This paper studies the consensus problem of multi-agent systems with asymmetric and reducible topologies. Centralized event-triggered rules are provided so as to reduce the frequency of system's updating. The diffusion coupling feedbacks of…
We consider the problem of decentralized clustering and estimation over multi-task networks, where agents infer and track different models of interest. The agents do not know beforehand which model is generating their own data. They also do…
We analyze stability of consensus algorithms in networks of multi-agents with time-varying topologies and delays. The topology and delays are modeled as induced by an adapted process and are rather general, including i.i.d.\ topology…
In this technical note, cluster consensus of discrete-time linear multi-agent systems is investigated. A set of stochastic matrices $\mathcal{P}$ is said to be a cluster consensus set if the system achieves cluster consensus for any initial…
This paper studies the operation of multi-agent networks engaged in multi-task decision problems under the paradigm of simultaneous learning and adaptation. Two scenarios are considered: one in which a decision must be taken among multiple…
The community structure of complex networks reveals both their organization and hidden relationships among their constituents. Most community detection methods currently available are not deterministic, and their results typically depend on…
In this paper, we study a convergence condition for asynchronous consensus problems in multi-agent systems. The convergence in this context implies the asynchronous consensus value converges to the synchronous one and is unique. Although it…
