Distributed estimation of algebraic connectivity of directed networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In directed network, algebraic connectivity is defined as the second smallest eigenvalue of graph Laplacian, and it captures the most conservative estimate of convergence rate and synchronicity of networked systems. In this paper, distributed estimation of algebraic connectivity of directed and connected graphs is studied using a decentralized power iteration scheme. Specifically, the proposed scheme is introduced in discrete time domain in order to take advantage of the discretized nature of information flow among networked systems and it shows that, with the knowledge of the first left eigenvector associated with trivial eigenvalue of graph Laplacian, distributed estimation of algebraic connectivity becomes possible. Moreover, it is revealed that the proposed estimation scheme still performs in estimating the complex eigenvalues. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Distributed Connectivity Assessment of Asymmetric Networks
The problem of connectivity assessment of an asymmetric network represented by a weighted directed graph is investigated in this paper. The notion of generalized algebraic connectivity is introduced for this type of network as an extension of conventional algebraic connectivity measure for symmetric networks. This new notion represents the expected asymptotic convergence rate of a continuous-ti...
متن کاملENERGY AWARE DISTRIBUTED PARTITIONING DETECTION AND CONNECTIVITY RESTORATION ALGORITHM IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
Mobile sensor networks rely heavily on inter-sensor connectivity for collection of data. Nodes in these networks monitor different regions of an area of interest and collectively present a global overview of some monitored activities or phenomena. A failure of a sensor leads to loss of connectivity and may cause partitioning of the network into disjoint segments. A number of approaches have be...

This paper addresses the problem of how to achieve superior performance by adaptively and distributively adjusting control gains of a cooperative control system. It is shown that according to distributed observations of changing network topologies and on the basis of online estimation of network connectivity, cooperative controls with adaptive gains can be synthesized to making the time derivat...

متن کاملA Robust Distributed Estimation Algorithm under Alpha-Stable Noise Condition
Robust adaptive estimation of unknown parameter has been an important issue in recent years for reliable operation in the distributed networks. The conventional adaptive estimation algorithms that rely on mean square error (MSE) criterion exhibit good performance in the presence of Gaussian noise, but their performance drastically decreases under impulsive noise. In this paper, we propose a rob...
