We study delay-induced transitions in consensus dynamics on signed networks with a ring topology. The proposed model is formulated as a system of delay differential equations incorporating both cooperative and antagonistic interactions, as…
Active agents with time-delayed interactions arise naturally in various real-world systems, such as biological systems, transportation networks and robotic swarms. Such systems are typically modeled as Delay Differential Equations (DDEs)…
As multi-agent AI systems become more common, users increasingly encounter not a single AI voice but a collective one. This shift introduces social dynamics, such as consensus, dissent, and gradual convergence, that can trigger cognitive…
This paper studies a class of consensus dynamics where the interactions between agents are affected by a time-varying unknown scaling factor. This situation is encountered in the control of robotic fleets over a wireless network or in…
In this paper, we study Hegselmann-Krause models with a time-variable time delay. Under appropriate assumptions, we show the exponential asymptotic consensus when the time delay satisfies a suitable smallness assumption. Our main strategies…
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…
We study a Hegselmann-Krause type opinion formation model for a system of two populations. The two groups interact with each other via subsets of individuals, namely the leaders, and natural time delay effects are considered. By using…
In this paper, we consider a multi-agent system consisting of mobile agents with second-order dynamics. The communication network is determined by the so-called topological interaction rule: agents interact with a fixed number of their…
A local culture denotes a commonly shared behaviour within a cluster of firms. Similar to social norms or conventions, it is an emergent feature resulting from the firms' interaction in an economic network. To model these dynamics, we…
In this paper, we study the consensus problem for continuous-time and discrete-time multi-agent systems in state-dependent switching networks. In each case, we first consider the networks with fixed connectivity, in which the communication…
We study the effect of communication delays on distributed consensus algorithms. Two ways to model delays on a network are presented. The first model assumes that each link delivers messages with a fixed (constant) amount of delay, and the…
We investigate consensus formation and the asymptotic consensus times in stylized individual- or agent-based models, in which global agreement is achieved through pairwise negotiations with or without a bias. Considering a class of…
In this paper, finite-time state consensus problems for continuous-time multi-agent systems are discussed, and two distributive protocols, which ensure that the states of agents reach an agreement in a finite time, are presented. By…
In this paper, we investigate the problem of dual-rate consensus under transmission delays, where the control updates happen at a faster rate than the measurements being received. We assume that the measurements are delayed by a fixed delay…

We consider the distributed leader-follower consensus problem with event-triggered communications. The system under consideration is a non-linear input-affine multi agent system. The agents are assumed to have identical dynamics structure…
