In this paper, we mainly review the topics in consensus and coordination of multi-agent
systems, which have received a tremendous surge of interest and progressed rapidly in the …

In recent years, we have observed a significant trend towards filling the gap between social
network analysis and control. This trend was enabled by the introduction of new …

Most of the distributed protocols for multi-agent consensus assume that the agents are
mutually cooperative and “trustful,” and so the couplings among the agents bring the values …

Unlike many complex networks studied in the literature, social networks rarely exhibit
unanimous behavior, or consensus. This requires a development of mathematical models …

This paper investigates the cluster consensus control for generic linear multi-agent systems
(MASs) under directed interaction topology via distributed feedback controller. Focus of this …

Structural balance theory has been developed in sociology and psychology to explain how
interacting agents, for example, countries, political parties, opinionated individuals, with …

This paper proposes a fully distributed control protocol that achieves time-varying group
formation tracking for linear multiagent systems connected via a directed graph. The group …

This paper introduces a new multi-agent control problem, called an affine formation control
problem, with the objective of asymptotically reaching a configuration that preserves …

Inspired by the group activities of natural swarms (eg, a flock of birds, a colony of ants, etc.),
a fleet of mobile robots can be collaboratively put into work to accomplish complex real …

For communities of agents which are not necessarily cooperating, distributed processes of
opinion forming are naturally represented by signed graphs, with positive edges …
