Resilience in Platoons of Cooperative Heterogeneous Vehicles: Self-organization Strategies and Provably-correct Design
Di Liu, Sebastian Mair, Kang Yang +3
This work proposes provably-correct self-organizing strategies for platoons of heterogeneous vehicles. We refer to self-organization as the capability of a platoon to autonomously…
On Lyapunov functions for open Hegselmann-Krause dynamics
Renato Vizuete, Paolo Frasca, Elena Panteley
In this paper, we provide a formulation of an open Hegselmann-Krause (HK) dynamics where agents can join and leave the system during the interactions. We consider a stochastic fram…
Potential detrimental effects of real-time route recommendations in traffic networks
Tommaso Toso, Alain Y. Kibangou, Paolo Frasca
Navigation apps have become pervasive in providing real-time route recommendations to travelers willing to minimize their travel times. However, such technologies introduce new com…
A Continuation Method for Large-Scale Modeling and Control: from ODEs to PDE, a Round Trip
Denis Nikitin, Carlos Canudas-de-Wit, Paolo Frasca
In this paper we present a continuation method which transforms spatially distributed ODE systems into continuous PDE. We show that this continuation can be performed both for line…
On the Influence of Noise in Randomized Consensus Algorithms
Renato Vizuete, Paolo Frasca, Elena Panteley
In this paper we study the influence of additive noise in randomized consensus algorithms. Assuming that the update matrices are symmetric, we derive a closed form expression for t…
Modeling limited attention in opinion dynamics by topological interactions
Francesca Ceragioli, Paolo Frasca, Wilbert Samuel Rossi
This work explores models of opinion dynamics with opinion-dependent connectivity. Our starting point is that individuals have limited capabilities to engage in interactions with t…
Graphon-based sensitivity analysis of SIS epidemics
Renato Vizuete, Paolo Frasca, Federica Garin
In this work, we use the spectral properties of graphons to study stability and sensitivity to noise of deterministic SIS epidemics over large networks. We consider the presence of…
Stability of Open Multi-Agent Systems and Applications to Dynamic Consensus
Mauro Franceschelli, Paolo Frasca
In this technical note we consider a class of multi-agent network systems that we refer to as Open Multi-Agent Systems (OMAS): in these multi-agent systems, an indefinite number of…
Stochastic String Stability of Vehicle Platoons via Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control with Lossy Communication
Francesco Acciani, Paolo Frasca, Geert Heijenk +1
This paper is about obtaining stable vehicle platooning by using Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control when the communication is unreliable and suffers from message losses. We model…
Functional target controllability of networks: structural properties and efficient algorithms
Christian Commault, Jacob van der Woude, Paolo Frasca
In this paper we consider the problem of controlling a limited number of target nodes of a network. Equivalently, we can see this problem as controlling the target variables of a s…
Distributed estimation from relative measurements of heterogeneous and uncertain quality
Chiara Ravazzi, Nelson P. K. Chan, Paolo Frasca
This paper studies the problem of estimation from relative measurements in a graph, in which a vector indexed over the nodes has to be reconstructed from pairwise measurements of d…
The Observability Radius of Networks
Gianluca Bianchin, Paolo Frasca, Andrea Gasparri +1
This paper studies the observability radius of network systems, which measures the robustness of a network to perturbations of the edges. We consider linear networks, where the dyn…
Consensus and disagreement: the role of quantized behaviours in opinion dynamics
Francesca Ceragioli, Paolo Frasca
This paper deals with continuous-time opinion dynamics that feature the interplay of continuous opinions and discrete behaviours. In our model, the opinion of one individual is onl…
Ergodic Randomized Algorithms and Dynamics over Networks
Chiara Ravazzi, Paolo Frasca, Roberto Tempo +1
Algorithms and dynamics over networks often involve randomization, and randomization may result in oscillating dynamics which fail to converge in a deterministic sense. In this pap…
Gossips and Prejudices: Ergodic Randomized Dynamics in Social Networks
Paolo Frasca, Chiara Ravazzi, Roberto Tempo +1
In this paper we study a novel model of opinion dynamics in social networks, which has two main features. First, agents asynchronously interact in pairs, and these pairs are chosen…
Limited benefit of cooperation in distributed relative localization
Wilbert Samuel Rossi, Paolo Frasca, Fabio Fagnani
Important applications in robotic and sensor networks require distributed algorithms to solve the so-called relative localization problem: a node-indexed vector has to be reconstru…
Almost sure convergence of a randomized algorithm for relative localization in sensor networks
Chiara Ravazzi, Paolo Frasca, Roberto Tempo +1
This paper regards the relative localization problem in sensor networks. We study a randomized algorithm, which is based on input-driven consensus dynamics and involves pairwise "g…
Robust self-triggered coordination with ternary controllers
Claudio De Persis, Paolo Frasca
This paper regards coordination of networked systems, which is studied in the framework of hybrid dynamical systems. We design a coordination scheme which combines the use of terna…
