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…

This paper studies the consensus problem for multiagent systems with transmission constraints. A novel model of multiagent systems is proposed where the information transmissions between agents are disturbed by irregular distortions or…

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, for any homogeneous system of agents with linear continuous time dynamics, we formulate an optimal control problem. In this problem a convex cost functional of the control signals of the agents shall be minimized, while the…

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…

In this paper, the fast consensus problem of high-order multi-agent systems under undirected topologies is considered. The direct link between the consensus convergence rate and the control gains is established. An accelerated consensus…

In this paper, we consider a leader-following consensus problem of a group of autonomous agents with time-varying coupling delays. Two different cases of coupling topologies are investigated. At first, a necessary and sufficient condition…

Adaptive guaranteed-performance consensus control problems for multi-agent systems are investigated, where the adjustable convergence speed is discussed. This paper firstly proposes a novel adaptive guaranteed-performance consensus…

This paper is concerned with the consensus problem for multi-agent systems subject to communication delays between the neighboring agents. We consider a scenario where each agent is characterized by a general high-order linear system and…

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.…

In this paper, robust finite-time consensus of a group of nonlinear multi-agent systems in the presence of communication time delays is considered. In particular, appropriate delay-dependent strategies which are less conservative are…

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…

Distributed averaging of agent initial conditions is a well-studied problem in context of networked systems where coordination amongst the agents is of paramount importance. The asymptotic nature of convergence of distributed averaging…

This paper investigates the fixed-time consensus problem under directed topologies. By using a motion-planning approach, a class of distributed fixed-time algorithms are developed for a multi-agent system with double-integrator dynamics. In…

In this paper, we formulate and solve a randomized optimal consensus problem for multi-agent systems with stochastically time-varying interconnection topology. The considered multi-agent system with a simple randomized iterating rule…

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.…

In this chapter we look at one of the canonical driving examples for multi-agent systems: average consensus. In this scenario, a group of agents seek to agree on the average of their initial states. Depending on the particular application,…

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…

We consider a multi-agent system where each agent has its own estimate of a given quantity and the goal is to reach consensus on the average. To this purpose, we propose a distributed consensus algorithm that guarantees convergence to the…

In this technical note we address the problem of achieving consensus in a network of homogeneous nonlinear systems. The communication network is supposed to be switching within a finite set of topologies which may be disconnected for finite…
