Abstract :
We consider the agreement problem over random information networks. In a random network, the existence of an information channel between a pair of units at each time instance is probabilistic and independent of other channels; hence, the topology of the network varies over time. In such a framework, we address the asymptotic agreement for the networked units via notions from stochastic stability. Furthermore, we delineate on the rate of convergence as it relates to the algebraic connectivity of random graphs.
