In recent years, we have observed a significant trend towards filling the gap between social
network analysis and control. This trend was enabled by the introduction of new …

In a consensus protocol an agreement among agents is achieved thanks to the collaborative
efforts of all agents, expresses by a communication graph with nonnegative weights. The …

We consider continuous-time consensus seeking systems whose time-dependent
interactions are cut-balanced, in the following sense: if a group of agents influences the …

The paper deals with the convergence properties of the products of random (row-) stochastic
matrices. The limiting behavior of such products is studied from a dynamical system point of …

Many multi-agent control algorithms and dynamic agent-based models arising in natural and
social sciences are based on the principle of iterative averaging. Each agent is associated to …

We study opinion dynamics systems controlled by a leader. Following findings from
experimental social psychology, the influence weights considered here have the peculiarity …

Opinion evolution and judgment revision are mediated through social influence. Based on a
large crowdsourced in vitro experiment (n= 861), it is shown how a consensus model can be …

In multi-autonomous underwater vehicle (multi-AUV) systems, the convergence rate is
characterized by the pace of consistency of the key state information for each member. The …

Consensus in heterogeneous networks containing both linear and linear impulsive
dynamics is considered in this paper. The model applies for networks of interconnected …

We consider continuous-time consensus systems whose interactions satisfy a form of
reciprocity that is not instantaneous, but happens over time. We show that these systems …
