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 the typical multiagent formation tracking problem centered on consensus, the prevailing assumption in the literature is that the agents' nonlinear models can be approximated by integrator systems, by their feedback-linearized…

This work deals with the output consensus problem for multiagent systems over balanced digraphs by passivity analysis. As the standard diffusive coupling structure only models the undirected interconnection, we propose a general approach…

Motivated by the needs of resiliency, scalability, and plug-and-play operation, distributed decision-making is becoming increasingly prevalent. The problem of achieving consensus in a multi-agent system is at the core of distributed…

We investigate convergence properties of a proposed distributed model predictive control (DMPC) scheme, where agents negotiate to compute an optimal consensus point using an incremental subgradient method based on primal decomposition as…

To improve the reasoning and question-answering capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), several multi-agent approaches have been introduced. While these methods enhance performance, the application of collective intelligence-based…

In this paper, we propose matrix-scaled consensus algorithms for linear dynamical agents interacting over an undirected network. Under the proposed algorithms, the state vectors of all agents to asymptotically agree up to some matrix…

This paper proposes a decentralized design approach of consensus protocols of multi-agent systems via a directed-spanning-tree(DST)-based linear transformation and the corresponding minimal communication links. First, the consensus problem…

The problem of consensus in the presence of misbehaving agents has increasingly attracted attention in the literature. Prior results have established algorithms and graph structures for multi-agent networks which guarantee the consensus of…

This paper studies regulated state synchronization of discrete-time homogeneous networks of non-introspective agents in presence of unknown non-uniform input delays. A scale free protocol is designed based on additional information…

A discrete-time modulus consensus model is considered in which the interaction among a family of networked agents is described by a time-dependent gain graph whose vertices correspond to agents and whose arcs are assigned complex numbers…

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in multi-agent systems where agents communicate in natural language to solve tasks jointly. A key capability in such systems is consensus formation, where agents iteratively exchange…

This paper revisits the problem of multi-agent consensus from a graph signal processing perspective. Describing a consensus protocol as a graph spectrum filter, we present an effective new approach to the analysis and design of consensus…

A theorem on (partial) convergence to consensus of multiagent systems is presented. It is proven with tools studying the convergence properties of products of row stochastic matrices with positive diagonals which are infinite to the left.…

In linear models of consensus dynamics, the state of the various agents converges to a value which is a convex combination of the agents' initial states. We call it democratic if in the large scale limit (number of agents going to infinity)…

This brief addresses the distributed consensus problem of nonlinear multi-agent systems under a general directed communication topology. Each agent is governed by higher-order dynamics with mismatched uncertainties, multiple completely…

In this paper, we present new results on consensus for continuous-time multi- agent systems. We introduce the assumptions of persistent connectivity of the interaction graph and of slow divergence of reciprocal interaction weights.…

The guaranteed-performance consensualization for high-order linear and nonlinear multiagent systems with switching topologies is respectively realized in a completely distributed manner in the sense that consensus design criteria are…

This paper addresses the finite-time non-overshooting leader-following consensus problem for multi-agent systems, whose agents are modeled by a dynamical system topologically equivalent to the integrator chain. Based on the weighted…

In this chapter we look at one of the canonical driving examples for multi-agent systems: average consensus. In this scenario, a group of agents seek to agree on the average of their initial states. Depending on the particular application,…
