All beauty, richness and harmony in the emergent dynamics of a complex system largely
depend on the specific way in which its elementary components interact. The last twenty-five …

This paper provides a review of the consensus problem as one of the most challenging
issues in the distributed control of the multi-agent systems (MASs). In this survey, firstly, the …

Swarm intelligence principles have been widely studied and applied to a number of different
tasks where a group of autonomous robots is used to solve a problem with a distributed …

This paper studies the distributed rendezvous problem of multi-agent systems with novel
event-triggered controllers. We have proposed a combinational measurement approach to …

Average consensus is a widely used algorithm for distributed computing and control, where
all the agents in the network constantly communicate and update their states in order to …

The leader-following consensus problem of higher order multi-agent systems is considered.
In the system, the dynamics of each agent and the leader is a linear system. The control of …

This paper provides a theoretical framework for analysis of consensus algorithms for multi-
agent networked systems with an emphasis on the role of directed information flow …

Recent advances in miniaturizing of computing, communication, sensing, and actuation
have made it feasible to envision large numbers of autonomous vehicles (air, ground, and …

The purpose of this article is to provide a tutorial overview of information consensus in
multivehicle cooperative control. Theoretical results regarding consensus-seeking under …

We explore the framework of permutation-based p-values for assessing the performance of
classifiers. In this paper we study two simple permutation tests. The first test assess whether …
