PDE-based deployment of multiagents measuring relative position to one neighbor

A Selivanov, E Fridman - IEEE Control Systems Letters, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We develop a PDE-based approach to multi-agent deployment where each agent measures
its relative position to only one neighbor. First, we show that such systems can be modeled …
