  • Abstract
    In this paper, we consider the situation where a collection of leaders dictate the motion of the followers in heterogenous multi-agent applications. In particular, the followers move according to a decentralized averaging rule, while the leaders´ motion is unconstrained. Thus, the trajectories of the leaders can be viewed as exogenous control inputs, which allows us to state and study questions concerning controllability and optimal control
