Minimizing convergence error in multi-agent systems via leader selection: A supermodular optimization approach

A Clark, B Alomair, L Bushnell… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2014 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
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 …

[图书][B] Submodularity in dynamics and control of networked systems

A Clark, B Alomair, L Bushnell, R Poovendran - 2015 - books.google.com
This book presents a framework for the control of networked systems utilizing submodular
optimization techniques. The main focus is on selecting input nodes for the control of …

Opinion-based centrality in multiplex networks: A convex optimization approach

A Reiffers-Masson, V Labatut - Network science, 2017 - cambridge.org

relations can be different. They have opinions about certain topics, which they share and …

Manufacturing consent

VS Borkar, A Karnik, J Nair… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2014 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider a variant of the gossip algorithm wherein a controller can influence the values
at a subset of nodes as well as the averaging weights. This leads to three optimization …

Optimal k-centers of a graph: a control-theoretic approach

K Shahbaz, MN Belur, C Bhawal, D Pal - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.05512, 2024 - arxiv.org
In a network consisting of n nodes, our goal is to identify the most central k nodes with
respect to the proposed definitions of centrality. Depending on the specific application, there …
