The paper studies the problem of achieving consensus in multi-agent systems in the case where the dependency digraph $\Gamma$ has no spanning in-tree. We consider the regularization protocol that amounts to the addition of a dummy agent…
This paper investigates the problem of securing exponentially fast consensus (exponential consensus for short) for identical agents with finite-dimensional linear system dynamics over dynamic network topology. Our aim is to find the weakest…
We derive fundamental performance limitations for intrinsic average consensus problems in open multi-agent systems, which are systems subject to frequent arrivals and departures of agents. Each agent holds a value, and the objective of the…
This paper addresses the problem of distributed control for leader-follower multi-agent systems under prescribed performance guarantees. Leader-follower is meant in the sense that a group of agents with external inputs are selected as…
Average consensus (AC) strategies play a key role in every system that employs cooperation by means of distributed computations. To promote consensus, an $N$-agent network can repeatedly combine certain node estimates until their mean value…
This paper consider a standard consensus algorithm under output saturations. In the presence of output saturations, global consensus can not be realized due to the existence of stable, unachievable equilibrium points for the consensus.…
We study the consensus formation for an agents based model, generalizing that originally proposed by Krause \cite{Kr}, by allowing the communication channels between any couple of agents to be switched on or off randomly, at each time step,…
A cyber security problem in a networked system formulated as a resilient graph problem based on a game-theoretic approach is considered. The connectivity of the underlying graph of the network system is reduced by an attacker who removes…
In this paper, a novel two-level framework was proposed and applied to solve the output average consensus problem over heterogeneous multi-agent systems. This approach is mainly based on the recent technique of system abstraction. For given…
This paper presents a novel framework which combines a non-iterative solution of Real-Time Nonlinear Receding Horizon Control (NRHC) methodology to achieve consensus within complex network topologies with existing time-delays and in…
This work examines the problem of topology inference over discrete-time nonlinear stochastic networked dynamical systems. The goal is to recover the underlying digraph linking the network agents, from observations of their state-evolution.…
In this paper, a bipartite consensus problem for a multi-agent system is formulated firstly. Then an event-based interaction rule is proposed for the multi-agent system with antagonistic interactions. The bipartite consensus stability is…
This paper presents a distributed adaptive control strategy for multi-agent systems with heterogeneous dynamics and collision avoidance. We propose an adaptive control strategy designed to ensure leader-following formation consensus while…
This note corrects a pretty serious mistake and some inaccuracies in "Consensus and cooperation in networked multi-agent systems" by R. Olfati-Saber, J.A. Fax, and R.M. Murray, published in Vol. 95 of the Proceedings of the IEEE (2007, No.…
In this work, we consider the consensus problem in which legitimate agents share their values over an undirected communication network in the presence of malicious or faulty agents. Different from the previous works, we characterize the…
Distributed control increases system scalability, flexibility, and redundancy. Foundational to such decentralisation is consensus formation, by which decision-making and coordination are achieved. However, decentralised multi-agent systems…
Consensusability of multi-agent systems (MASs) certifies the existence of a distributed controller capable of driving the states of each subsystem to a consensus value. We study the consensusability of linear interconnected MASs (LIMASs)…
A broad set of empirical phenomenon in the study of social, economic and machine behaviour can be modelled as complex systems with averaging dynamics. However many of these models naturally result in consensus or consensus-like outcomes. In…
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…
In this paper, we consider the problem of containment control of multi-agent systems with multiple stationary leaders, interacting over a directed network. While, containment control refers to just ensuring that the follower agents reach…
