State consensus for multi-agent systems with switching topologies and time-varying delays
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate state consensus problems for discrete-time multi-agent systems with changing communications topologies and bounded time-varying communication delays. The analysis in this paper is based on the properties of non-negative matrices. We first extend the model of networks of dynamic agents to the case with multiple time-delays and prove that if the communication topology, time-delays, and weighting factors are time-invariant, then the necessary and sufficient condition that the multi-agent system solves a consensus problem is that the communication topology, represented by a directed graph, has spanning trees. Then we allow for dynamically changing communication topologies and bounded time-varying communication delays, and present some sufficient conditions for state consensus of system. Finally, as a special case of our model, the problem of asynchronous information exchange is also discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
