In this paper, the consensus problems of the continuous-time integrator systems under noisy measurements are considered. The measurement noises, which appear when agents measure their neighbors' states, are modeled to be multiplicative. By…
This work shows an approach to achieve output consensus among heterogeneous agents in a multi-agent environment where each agent is subject to input constraints. The communication among agents is described by a time-varying…
In this technical note, we first clarify a technical issue in the convergence proof of a free-will arbitrary time (FwAT) consensus law proposed recently in Pal et al. IEEE Trans. Cybern. (2020)[1], making the results questionable. We then…
In the stabilizing consensus problem, each agent of a networked system has an input value and is repeatedly writing an output value; it is required that eventually all the output values stabilize to the same value which, moreover, must be…
In this paper, from the structural perspective, we propose a new stability analysis approach for the consensus of linear multi-agent systems. Different from the general tools: the Laplacian matrix based method and the Lyapunov's method,…
In this paper, we discuss pinning consensus in networks of multiagents via impulsive controllers. In particular, we consider the case of using only one impulsive controller. We provide a sufficient condition to pin the network to a…
We establish average consensus on graphs with dynamic topologies prescribed by evolutionary games among strategic agents. Each agent possesses a private reward function and dynamically decides whether to create new links and/or whether to…
A local culture denotes a commonly shared behaviour within a cluster of firms. Similar to social norms or conventions, it is an emergent feature resulting from the firms' interaction in an economic network. To model these dynamics, we…
In this paper, we study sufficient conditions for the emergence of asymptotic consensus and flocking in a certain class of non-linear generalised Cucker-Smale systems subject to multiplicative communication failures. Our approach is based…
This paper studies consensus of discrete-time multi-agent systems under time-varying directed communication, state and input constraints using a distributed multi-step model predictive control (MPC) framework. Consensus is recast as…
Distributed algorithms of multi-agent coordination have attracted substantial attention from the research community; the simplest and most thoroughly studied of them are consensus protocols in the form of differential or difference…
We introduce the problem of asymptotic subspace consensus, which requires the outputs of processes to converge onto a common subspace while remaining inside the convex hull of initial vectors.This is a relaxation of asymptotic consensus in…
In this paper, we study the robustness of the event-triggered consensus algorithms against frequency-domain uncertainties. It is revealed that the sampling errors resulted by event triggering are essentially images of linear finite-gain…
Within the framework of a simple model for social influence, the Taylor model, we analytically investigate the role of stubborn agents in the overall opinion dynamics of networked systems. Similar to zealots, stubborn agents are biased…
This paper investigates the communication strategy for second-order multi-agent systems with nonlinear dynamics. To save the scarce resources of communication channels, a novel event-triggered communication mechanism is designed without…
Consensus planning is a method for coordinating decision making across complex systems and organizations, including complex supply chain optimization pipelines. It arises when large interdependent distributed agents (systems) share common…
This paper investigates the impact of bounded actuation on the connectivity-preserving consensus of two classes of multi-agent systems, with kinematic agents and with Euler- Lagrange agents. The investigation establishes that: (1) there…
