Title Of Article :
Continuous-time analysis of multi-agent systems with multiple consensus equilibria
Abstract :
In this paper, we examine the multi-equilibrium consensus problem for a network of n agents having fixed or time-varying communication links. We introduce necessary and sufficient conditions on networks modeled with undirected graphs such that multi-equilibrium consensus states are achieved, thus extending the classical convergence results in the literature. Spectral graph theory and switched systems theory are used to analyze the continuous-time algorithm. Theoretical results are verified by simulation studies.
