This paper addresses the distributed consensus problem for a linear multi-agent system with switching directed communication topologies. By appropriately introducing a linear transformation, the consensus problem is equivalently converted…

In this paper, controllability of undirected networked systems with {diffusively coupled subsystems} is considered, where each subsystem is of {identically {\emph{fixed}}} general high-order single-input-multi-output dynamics. The…

In this note, we discuss the problem of consensus finding in communication networks of agents with dynamically switching topologies. In particular, we consider the case of directed networks with unbalanced matrices of communication rates.…

This paper addresses the problem of identifying the topology of an unknown, weighted, directed network running a consensus dynamics. We propose a methodology to reconstruct the network topology from the dynamic response when the system is…

This paper considers the distributed consensus problem of multi-agent systems with general continuous-time linear dynamics. Two distributed adaptive dynamic consensus protocols are proposed, based on the relative output information of…

A proper abstraction of a large-scale linear consensus network with a dense coupling graph is one whose number of coupling links is proportional to its number of subsystems and its performance is comparable to the original network. Optimal…

In this paper, we provide a theoretical analysis for nonlinear discontinuous consensus protocols in networks of multiagents over weighted directed graphs. By integrating the analytic tools from nonsmooth stability analysis and graph theory,…

This paper presents conditions for establishing topological controllability in undirected networks of diffusively coupled agents. Specifically, controllability is considered based on the signs of the edges (negative, positive or zero). Our…

In this paper we study the controllability of networked systems with static network topologies using tools from algebraic graph theory. Each agent in the network acts in a decentralized fashion by updating its state in accordance with a…

This paper addresses the robust consensus problem under switching topologies. Contrary to existing methods, the proposed approach provides decentralized protocols that achieve consensus for networked multi-agent systems in a predefined…

The purpose of this short paper is to provide a theoretical analysis for the consensus problem under nonlinear protocols. A main contribution of this work is to generalize the previous consensus problems under nonlinear protocols for…

We propose an adaptive control strategy for the simultaneous estimation of topology and synchronization in complex dynamical networks with unknown, time-varying topology. Our approach transforms the problem of time-varying topology…

Methods for reconstructing the topology of complex networks from time-resolved observations of node dynamics are gaining relevance across scientific disciplines. Of biggest practical interest are methods that make no assumptions about…

We review the main tools which allow for the statistical characterization of weighted networks. We then present two case studies, the airline connection network and the scientific collaboration network, which are representative of critical…

The network structure (or topology) of a dynamical network is often unavailable or uncertain. Hence, we consider the problem of network reconstruction. Network reconstruction aims at inferring the topology of a dynamical network using…

We study distributed computation in synchronous dynamic networks where an omniscient adversary controls the unidirectional communication links. Its behavior is modeled as a sequence of directed graphs representing the active (i.e. timely)…

Consensus strategies find a variety of applications in distributed coordination and decision making in multi-agent systems. In particular, average consensus plays a key role in a number of applications and is closely associated with two…

In this paper, we study the distributed control of networked cyber-physical systems when a much more energy-efficient distributed communication management strategy is proposed to solve the well-studied consensus problem. In contrast to the…

In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for the controllability of networked systems with heterogeneous dynamics is established where the nodes are higher dimensional linear time invariant systems and the network topology is…

This article investigates discrete-time matrix-weighted consensus of multi-agent networks over undirected and connected graphs. We first present consensus protocols for the agents in common networks of symmetric matrix weights with possibly…
