In this paper, the consensus problems for networks of dynamic agents are investigated. The
agent dynamics is adopted as a typical point mass model based on the Newton's law. The
average‐consensus problem is proposed for such class of networks, which includes two
aspects, the agreement of the states of the agents and the convergence to zero of the
speeds of the agents. A linear consensus protocol for such networks is established for
solving such a consensus problem that includes two parts, a local speed feedback controller …

This paper investigates the consensus problems for networks of dynamic agents. The agent
dynamics is adopted as a typical point mass model based on the Newton's law. The average-

agents. A linear consensus protocol for such networks is established for solving such a
