Consensus Protocols for Undirected Networks of Dynamic Agents with Communication Time-Delays
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce linear and nonlinear consensus protocols for networks of dynamic agents that allow the agents to agree in a distributed and cooperative fashion. We consider the cases of networks with communication time-delays and channels that have filtering effects. We find a tight upper bound on the maximum fixed time-delay that can be tolerated in the network. It turns out that the connectivity of the network is the key in reaching a consensus. The case of agreement with bounded inputs is considered by analyzing the convergence of a class of nonlinear protocols. A Lyapunov function is introduced that quantifies the total disagreement among the nodes of a network. Simulation results are provided for agreement in networks with communication time-delays and constrained inputs.

A new virtual leader-following consensus protocol to internal and string stability analysis of longitudinal platoon of vehicles with generic network topology under communication and parasitic delays
In this paper, a new virtual leader following consensus protocol is introduced to perform the internal and string stability analysis of longitudinal platoon of vehicles under generic network topology. In all previous studies on multi-agent systems with generic network topology, the control parameters are strictly dependent on eigenvalues of network matrices (adjacency or Laplacian). Since some ...
متن کاملSynchronization for Complex Dynamic Networks with State and Coupling Time-Delays
This paper is concerned with the problem of synchronization for complex dynamic networks with state and coupling time-delays. Therefore, larger class and more complicated complex dynamic networks can be considered for the synchronization problem. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a delay-independent criterion is obtained and formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs)...
متن کاملDistributed Consensus of Linear Multi-Agent Systems with Adaptive Dynamic Protocols
This paper considers the distributed consensus problem of multi-agent systems with general continuous-time linear dynamics. Two distributed adaptive dynamic consensus protocols are proposed, based on the relative output information of neighboring agents. One protocol assigns an adaptive coupling weight to each edge in the communication graph while the other uses an adaptive coupling weight for ...
متن کاملNon-linear protocols for optimal distributed consensus in networks of dynamic agents
We consider stationary consensus protocols for networks of dynamic agents with fixed topologies. At each time instant, each agent knows only its and its neighbors’ state, but must reach consensus on a group decision value that is function of all the agents’ initial state. We show that the agents can reach consensus if the value of such a function is time-invariant when computed over the agents’...
