Consensus in Multi-Agent System with Switching Topology

EasyChair Preprint 13801

Abstract

This article discusses mathematical framework of development of consensus algorithm for multi-agent systems using switching topology. Consensus equation is derived in discrete time domain using Perron Frobenius theory. Discrete time consensus equation is depends upon underline topology of multi-agents. For achieving consensus two cases are considered 1) Directed networks with fixed topology 2) Directed networks with switching topology. Convergence analysis of consensus algorithm for switching topology is compared with respect to fixed topology. A distinctive feature of this article is to address consensus problems for networks with directed information flow. Simulations are provided that demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results

Keyphrases: consensus, multiagent system, network topology
