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…
This paper addresses the adaptive consensus problem in uncertain multi-agent systems, particularly under challenges posed by quantized communication. We consider agents with general linear dynamics subject to nonlinear uncertainties and…
Group consensus implies reaching multiple groups where agents belonging to the same cluster reach state consensus. This paper focuses on linear multi-agent systems under nonnegative directed graphs. A new necessary and sufficient condition…
In this paper, we consider the output synchronization problem for a network of heterogeneous diffusively-coupled nonlinear agents. Specifically, we show how the (non-identical) agents can be controlled in such a way that their outputs…
Motivated by current sharing in power networks, we consider a class of output consensus (also called agreement) problems for nonlinear systems, where the consensus value is determined by external disturbances, e.g., power demand. This…
Distributed dynamic compensators, also known as distributed observer, play a key role in the output consensus problem of heterogeneous nonlinear multi-agent systems. However, most existing distributed dynamic compensators require either the…
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…
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 analyse the solutions of networked heterogeneous nonlinear systems. We assume that the closed-loop interconnected systems form a network with an underlying connected directed graph that contains a directed spanning tree. For these…
This paper revisits the problem of multi-agent consensus from a graph signal processing perspective. By defining the graph filter from the consensus protocol, we establish the direct relation between average consensus of multi-agent systems…
In this paper, a novel two-level framework was proposed and applied to solve the output average consensus problem over heterogeneous multi-agent systems. This approach is mainly based on the recent technique of system abstraction. For given…
This paper focuses on analyzing the finite-time convergence of a nonlinear consensus algorithm for multi-agent networks with unknown inherent nonlinear dynamics. Due to the existence of the unknown inherent nonlinear dynamics, the stability…
This article investigates discrete-time matrix-weighted consensus of multi-agent networks over undirected and connected graphs. We first present consensus protocols for the agents in common networks of symmetric matrix weights with possibly…
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…
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.…

A solution is provided in this note for the adaptive consensus problem of nonlinear multi-agent systems with unknown and non-identical control directions assuming a strongly connected underlying graph topology. This is achieved with the…
In this note, we discuss the problem of consensus finding in communication networks of agents with dynamically switching topologies. In particular, we consider the case of directed networks with unbalanced matrices of communication rates.…
