On symmetric continuum opinion dynamics
Julien M. Hendrickx, Alex Olshevsky
This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of some common opinion dynamic models in a continuum of agents. We show that as long as the interactions among the agents are symmet…
Nonuniform Line Coverage from Noisy Scalar Measurements
P. Davison, N. E. Leonard, A. Olshevsky +1
We study the problem of distributed coverage control in a network of mobile agents arranged on a line. The goal is to design distributed dynamics for the agents to achieve optimal…
On Primitivity of Sets of Matrices
Vincent D. Blondel, Raphael M. Jungers, Alex Olshevsky
A nonnegative matrix is called primitive if is positive for some integer . A generalization of this concept to finite sets of matrices is as follows: a set of matric…
Minimal Controllability Problems
Alex Olshevsky
Given a linear system, we consider the problem of finding a small set of variables to affect with an input so that the resulting system is controllable. We show that this problem i…
Distributed optimization over time-varying directed graphs
Angelia Nedic, Alex Olshevsky
We consider distributed optimization by a collection of nodes, each having access to its own convex function, whose collective goal is to minimize the sum of the functions. The com…
