State-dependent networked dynamical systems are ones where the interconnections between agents change as a function of the states of the agents. Such systems are highly nonlinear, and a cohesive strategy for their control is lacking in the…

Large-Scale Multi-Agent Systems (LS-MAS) consist of several autonomous components, interacting in a non-trivial way, so that the emerging behaviour of the ensemble depends on the individual dynamics of the components and their reciprocal…
We consider a multi-agent confinement control problem in which a single leader has a purely repulsive effect on follower agents with double-integrator dynamics. By decomposing the leader's control inputs into periodic and aperiodic…
