This paper analyzes the convergence for a large class of Riemannian stochastic approximation (SA) schemes, which aim at tackling stochastic optimization problems. In particular, the recursions we study use either the exponential map of the…
We consider a class of non-linear dynamics on a graph that contains and generalizes various models from network systems and control and study convergence to uniform agreement states using gradient methods. In particular, under the…
We consider a family of non-compact manifolds $X_\eps$ (``graph-like manifolds'') approaching a metric graph $X_0$ and establish convergence results of the related natural operators, namely the (Neumann) Laplacian $\laplacian {X_\eps}$ and…
In this work we construct a sequence of Riemannian metrics on the three-sphere with scalar curvature greater than or equal to $6$ and arbitrarily large widths. Our procedure is based on the connected sum construction of positive scalar…
We consider \emph{plurality consensus} in a network of $n$ nodes. Initially, each node has one of $k$ opinions. The nodes execute a (randomized) distributed protocol to agree on the plurality opinion (the opinion initially supported by the…
A Lyapunov-based approach for the trajectory generation of an $N$-dimensional Schr{\"o}dinger equation in whole $\RR^N$ is proposed. For the case of a quantum particle in an $N$-dimensional decaying potential the convergence is precisely…

In an N-level quantum mechanical system, the problem of unitary feedback stabilization of mixed density operators to periodic orbits admits a natural Lyapunov-based time-varying feedback design. A global description of the domain of…
We provide a protocol for real-valued average consensus by networks of agents which exchange only a single message from the ternary alphabet {-1,0,1} between neighbors at each step. Our protocol works on time-varying undirected graphs…

In this paper, we investigate the approximate consensus problem in highly dynamic networks in which topology may change continually and unpredictably. We prove that in both synchronous and partially synchronous systems, approximate…
