi-Agent Systems (OMAS): in these multi-agent systems, an indefinite number of agents may join or leave the network at any time. Focusing…
In multiagent dynamical systems, privacy protection corresponds to avoid disclosing the initial states of the agents while accomplishing a distributed task. The system-theoretic framework described in this paper for this scope, denoted…
We review existing approaches to mathematical modeling and analysis of multi-agent systems in which complex collective behavior arises out of local interactions between many simple agents. Though the behavior of an individual agent can be…
A multi-dimensional switched system or multi-mode multi-dimensional ($M^3D$) system extends the classic switched system by allowing different subsystem dimensions. The stability problem of the $M^3D$ system, whose state transitions at…
In this paper we study multiagent models with time-varying type change. Assume that there exist a closed system of $N$ agents classified into $r$ types according to their states of an internal system; each agent changes its type by an…
A group behavior of a heterogeneous multi-agent system is studied which obeys an "average of individual vector fields" under strong couplings among the agents. Under stability of the averaged dynamics (not asking stability of individual…
The behaviour of multi-agent learning in many player games has been shown to display complex dynamics outside of restrictive examples such as network zero-sum games. In addition, it has been shown that convergent behaviour is less likely to…
Modeling multi-agent systems requires understanding how agents interact. Such systems are often difficult to model because they can involve a variety of types of interactions that layer together to drive rich social behavioral dynamics.…
We address the synchronization problem in open multi-agent systems (OMAS) containing both cooperative and antagonistic interactions. In these systems, agents can join or leave the network over time, and the interaction structure may evolve…
This paper investigates a passivity-based approach to output consensus analysis in heterogeneous networks composed of non-identical agents coupled via nonlinear interactions, in the presence of measurement and/or communication noise.…
Adaptive synchronization protocols for heterogeneous multi-agent network are investigated. The interaction between each of the agents is carried out through a directed graph. We highlight the lack of communication between agents and the…
