Multi-hop relay protocols for fast consensus seeking

Z Jin, RM Murray - Proceedings of the 45th IEEE Conference …, 2006 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Consensus protocols are distributed algorithms in networked multi-agent systems. Based on
the local information, agents automatically converge to a common consensus state and the …

Single-bit consensus with finite-time convergence: Theory and applications

M Doostmohammadian - IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this article, a new consensus protocol based on the sign of innovations is proposed.
Based on this protocol, each agent requires only a single-bit of information about its relative …

On communication requirements for multi-agent consensus seeking

L Fang, PJ Antsaklis - … Embedded Sensing and Control: Workshop NESC' …, 2006 - Springer
Several consensus protocols have been proposed in the literature and their convergence
properties studied via a variety of methods. In all these methods, the communication …

Fast consensus seeking on networks with antagonistic interactions

J Qu, Z Ji, C Lin, H Yu - Complexity, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
It is well known that all agents in a multiagent system can asymptotically converge to a
common value based on consensus protocols. Besides, the associated convergence rate …

Fast information sharing in networks of autonomous agents

F Xiao, L Wang, Y Jia - 2008 American Control Conference, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A new nonlinear protocol is proposed for state consensus of multi-agent systems in this
paper. It is shown that this protocol can provide faster convergence rate than the typical …

An anticipatory protocol to reach fast consensus in multi-agent systems

D Irofti - Automatica, 2020 - Elsevier
We introduce a new consensus protocol with delays for networks where the agents are
using past information to anticipate their neighbours' states. We consider directed and …

Consensus seeking for discrete-time multi-agent systems with communication delay

Z Wang, J Xu, H Zhang - IEEE/CAA Journal of Automatica …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper studies the consensus problem for discrete-time multi-agent systems of first-order
in the presence of constant communication delay. Provided that the agent dynamics is …

Finite-time consensus of multiagent systems with a switching protocol

X Liu, J Lam, W Yu, G Chen - IEEE transactions on neural …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we study the problem of finite-time consensus of multiagent systems on a fixed
directed interaction graph with a new protocol. Existing finite-time consensus protocols can …

Stability and convergence analysis of multi-agent consensus with information reuse

Z Meng, Y Cao, W Ren - International Journal of Control, 2010 - Taylor & Francis
In this article, we study multi-agent consensus algorithms with information reuse by
intentionally introducing the outdated state information into the traditional consensus …

Consensus and cooperation in networked multi-agent systems

R Olfati-Saber, JA Fax, RM Murray - Proceedings of the IEEE, 2007 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
