We consider multi-agent systems with cooperative interactions and study the convergence to consensus in the case of time-dependent connections, with possible communication failure. We prove a new condition ensuring consensus: we define a…

A new theorem on conditions for convergence to consensus of a multiagent time-dependent time-discrete dynamical system is presented. The theorem is build up on the notion of averaging maps. We compare this theorem to results by Moreau (IEEE…

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.…

The paper presents a result which relates connectedness of the interaction graphs in a multi-agent systems with the capability for global convergence to a common equilibrium of the system. In particular we extend a previously known result…

This paper investigates the problem of securing exponentially fast consensus (exponential consensus for short) for identical agents with finite-dimensional linear system dynamics over dynamic network topology. Our aim is to find the weakest…

We study continuous-time consensus dynamics for multi-agent systems with undirected switching interaction graphs. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for exponential asymptotic consensus based on the classical theory of…

In this paper, we present new results on consensus for continuous-time multi- agent systems. We introduce the assumptions of persistent connectivity of the interaction graph and of slow divergence of reciprocal interaction weights.…

We present two main theorems along the lines of Lyapunov's second method that guarantee asymptotic state consensus in multi-agent systems of agents in R^m with switching interconnection topologies. The two theorems complement each other in…

This paper studies a consensus problem in multidimensional networks having the same agent-to-agent interaction pattern under both intra- and cross-layer time delays. Several conditions for the agents to asymptotically reach a consensus are…

For networked systems, Persistent Excitation and Integral Scrambling Condition are conditions ensuring that communication failures between agents can occur, but a minimal level of service is ensured. We consider cooperative multi-agent…

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 prove that a first-order cooperative system of interacting agents converges to consensus if the so-called Persistence Excitation condition holds. This condition requires that the interaction function between any pair of agents satisfies…

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,…

This paper investigates agreement protocols over cooperative and cooperative--antagonistic multi-agent networks with coupled continuous-time nonlinear dynamics. To guarantee convergence for such systems, it is common in the literature to…

In this paper, we study a convergence condition for asynchronous consensus problems in multi-agent systems. The convergence in this context implies the asynchronous consensus value converges to the synchronous one and is unique. Although it…

In this article, we establish exponential contraction results for the diameter and variance of general first-order multiagent systems. Our approach is based on compactification techniques, and works under rather mild assumptions. Namely, we…

We consider continuous-time consensus seeking systems whose time-dependent interactions are cut-balanced, in the following sense: if a group of agents influences the remaining ones, the former group is also influenced by the remaining ones…

In this paper, we study the consensus problem for continuous-time and discrete-time multi-agent systems in state-dependent switching networks. In each case, we first consider the networks with fixed connectivity, in which the communication…

This paper studies deterministic consensus networks with discrete-time dynamics under persistent flows and non-reciprocal agent interactions. An arc describing the interaction strength between two agents is said to be persistent if its…

The constrained consensus problem considered in this paper, denoted interval consensus, is characterized by the fact that each agent can impose a lower and upper bound on the achievable consensus value. Such constraints can be encoded in…
