Topics These lecture notes are intended primarily for graduate students interested in
network systems, distributed algorithms, and cooperative control. The objective is to answer …

This article addresses the problem of achieving relative position-based formation control for
leader-follower multiagent systems in a distributed manner using a prescribed performance …

We design sparse and block sparse feedback gains that minimize the variance amplification
(ie, the H 2 norm) of distributed systems. Our approach consists of two steps. First, we …

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 …

This paper analyzes distributed control protocols for first-and second-order networked
dynamical systems. We propose a class of nonlinear consensus controllers where the input …

This note presents a distributed optimization scheme over a network of agents in the
presence of cost uncertainties and over switching communication topologies. Inspired by …

In this paper we present a unifying geometric and compositional framework for modeling
complex physical network dynamics as port-Hamiltonian systems on open graphs. The basic …

We present a graph-based semi-supervised learning (SSL) method for learning edge flows
defined on a graph. Specifically, given flow measurements on a subset of edges, we want to …

We consider the design of optimal localized feedback gains for one-dimensional formations
in which vehicles only use information from their immediate neighbors. The control objective …

This paper proposes the matrix-weighted consensus algorithm, which is a generalization of
the consensus algorithm. Given a networked dynamical system where the interconnections …
