Abstract :
This paper develops a language-measure-theoretic distributed algorithm for decision propagation in a mobile agent network topology. The agent interaction policy proposed here enables the control of the tradeoff between Propagation Radius and Localization Gradient. Analytical results regarding statistical moment convergence are presented and validated with simulation experiments.
