The voter model is a simple agent-based model to mimic opinion dynamics in social networks: a randomly chosen agent adopts the opinion of a randomly chosen neighbour. This process is repeated until a consensus emerges. Although the basic…

In this paper we investigate the problem of the sudden disconnection of an edge in a discrete-time multi-agent consensus network. If the graph remains strongly connected, the multi-agent system still achieves consensus, but in general,…

In its simplest form the well known consensus problem for a networked family of autonomous agents is to devise a set of protocols or update rules, one for each agent, which can enable all of the agents to adjust or tune their "agreement…
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…
