Active-passive multiagent systems consist of agents subject to inputs (active agents) and agents with no inputs (passive agents), where active and passive agent roles are considered to be interchangeable in order to capture a wide array of…

In this paper, we study the robust consensus problem for a set of discrete-time linear agents to coordinate over an uncertain communication network, which is to achieve consensus against the transmission errors and noises resulted from the…

This paper addresses the distributed consensus problem for a linear multi-agent system with switching directed communication topologies. By appropriately introducing a linear transformation, the consensus problem is equivalently converted…

This paper investigates a new class of linear multi-agent network systems, in which nodes are coupled by dynamic edges in the sense that each edge has a dynamic system attached as well. The outputs of the edge dynamic systems form the…

In this paper we investigate the problem of the sudden disconnection of an edge in a discrete-time multi-agent consensus network. If the graph remains strongly connected, the multi-agent system still achieves consensus, but in general,…

A proper abstraction of a large-scale linear consensus network with a dense coupling graph is one whose number of coupling links is proportional to its number of subsystems and its performance is comparable to the original network. Optimal…

In this paper, we will discuss how operational limitations affect input-output behaviours of the system. In particular, we will provide formulations for passivity and passivity indices of a nonlinear system given operational limitations on…

In this paper, we consider the cooperative output regulation problem for heterogeneous linear multi-agent systems in the presence of communication constraints. Under standard assumptions on the agents dynamics, we propose a distributed…

In this paper, we consider the consensus problem of switched multi-agent system composed of continuous-time and discrete-time subsystems. By combining the classical consensus protocols of continuous-time and discrete-time multi-agent…

This paper presents conditions for establishing topological controllability in undirected networks of diffusively coupled agents. Specifically, controllability is considered based on the signs of the edges (negative, positive or zero). Our…

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 we study a discrete time consensus model on a connected graph with monotonically increasing peer-pressure and noise perturbed outputs masking a hidden state. We assume that each agent maintains a constant hidden state and a…

This paper studies the problem of frequency regulation in power grids under unknown and possible time-varying load changes, while minimizing the generation costs. We formulate this problem as an output agreement problem for distribution…

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…

In this paper, we propose a new and systematic design framework for output consensus in heterogeneous Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) general nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) subjected to directed communication topology. First, the…

Multiagent systems consist of agents that locally exchange information through a physical network subject to a graph topology. Current control methods for networked multiagent systems assume the knowledge of graph topologies in order to…

The existing result on the cooperative output regulation problem for unknown linear multi-agent systems using a data-driven distributed internal model approach is limited to the case where each follower is a single-input and single-output…

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…

In this paper, we design an optimal energy cost controller for linear systems asymptotic consensus given the topology of the graph. The controller depends only on relative information of the agents. Since finding the control gain for such…

Efforts in this paper seek to combine graph theory with adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) as a reinforcement learning (RL) framework to determine forward-in-time, real-time, approximate optimal controllers for distributed multi-agent…
