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…
In this article, we establish exponential contraction results for the diameter and variance of general first-order multiagent systems. Our approach is based on compactification techniques, and works under rather mild assumptions. Namely, we…
Suppose we are given a system of coupled oscillators on an unknown graph along with the trajectory of the system during some period. Can we predict whether the system will eventually synchronize? Even with a known underlying graph…
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in multi-agent systems where agents communicate in natural language to solve tasks jointly. A key capability in such systems is consensus formation, where agents iteratively exchange…
This paper establishes novel results regarding the global convergence properties of a large class of consensus protocols for multi-agent systems that evolve in continuous time on the n-dimensional unit sphere or n-sphere. For any connected,…
We study a system of $N$ interacting particles moving on the unit sphere in $d$-dimensional space. The particles are self-propelled and coupled all to all, and their motion is heavily overdamped. For $d=2$, the system reduces to the classic…
In this paper, we study asynchronous consensus problems of continuous-time multi-agent systems with discontinuous information transmission. The proposed consensus control strategy is implemented only based on the state information at some…
We study renormalization-group flows in Yukawa theories with massless fermions, including determination of fixed points and curves that separate regions of different flow behavior. We assess the reliability of perturbative calculations for…
We classify all the translating solitons to the mean curvature flow in the three-dimensional Heisenberg group that are invariant under the action of some one-parameter group of isometries of the ambient manifold. The problem is solved…
This paper addresses the leader-following consensus problem for discrete-time positive multi-agent systems over time-varying graphs. We assume that the followers may have mutually different positive dynamics which can also be different from…
In this work we study the coupled dynamics of social balance and opinion formation. We propose a model where agents form opinions under bounded confidence, but only considering the opinions of their friends. The signs of social ties…
Drawing inspiration from the theory of linear "decomposable systems", we provide a method, based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which makes it possible to prove the convergence (or consensus) of a set of interacting agents with…
We provide an analysis of the classic Kuramoto model of coupled nonlinear oscillators that goes beyond the existing results for all-to-all networks of identical oscillators. Our work is applicable to oscillator networks of arbitrary…
It is argued that renormalisation group flow can be interpreted as being a Hamiltonian vector flow on a phase space which consists of the couplings of the theory and their conjugate \lq\lq momenta", which are the vacuum expectation values…
A remarkable number of different numerical algorithms can be understood and analyzed using the concepts of symmetric spaces and Lie triple systems, which are well known in differential geometry from the study of spaces of constant curvature…
A novel distributed control law for consensus of networked double integrator systems with biased measurements is developed in this article. The agents measure relative positions over a time-varying, undirected graph with an unknown and…
Differences in opinion can be seen as distances between individuals, and such differences do not always vanish over time. In this paper, we propose a modeling framework that captures the formation of opinion clusters, based on extensions of…
The Lie point symmetries and corresponding invariant solutions are obtained for a Gaussian, irrotational, compressible fluid flow. A supersymmetric extension of this model is then formulated through the use of a superspace and superfield…
This paper considers the distributed consensus problem of linear multi-agent systems subject to different matching uncertainties for both the cases without and with a leader of bounded unknown control input. Due to the existence of…
The Kuramoto model has been introduced in order to describe synchronization phenomena observed in groups of cells, individuals, circuits, etc... We look at the Kuramoto model with white noise forces: in mathematical terms it is a set of N…
