Measuring Global Behaviour of Multi-agent Systems from Pair-Wise Mutual Information

چکیده
In this paper we present a method for finding general dependencies between individual agents in a multi-agent system. We use mutual information as the general measure for dependence and demonstrate how it can be used to estimate pair-wise coupling in a 2 dimensional swarm. We then show that our technique of measuring local coupling can find phase transitions in the global behaviour of the system.

Variable Structure Behavioural Controller for Multi-agent Systems
In previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. Application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. The controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main is...
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...

This study recommends a GIS-based (Geographic Information Systems) and multi-criteria evaluation for site selection of gas power plant in Natanz City of Iran. The multi-criteria decision framework integrates legal requirements and physical constraints related to environmental and economic concerns. It also builds a hierarchy model for gas power plant suitability. The methodologies used for site...
متن کاملNew Multi-Dimensional Mapping for MIMO-BICM-ID Systems
In this paper, Bit Interleaved Coded Modulation systems with Iterative Decoding (BICM-ID) for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) channel are considered. Based on minimizing pair-wise error probability, a design criterion is proposed to find the optimal multi-dimensional constellation mapping for a MIMO-BICM-ID system. Using the design criterion and employing the Binary Switching Algorithm, s...
متن کاملFuzzy Linear Programming Method for Deriving Priorities in the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process
There are various methods for obtaining the preference vector of pair-wise comparison matrix factors. These methods can be employed when the elements of pair-wise comparison matrix are crisp while they are inefficient for fuzzy elements of pair-wise comparison matrix. In this paper, a method is proposed by which the preference vector of pair-wise comparison matrix elements can be obtained even ...
