Consensus is one of the most fundamental problems in distributed computing. This paper studies the consensus problem in a synchronous dynamic directed network, in which communication is controlled by an oblivious message adversary. The…

We study chaotic systems with multiple time delays that range over several orders of magnitude. We show that the spectrum of Lyapunov exponents (LE) in such systems possesses a hierarchical structure, with different parts scaling with the…

This paper considers the resilient multi-dimensional consensus problem in networked systems, where some of the agents might be malicious (or faulty). We propose a multi-dimensional consensus algorithm, where at each time step each healthy…

Multilayer networks provide a more comprehensive framework for exploring real-world and engineering systems than traditional single-layer networks, consisting of multiple interacting networks. However, despite significant research in…

The design of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) faces various new challenges that are unheard of in the design of classical real-time systems. Power optimization is one of the major design goals that is witnessing such new challenges. The…

This work develops the concept of temporal network epistemology model enabling the simulation of the learning process in dynamic networks. The results of the research, conducted on the temporal social network generated using the CogSNet…

This note considers the constrained H-infinity consensus of multi-agent networks with nonidentical constraint sets. An improved distributed algorithm is adopted and a nonlinear controlled output function is defined to evaluate the effect of…

In this paper, we consider lightweight decentralised algorithms for achieving consensus in distributed systems. Each member of a distributed group has a private value from a fixed set consisting of, say, two elements, and the goal is for…

The consensus problem, briefly stated, consists of having processes in an asynchronous distributed system agree on a value. It is widely known that the consensus problem does not have a deterministic solution that ensures both termination…

In this paper we propose and analyze a distributed algorithm for achieving globally optimal decisions, either estimation or detection, through a self-synchronization mechanism among linearly coupled integrators initialized with local…

In this paper, we study the continuous-time consensus problem in the presence of adversaries. The networked multi-agent system is modeled as a switched system, where the normal agents have integrator dynamics and the switching signal…

Functional networks of complex systems are obtained from the analysis of the temporal activity of their components, and are often used to infer their unknown underlying connectivity. We obtain the equations relating topology and function in…

This paper is concerned with the study of synchronization and consensus phenomena in complex networks of diffusively-coupled nodes subject to external disturbances. Specifically, we make use of stochastic Lyapunov functions to provide…

The aim of this paper is to present the technique (and its linkage with physics) of overcoming problems connected to modeling social structures, which are typically hierarchical. Hierarchical Linear Models provide a conceptual and…

This paper presents a finite-time heterogeneous cyclic pursuit scheme that ensures consensus among agents modelled as integrators. It is shown that for the proposed sliding mode control, even when the gains corresponding to each agent are…

The leader-following consensus problem for multiple Euler-Lagrange systems was studied recently by the adaptive distributed observer approach under the assumptions that the leader system is neurally stable and the communication network is…

This technical note addresses the distributed fixed-time consensus protocol design problem for multi-agent systems with general linear dynamics over directed communication graphs. By using motion planning approaches, a class of distributed…

In this paper, the optimal consensus problem for general nonlinear multi-agent systems is studied, where both leaderless and leader-follower cases are considered in a unified framework. The key idea is to convert consensus problems into…

This paper presents a novel leaderless protocol (FPC-BI: Fast Probabilistic Consensus within Byzantine Infrastructures) with a low communicational complexity and which allows a set of nodes to come to a consensus on a value of a single bit.…

The non-consensus problems of high order linear time-invariant dynamical homogeneous multi-agent systems are concerned. Based on the conditions of consensus achievement, the mechanisms that lead to non-consensus motions are analyzed.…
