Second-Order Consensus for Multiagent Systems With Directed Topologies and Nonlinear Dynamics
Second-Order Consensus for Multiagent Systems With Directed Topologies and Nonlinear Dynamics is a scholarly work by Chen Guanrong, Ming Cao, and Jürgen Kurths, published in 2009 in ''IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics''. The main subjects of the publication include algebraic connectivity, computer science, mathematical optimization, network topology, mathematics, algebraic number, electronic circuit topology, multi-agent system, Lyapunov function, consensus, synchronization, spanning tree, graph theory, graph, strongly connected component, nonlinear system, algebraic graph theory, directed graph, and control theory. The paper considers a second-order consensus problem for multiagent systems with nonlinear dynamics and directed topologies where each agent is governed by both position and velocity consensus terms with a time-varying asymptotic velocity.
