Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Consensusability of Linear Multi-Agent Systems
Abstract
Consensusability of multi-agent systems (MASs) is a fundamental problem in the MAS research area, since when starting to design a consensus protocol, one should know whether or not there exists such a protocol that has the ability to make the MAS involved consensus. This technical note is aimed at studying the joint impact of the agent dynamic structure and the communication topology on consensusability. For the MASs with fixed topology and agents described by linear time-invariant systems, a necessary condition of consensusability with respect to a set of admissible consensus protocols is given, which is shown, under some mild conditions, to be necessary and sufficient.

“The consensus protocol for each agent in MASs is distributed ([3]) and only depends on the information of the agent itself and its neighbors, since each agent has limited capability of collecting information.”

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.
