[HTML][HTML] An overview of structural systems theory

G Ramos, AP Aguiar, S Pequito - Automatica, 2022 - Elsevier
This paper provides an overview of the research conducted in the context of structural (or
structured) systems. These are parametrized models used to assess and design system …

Protocols design and uncontrollable topologies construction for multi-agent networks

Z Ji, H Lin, H Yu - IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2014 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This note investigates the controllability issues of multi-agent systems, where each node
contains generic linear dynamics. First, a neighbor-based control protocol is proposed …

Structural systems theory: an overview of the last 15 years

G Ramos, AP Aguiar, S Pequito - arXiv preprint arXiv:2008.11223, 2020 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we provide an overview of the research conducted in the context of structural
systems since the latest survey by Dion et al. in 2003. We systematically consider all the …

Leader localization in multi-agent systems subject to failure: A graph-theoretic approach

S Jafari, A Ajorlou, AG Aghdam - Automatica, 2011 - Elsevier
In this paper, structural controllability of a leader–follower multi-agent system with multiple
leaders is studied. A graphical condition for structural controllability based on the information …

Structural controllability of multi-agent systems with absolute protocol under fixed and switching topologies

Y Guan, L Wang - Science China Information Sciences, 2017 - Springer
The paper investigates the structural controllability of leader-follower multi-agent systems
under fixed and switching topologies. Three models of agents: double-integrator, high-order …

Controllability analysis of multi-agent systems with directed and weighted interconnection

Y Lou, Y Hong - International Journal of Control, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
In this article, we investigate the controllability of multi-agent systems with leaders as control
inputs, where the interconnection is directed and weighted. We employ weight-balanced …

Controllability of formations over directed time-varying graphs

X Chen, MA Belabbas, T Başar - IEEE Transactions on Control …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we investigate the controllability of a class of formation control systems. Given
a directed graph, we assign an agent to each of its vertices and let the edges of the graph …

Controllability of discrete-time multi-agent systems based on absolute protocol with time-delays

B Liu, Y Ping, L Wu, H Su - Neurocomputing, 2020 - Elsevier
This paper investigates complete controllability and structural controllability of discrete-time
multi-agent systems (MASs) under a leader-follower framework with time-delays based on …

Structural controllability of a consensus network with multiple leaders

MK Mehrabadi, M Zamani… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper examines the structural controllability for a group of agents, called followers,
connected to each other based on the consensus law under commands of multiple leaders …

On the weight controllability of consensus algorithms

D Goldin, J Raisch - 2013 European Control Conference (ECC), 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper we consider controllability of leader-follower networks running a consensus
algorithm. We allow the communication links between the agents to be weighted and give …
