A Discrete Nonlinear and Non–autonomous Model of Consensus Formation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Consensus formation among n experts is modeled as a positive discrete dynamical system in n dimensions. The well–known linear but non–autonomous model is extended to a nonlinear one admitting also various kinds of averaging beside the weighted arithmetic mean. For this model a sufficient condition for reaching a consensus is presented. As a special case consensus formation under bounded confidence is analyzed.

A class of multi-agent discrete hybrid non linearizable systems: Optimal controller design based on quasi-Newton algorithm for a class of sign-undefinite hessian cost functions
In the present paper, a class of hybrid, nonlinear and non linearizable dynamic systems is considered. The noted dynamic system is generalized to a multi-agent configuration. The interaction of agents is presented based on graph theory and finally, an interaction tensor defines the multi-agent system in leader-follower consensus in order to design a desirable controller for the noted system. A...
متن کاملRobust Model Predictive Control for a Class of Discrete Nonlinear systems
This paper presents a robust model predictive control scheme for a class of discrete-time nonlinear systems subject to state and input constraints. Each subsystem is composed of a nominal LTI part and an additive uncertain non-linear time-varying function which satisfies a quadratic constraint. Using the dual-mode MPC stability theory, a sufficient condition is constructed for synthesizing the ...

This paper is concerned with the consensus tracking problem of high order MIMO nonlinear multi-agent systems. The agents must follow a leader node in presence of unknown dynamics and uncertain external disturbances. The communication network topology of agents is assumed to be a fixed undirected graph.

متن کاملOutput Consensus Control of Nonlinear Non-minimum Phase Multi-agent Systems Using Output Redefinition Method
This paper concerns the problem of output consensus in nonlinear non-minimum phase systems. The main contribution of the paper is to guarantee achieving consensus in the presence of unstable zero dynamics. To achieve this goal, an output redefinition method is proposed. The new outputs of agents are functions of original outputs and internal states and defined such that the dynamics of agents a...
