We study a discrete-time consensus model in which agents iteratively update their states through interactions on a dynamic social network. At each step, a single agent is selected asynchronously and averages the values of its current…

In this manuscript, we introduce and study a variant of the agent-based opinion dynamics proposed in a recent work [8], within the framework of an interacting multi-agent system, where agents are assumed to interact with each other and…

Scrambling of information in a quantum many-body system, quantified by the out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC), is a key manifestation of quantum chaos. A regime of exponential growth in the OTOC, characterized by a Lyapunov exponent, has…

Multi-agent systems (MAS) composed of large language models often exhibit improved problem-solving performance despite operating on identical information. In this work, we provide a formal explanation for this phenomenon grounded in…

The paper considers the problem of multi-agent consensus in the presence of adversarial agents which may try to prevent and introduce undesired influence on the coordination among the regular agents. To our setting, we extend the so-called…

We study a simple but compelling model of $n$ interacting agents via time-dependent, unidirectional communication. The model finds wide application in a variety of fields including synchronization, swarming and distributed decision making.…

In this paper, we introduce a novel adaptation of the Raft consensus algorithm for achieving emergent formation control in multi-agent systems with a single integrator dynamics. This strategy, dubbed "Rafting," enables robust cooperation…

We present a multi-agent algorithm for multi-objective optimization problems, which extends the class of consensus-based optimization methods and relies on a scalarization strategy. The optimization is achieved by a set of interacting…

Generalized from the concept of consensus, this paper considers a group of edge agreements, i.e. constraints defined for neighboring agents, in which each pair of neighboring agents is required to satisfy one edge agreement constraint. Edge…

In this paper, we investigate consensus control of fractional-order multi-agent systems with order in (0,1) via sampled-data control. A new scheme to design distributed controllers with rigorous analysis is presented by utilizing the unique…

We present an extensive study of the joint effects of heterogeneous social agents and their heterogeneous social links in a bounded confidence opinion dynamics model. The full phase diagram of the model is explored for two different…

We consider open multi-agent systems. Unlike the systems usually studied in the literature, here agents may join or leave while the process studied takes place. The system composition and size evolve thus with time. We focus here on systems…

Drawing inspiration from the theory of linear "decomposable systems", we provide a method, based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which makes it possible to prove the convergence (or consensus) of a set of interacting agents with…

In this two-part paper, we consider multicomponent systems in which each component can iteratively exchange information with other components in its neighborhood in order to compute, in a distributed fashion, the average of the components'…

We show how graphons can be used to model and analyze open multi-agent systems, which are multi-agent systems subject to arrivals and departures, in the specific case of linear consensus. First, we analyze the case of replacements, where…

In majority dynamics, agents located at the vertices of an undirected simple graph update their binary opinions synchronously by adopting those of the majority of their neighbors. On infinite unimodular transitive graphs (e.g., Cayley…

This report surveys results on distributed systems comprising mobile agents that are identical and anonymous, oblivious and interact solely by adjusting their motion according to the relative location of their neighbours. The agents are…

This paper concerns the consensus of discrete-time multi-agent systems with linear or linearized dynamics. An observer-type protocol based on the relative outputs of neighboring agents is proposed. The consensus of such a multi-agent system…

The leader-following consensus problem for general linear multi-agent systems over jointly connected switching networks has been a challenging problem and the solvability of the problem has been limited to the class of linear multi-agent…

We introduce a framework for reaching a consensus amongst several agents communicating via a trust network on conflicting information about their environment. We formalise our approach and provide an empirical and theoretical analysis of…
