Multi-agent coordination in directed moving neighbourhood random networks

Multi-agent Coordination in Directed Moving Neighborhood Random Networks

In this paper, we consider the consensus problem of dynamical multiple agents that communicate via a directed moving neighborhood random network. Each agent performs random walk on a weighted directed network. Agents interact with each other through random unidirectional information flow when they coincide in the underlying network at a given instant. For such a framework, we present sufficient...

Motion Coordination for Multi-agent Networks

Performance of leader-follower multi-agent systems in directed networks

We consider the leader-follower multiagent systems in which the leader executes the desired trajectory and the followers implement the consensus algorithm subject to stochastic disturbances. The performance of the leader-follower systems is quantified by using the steady-state variance of the deviation of followers from the leader. We study the asymptotic scaling of the variance in directed lat...

Integrated Multi- Agent Coordination

Much work in multi-agent systems focuses on coordinating the activities of agents so that the end result approximates the solutions possible if one were to centralize the activities being carried out by these agents. Research into coordination has taken different forms: negotiation, scheduling, planning, organizational approaches, etc. Multi-agent coordination, defined as managing inter-depende...

Hierarchy in directed random networks.

In recent years, the theory and application of complex networks have been quickly developing in a markable way due to the increasing amount of data from real systems and the fruitful application of powerful methods used in statistical physics. Many important characteristics of social or biological systems can be described by the study of their underlying structure of interactions. Hierarchy is ...
