Consensus in Multi-Agent Systems With Coupling Delays and Switching Topology

Munz, Ulrich, Papachristodoulou, Antonis, Allgower, Frank·2011·IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control

Abstract

The robustness of consensus in single integrator multi-agent systems (MAS) to coupling delays and switching topologies is investigated. It is shown that consensus is reached for arbitrarily large constant, time-varying, or distributed delays if consensus is reached without delays. This delay robustness holds under the weakest possible connectivity assumptions on the underlying graph, i.e., as long as the graph is uniformly quasi-strongly connected and switches with a dwell-time. The proof is based on a contraction argument and allows to remove technical assumptions that were used in previous publications. Moreover, the result also applies to non-scalar single integrators, an important extension toward consensus and rendezvous in higher dimensions.

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.
