How network perturbations distort agreement trajectories in LTI multi-agent systems
Gal Barkai, Irinel-Constantin MorÄrescu
Distributed coordination of multi-agent systems frequently relies on cooperative protocols designed to achieve agreement on a prescribed, non-trivial trajectory. While the robustne…
Social learning community detection with nonlinear interaction
Anthony Couthures, Athira Varma Jayakumar, Vineeth Satheeskumar Varma +3
Conventional community detection requires centralized network data, making it unsuitable for distributed or privacy-preserving systems. In this paper, we demonstrate that macroscop…
Transient-Safe Platooning via Dynamic Headway
Gal Barkai, J Ãr Ãmie Kreiss, Vineeth S Varma +1
Managing autonomous vehicle platoons requires a delicate balance between string stability and rigorous safety. This challenge is intensified by aggressive transients, such as highw…
From Consensus to Robust Clustering: Multi-Agent Systems with Nonlinear Interactions
Anthony Couthures, Gustave Bainier, Vineeth Satheeskumar Varma +2
This paper establishes a theoretical framework to describe the transition from consensus to stable clustering in multi-agent systems with nonlinear, cooperative interactions. We fi…
Consensus approximation and impulsive control for a class of uncertain multi-agent dynamics
Zoltan Nagy, Irinel-Constantin Morarescu, Lucian Busoniu
This paper studies a class of consensus dynamics where the interactions between agents are affected by a time-varying unknown scaling factor. This situation is encountered in the c…
Bifurcation analysis of an opinion dynamics model coupled with an environmental dynamics
Anthony Couthures, Anastasia Bizyaeva, Vineeth S. Varma +2
We consider an opinion dynamics model coupled with an environmental dynamics. Based on a forward invariance argument, we can simplify the analysis of the asymptotic behavior to the…
