This work studies the effects of a weak notion of symmetry on diffusively-coupled multi-agent systems. We focus on networks comprised of agents and controllers which are maximally equilibrium independent passive, and show that these…
In this paper, we propose a network-optimization framework for the analysis of multi-agent systems with passive-short agents. We consider the known connection between diffusively-coupled maximally equilibrium-independent passive systems,…
The paper addresses the synchronization of multi-agent systems with continuous-time dynamics interacting through a very general class of monotonic continuous signal functions that covers estimation biases, approximation of discrete…
This paper investigates the autonomous synchronization problem for discrete-time heterogeneous multiagent systems. The synchronization problem is transformed into the asymptotic decoupling problem of stable modes in a class of discrete-time…
We propose a methodology to analyze synchronization in an ensemble of diffusively coupled multistable systems. First, we study how two bidirectionally coupled multistable oscillators synchronize and demonstrate the high complexity of the…
The theory of network identification, namely identifying the interaction topology among a known number of agents, has been widely developed for linear agents over recent years. However, the theory for nonlinear agents remains less…
This paper presents a class of passivity-based cooperative control problems that have an explicit connection to convex network optimization problems. The new notion of maximal equilibrium independent passivity is introduced and it is shown…
This paper studies a stabilization problem for linear MIMO systems subject to external perturbation that further requires the closed-loop system render a specified gain from the external perturbation to the output. The problem arises from…
A group behavior of a heterogeneous multi-agent system is studied which obeys an "average of individual vector fields" under strong couplings among the agents. Under stability of the averaged dynamics (not asking stability of individual…
In this paper, the synchronization of heterogeneous agents interacting over a dynamical network is studied. The edge dynamics can model the inter-agent communications which are often heterogeneous by nature. They can also model the…
In this paper, we introduce the system theoretic model for the multi-agent MC systems represented by multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) systems using the transfer functions, and then propose a method to analyze the stability for the…
Despite significant progress on stability analysis of conventional multiagent networked systems with weakly coupled state-network dynamics, most of the existing results have shortcomings in addressing multiagent systems with highly coupled…
Multi-agent systems (MAS) is able to characterize the behavior of individual agent and the interaction between agents. Thus, it motivates us to leverage the distributed constraint optimization problem (DCOP), a framework of modeling MAS, to…
Gradual advancement of control technology gives rise to the studies of the stability of linear systems. The stability of the linear multiagent system is motivated by increasing utilization of agent dynamics together with the number of…
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…
In this paper, we propose a general mathematical framework to represent many multi-agent signalling systems in recent works. Our goal is to apply previous results in monotonicity to this class of systems and study their asymptotic behavior.…
In this report we provide a decentralized robust control approach, which guarantees that connectivity of a multi-agent network is maintained when certain bounded input terms are added to the control strategy. Our main motivation for this…
In this technical note, we investigate an optimal output consensus problem for heterogeneous uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems. The considered agents are described by high-order nonlinear dynamics subject to both static and dynamic…
The problem of controlling multi-agent systems under different models of information sharing among agents has received significant attention in the recent literature. In this paper, we consider a setup where rather than committing to a…
With the advent of 21st century and increasing advancements in the field of technology and connectivity, inter-networking in real-time has achieved great importance. Distributed control and multi-agent paradigm has groped rapidly with…
