We extend the analysis developed in [33] in order to prove convergence to consensus results for a Cucker-Smale type model with hierarchical leadership and distributed delay. Flocking estimates are obtained for a general interaction…
In multi-agent systems, heterogeneous time delays exist for all agents because of the difference in communication environments. Therefore, the consensus analysis of a system considering a homogeneous time-varying delay among all agents…
This paper studies asymptotic consensus in systems in which agents do not necessarily have self-confidence, i.e., may disregard their own value during execution of the update rule. We show that the prevalent hypothesis of self-confidence in…
The consensus model of Krause and Hegselmann can be naturally extended to the case in which opinions are integer instead of real numbers. Our algorithm is much faster than the original version and thus more suitable for applications. For…
