In this brief, a novel distributed leader-following consensus controller for linear multi-agent
systems (MASs) with one leader and followers is designed for optimal leader-following …

A group behavior of a heterogeneous multi-agent system is studied which obeys an
“average of individual vector fields” under strong couplings among the agents. Under …

We revisit distributed sampled-data consensus problems from a scalability point of view.
Existing solutions in the literature for estimating the maximum sampling interval that …

The behavior of heterogeneous multi-agent systems is studied when the coupling matrices
are possibly all different and/or singular, that is, its rank is less than the system dimension …

We propose a distributed control, in which many identical control agents are deployed for
controlling a linear time-invariant plant that has multiple input–output channels. Each control …

When a group of heterogeneous node dynamics are diffusively coupled with a high coupling
gain, the group exhibits a collective emergent behavior which is governed by a simple …

We develop a discrete-time version of the blended dynamics theorem for the use of
designing distributed computation algorithms. The blended dynamics theorem enables to …

Active–passive networks are composed of nodes that meet specific criteria depending on
applications (active nodes) and nodes that do not (passive nodes). This paper investigates …

In this paper, a distributed algorithm is proposed to identify the node and edge numbers of
anonymous leader-follower networks. The present distributed method works merely by …

Multi-agent systems are promising for applications in various fields. However, they require
optimization algorithms that can handle large number of agents and heterogeneously …
