Uniform Consensus among Self-driven Particles
نویسنده
چکیده
A nonconservative stability theory for switched linear systems is applied to the convergence analysis of consensus algorithms in the discrete-time domain. It is shown that the uniform-joint-connectedness condition for asymptotic consensus in distributed asynchronous algorithms and multi-particle models is in fact necessary and sufficient for uniform exponential consensus.

Self-assembly of colloidal particles from evaporating droplets: role of DLVO interactions and proposition of a phase diagram.
The shape of deposits obtained from drying drops containing colloidal particles matters for technologies such as inkjet printing, microelectronics, and bioassay manufacturing. In this work, the formation of deposits during the drying of nanoliter drops containing colloidal particles is investigated experimentally with microscopy and profilometry, and theoretically with an in-house finite-elemen...
متن کاملVariable Structure Behavioural Controller for Multi-agent Systems
In previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. Application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. The controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main is...
متن کاملAccelerating consensus of self-driven swarm via adaptive speed
In resent years, Vicsek model has attracted extensive attention and been well developed. However, the in-depth analysis on convergent time are scarce thus far. In this paper, we study the factors that influence the convergent time of Vicsek model at zero temperature. Furthermore, to accelerate the convergence, we propose a new model in which the speed of each particle is variable. Convergent ti...
متن کاملHeterophilious Dynamics Enhances Consensus
We review a general class of models for self-organized dynamics based on alignment. The dynamics of such systems is governed solely by interactions among individuals or “agents”, with the tendency to adjust to their ‘environmental averages’. This, in turn, leads to the formation of clusters, e.g., colonies of ants, flocks of birds, parties of people, etc. A natural question which arises in this...

Background: Not much is known about correlates of HIV-related self-stigma among female sex workers. Using the theory of planned behavior in the Malaysian context, this study investigated the relationships of HIV knowledge, attitudes towards HIV, attitudes towards people living with HIV, perceived social support, self-esteem, and age with HIV-related self-stigma, also how much of the variance in...
