The problem of analyzing the performance of networked agents exchanging evidence in a dynamic network has recently grown in importance. This problem has relevance in signal and data fusion network applications and in studying opinion and…

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…

This work addresses the synchronization/consensus problem of identical multi-agent system (MAS) where the agents' dynamics are linear and the communication network is arbitrarily switching among connected topologies. The approach uses a…

In this paper we study the influence of additive noise in randomized consensus algorithms. Assuming that the update matrices are symmetric, we derive a closed form expression for the mean square error induced by the noise, together with…

This paper studies the leaderless consensus problem of {heterogeneous} multiple networked Euler-Lagrange systems subject to persistent disturbances with unknown constant biases, amplitudes, initial phases, and frequencies. The main…

We consider multi-agent systems with cooperative interactions and study the convergence to consensus in the case of time-dependent connections, with possible communication failure. We prove a new condition ensuring consensus: we define a…

We study the state consensus problem for linear shift-invariant discrete-time homogeneous multi-agent systems (MASs) over time-varying graphs. A novel approach based on the small gain theorem is proposed to design the consensus control…

The paper addresses the problem of consensus seeking among second-order linear agents interconnected in a specific ring topology. Unlike the existing results in the field dealing with one-directional digraphs arising in various cyclic…

This paper investigates a decentralized design approach of leader-following consensus protocols for heterogeneous multiagent systems under a fixed communication topology with a directed spanning tree (DST) and asymmetric weight matrix.…

This paper studies the consensus problem of heterogeneous multi-agent systems by the feedforward control and linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control theory. Different from the existing consensus control algorithms, which require to design an…

This paper investigates the consensus problem of multiple uncertain Lagrangian systems. Due to the discontinuity resulted from the switching topology, achieving consensus in the context of uncertain Lagrangian systems is challenging. We…

Successfully attaining consensus in the absence of a centralized coordinator is a fundamental problem in distributed multi-agent systems. We analyze progress in the Synod consensus protocol -- which does not assume a unique leader -- under…

Several algorithms in prior literature have been proposed which guarantee consensus of normally behaving agents in a network that may contain adversarially behaving agents. These algorithms guarantee that the consensus value lies within the…

Consensusability of multi-agent systems (MASs) certifies the existence of a distributed controller capable of driving the states of each subsystem to a consensus value. We study the consensusability of linear interconnected MASs (LIMASs)…

This note further studies the previously proposed consensus protocol for linear multi-agent systems with communication noises in [15], [16]. Each agent is allowed to have its own time-varying gain to attenuate the effect of communication…

Consensus problem of high-order integral multi-agent systems under switching directed topology is considered in this study. Depending on whether the agent's full state is available or not, two distributed protocols are proposed to ensure…

An often neglected issue in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) is the potential presence of unreliable agents in the environment whose deviations from expected behavior can prevent a system from accomplishing its intended tasks. In…

This paper studies multi-agent systems with nonlinear consensus protocols, i.e., only nonlinear measurements of the states are available to agents. The solutions of these systems are understood in Filippov sense since the possible…

Sufficient conditions of consensus (synchronization) in networks described by digraphs and consisting of identical determenistic SIMO systems are derived. Identical and nonidentical control gains (positive arc weights) are considered.…

In this paper, we study finite-time state consensus problems for continuous nonlinear multi-agent systems. Building on the theory of finite-time Lyapunov stability, we propose sufficient criteria which guarantee the system to reach a…
