Weak state synchronization of homogeneous multi-agent systems with adaptive protocols

Abstract

In this paper, we study scale-free weak synchronization for multi-agent systems (MAS). In other words, we design a protocol for the agents without using any knowledge about the network. We do not even require knowledge about the connectivity of the network. Each protocol contains an adaptive parameter to tune the protocol automatically to the demands of the network.
