Continuous-Time Consensus under Persistent Connectivity and Slow Divergence of Reciprocal Interaction Weights
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we develop 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. Persistent connectivity can be considered as the counterpart of the notion of ultimate connectivity used in discrete-time consensus protocols. Slow divergence of reciprocal interaction weights generalizes the case on uniformly bounded weights on weakly symmetric graphs. We show that under these two new assumptions, the continuous-time consensus protocol succeeds: the states of all the agents converge asymptotically to a common value. We also provide two examples that make us think that both of our assumptions are tight.

Persistent Flows and Non-Reciprocal Interactions in Deterministic Networks
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 weight function has an infinite l1 norm. We discuss two balance conditions on the interactions between agents which generalize the arc-balance and cut-balance co...
متن کاملContinuous-time quantized consensus: convergence of Krasowskii solutions
This note studies a network of agents having continuous-time dynamics with quantized interactions and time-varying directed topology. Due to the discontinuity of the dynamics, solutions of the resulting ODE system are intended in the sense of Krasovskii. A limit connectivity graph is defined, which encodes persistent interactions between nodes: if such graph has a globally reachable node, Kraso...

متن کاملRobust Consensus for Continuous-Time Multiagent Dynamics
This paper investigates consensus problems for continuous-time multiagent systems with time-varying communication graphs subject to input noise. Based on input-to-state stability and integral input-to-state stability, robust consensus and integral robust consensus are defined with respect to L∞ and L1 norms of the noise function, respectively. Sufficient and/or necessary connectivity conditions...
متن کاملOptimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear multi-agent systems: Known and unknown dynamics
In this paper, the optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear continuous time multi-agent systems is considered. The error dynamics of each player depends on its neighbors’ information. Detailed analysis of online optimal leader-follower consensus under known and unknown dynamics is presented. The introduced reinforcement learning-based algorithms learn online the approximate solution...
