In this paper, we address the distributed average consensus problem over directed networks in open multi-agent systems (OMAS), where the stability of the network is disrupted by frequent agent arrivals and departures, leading to a…

We consider open multi-agent systems. Unlike the systems usually studied in the literature, here agents may join or leave while the process studied takes place. The system composition and size evolve thus with time. We focus here on systems…
