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,…
All intelligence is collective intelligence, in the sense that it is made of parts which must align with respect to system-level goals. Understanding the dynamics which facilitate or limit navigation of problem spaces by aligned parts thus…
