Analysis and stability of consensus in networked control systems

摘要: Abstract In this paper, the consensus problem in networks of integrators is investigated. After recalling classical diffusive protocol, we present a unified framework some results on rate convergence previously presented literature. Then, introduce two switching communication protocols, one based coupling law between neighboring nodes, other conditional activation links network. We show that former protocol induces monotonicity each system network, enhancing speed to consensus. Moreover, adopting novel are able control steering nodes’ dynamics desired value. The aim latter instead select adaptively edges accordance with showing effectiveness both approaches through numerical simulations, stability properties these protocols discussed.
