Networked systems often contain both positive and negative interactions between nodes, with the latter often represented as negative edge weights in a graph. Such negative edges may prevent a network from performing cooperative tasks such as achieving consensus, creating a need for new control-theoretic techniques that guarantee performance in the presence of negative edges. This paper considers the...
In a leader-follower multi-agent system (MAS), the leader agents act as control inputs and influence the states of the remaining follower agents. The rate at which the follower agents converge to their desired states, as well as the errors in the follower agent states prior to convergence, are determined by the choice of leader agents. In this paper, we study leader selection in order to minimize...
In a leader-follower multi-agent system (MAS), a set of leader nodes receive state updates directly from the network operator. The follower nodes then compute their states based on the inputs from the leader nodes. In this paper, we study the problem of selecting a set of leader nodes in order to minimize the time required for the distributed coordination law used by the MAS to converge. We first...
