A consensus system is a linear multi-agent system in which agents communicate to reach a so-called consensus state, defined as the average of the initial states of the agents. Consider a more generalized situation in which each agent is…
In the analysis of consensus problems for multi-agent systems affected by time delays, the delay margin for a given protocol is heavily dependent on the communication topology being used. This document aims to answer the question of what is…
Adapting a counterexample recently proposed by J.L. Mancilla-Aguilar and H. Haimovich, we show here that, for time-delay systems, global asymptotic stability does not ensure that solutions converge uniformly to zero over bounded sets of…
