In network overlays, virtual links among remote processes are usually established to circumvent the limitations of underlying protocols. The resulting dynamics have been recently studied, based on a novel random graph model that assumes that no link failure can occur. In that model, the case of faulty links has been only marginally stated to stimulate future research activities. Unfortunately, network...
The present situation of research on hybrid electromechanical system is introduced, and then the concept of the hybrid cam-linkage mechanism is presented and its signification is expounded. The basic structure of hybrid cam-linkage mechanism is given. Based on the inverse kinematic analysis, the boundary condition of the flexible workspace is derived by using the graphic method. A representative hybrid...
The introduction of infrastructural heterogeneity is generally perceived as a convenient solution to extend the coverage and the capacity of current wireless networks. An accurate assessment of the advantages and costs of such introduction, however, depends on the availability of adequate simulative models to characterize the network control strategies that must support it. This translates in the...
In this work, we provide an initial-connectivity-based sufficient condition for consensus of multi-dimensional Krause-Hegselmann model with uniform bounded confidence. The criterion is obtained by exploiting a Lyapunov-like function that is the largest edge length in the dynamical network. An illustrative example is carried out to show the effectiveness of the approach.
Many natural and artificial systems, for example, fish school, bird flocks, robot team, are often composed of two different classes of agents: autonomous agents and leaders. The leaders have pertinent information, such as the location of the food source, while the autonomous agents make decisions according to local interactions. Then a basic problem is: how many leaders are required in order to induce...
