Proliferation of low-cost, lightweight, and power efficient sensors and advances in networked
systems enable the employment of multiple sensors. Distributed estimation provides a …

The term “ranging” is often used to indicate the operations that make it possible to estimate
the distance between two nodes by processing some signals generated and/or received by …

Topics These lecture notes are intended primarily for graduate students interested in
network systems, distributed algorithms, and cooperative control. The objective is to answer …

In this chapter we present a popular class of distributed algorithms, known as linear
consensus algorithms, which have the ability to compute the global average of local …

Growing progress in sensor technology has constantly expanded the number and range of
low-cost, small, and portable sensors on the market, increasing the number and type of …

The increasing use of low-cost sensors in monitoring the surrounding environment requires
efficient handling of sensor drift and sensor errors. Therefore, there is a pressing need to …

Two asynchronous distributed algorithms are presented for solving a linear equation of the
form Ax= b with at least one solution. The equation is simultaneously and asynchronously …

Algorithms and dynamics over networks often involve randomization and randomization can
induce oscillating dynamics that fail to converge in a deterministic sense. Under …

This book deals with averaging dynamics, a paradigmatic example of network based
dynamics in multi-agent systems. The book presents all the fundamental results on linear …

We study the problem of unconstrained distributed optimization in the context of multi-agents
systems subject to limited communication connectivity. In particular we focus on the …
