We are interested in assigning a pre-specified number of nodes as leaders in order to
minimize the mean-square deviation from consensus in stochastically forced networks. This …

A current trend in research on multi-agent control systems is to consider high-level task
specifications that go beyond traditional control objectives and take into account the …

In a leader-follower multi-agent system (MAS), the leader agents act as control inputs and
influence the states of the remaining follower agents. The rate at which the follower agents …

Decentralized control strategies for multirobot systems have been extensively studied over
the past few years. Typically, these strategies aim at exploiting local interaction rules to …

In this brief, we study first-and second-order consensus algorithms for the scale-free small-
world Koch network, where vertices are subject to white noise. We focus on three cases of …

This article presents control strategies based on time-varying convergent higher order
control barrier functions for a class of leader–follower multiagent systems under signal …

In this paper, a new optimization problem is addressed for node selection that has
application potentials in input/output switches for sensors in control system design and …

In this paper, we deal with a double control task for a group of interacting agents that have
second-order dynamics. Adopting the leader-follower paradigm, the given multiagent system …

The goal of this paper is to propose an extension of the popular leader-follower framework
for multiagent collective tracking and formation maintenance in the presence of a time …

This paper introduces the notion of manipulability to mobile, multi-agent networks as a tool
to analyze the instantaneous effectiveness of injecting control inputs at certain, so-called …
