Both humans and social animals live in groups and are frequently faced to choose between options with different qualities. When no leader agents are controlling the group decision, consensus can be achieved through repeated interactions…
Achieving consensus via nearest neighbor rules is an important prerequisite for multi-agent networks to accomplish collective tasks. A common assumption in consensus setup is that each agent interacts with all its neighbors. This paper…
