A consensus system is a linear multi-agent system in which agents communicate to reach a so-called consensus state, defined as the average of the initial states of the agents. Consider a more generalized situation in which each agent is…

One salient feature of cooperative formation tracking is its distributed nature that relies on localized control and information sharing over a sparse communication network. That is, a distributed control manner could be prone to malicious…
