Fast second-order distributed consensus with adaptive quantization

In order to improve the accuracy and the convergence rate of distributed consensus under quantized communication, in the paper, based on adaptive quantization scheme, we propose the fast second-order distributed consensus algorithm. We analyze the convergence performance. The fast second-order distributed consensus with adaptive quantization achieves a consensus in a mean square sense, and the consensus is equal to the average of the initial states. Simultaneously, Simulations are done about the fast second-order distributed consensus based on adaptive quantization. Results show that the fast second-order distributed consensus algorithm based on adaptive quantization can reach an average consensus, and its convergence rate is higher than that of the first-order adaptive quantized distributed consensus algorithm, moreover, the mean square errors are smaller within the finite steps.
