Handling Editor: Stephanie Castro Weexamined follower relational identificationwith the leader as amediator and follower perceptions of leader creativity expectations as amoderator in the relationship between transformational leadership and follower creativity. Using a sample of 420 leader–follower dyads from an energy company in mainland China, we found that follower relational identification ...

Abstract We study in this paper a semi-global leader-following output consensus problem for multiple heterogeneous linear systems the presence of actuator position and rate saturation over directed topology. For each follower, via low gain feedback design technique regulation theory, both state protocol an are constructed. In case, different distributed observers designed informed followers uni...

This paper discusses the tracking coordination of a linear switched reluctance machine (LSRM) network based on a global feedback control strategy with a full-state observation framework. The observer is allocated on the follower instead of the leader to form a leader–follower–observer network, by utilizing the leader as the global feedback tracking controller and the observer as the observation...

In this paper we study formation control of a network of communicating mobile agents with double integrator dynamics. All agents run a consensus algorithm, several leader agents are further subject to an external input. We put this problem in a control theoretical framework and show that the controllability of the entire system via external control input depends only on the controllability of t...

in this paper, the important formation control problem of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots is investigated via a leader-follower strategy. to this end, the dynamics model of the considered wheeled mobile robot is derived using lagrange equations of motion. then, using adams multi-body simulation software, the obtained dynamics of the wheeled system in matlab software is verified. after that, ...

Modern large-scale data stores widely adopt consensus protocols to achieve high availability and throughput. The recently proposed Raft algorithm has better understandability and widely implemented in large amount of open source projects. In these consensus algorithms including Raft, log replication is a common and frequently used operation which has significant impact on the system performance...

The findings from this cross-sectional study on 27 corporate employees reveal relationships between leader and follower leadership behaviors and follower identity with the leader. A positive relationship was found between the leaders’ follower-centered leadership and followers’ follower-centered leadership, and the leaders’ capable manager leadership and followers’ capable manager leadership. F...

This paper examines the structural controllability for a group of agents, called followers, connected to each other based on the consensus law under commands of multiple leaders, which are agents with superior capabilities, over a fixed communication topology. It is proved that the graph-theoretic sufficient and necessary condition for the set of followers to be structurally controllable under ...

We consider the leader selection problem in a network with consensus dynamics where both leader and follower agents are subject to stochastic external disturbances. The performance of the system is quantified by the total steadystate variance of the node states, and the goal is to identify the set of leaders that minimizes this variance. We first show that this performance measure can be expres...
