This chapter is concerned with the consensus of a network of agents with general linear or linearized dynamics, whose communication topology contains a directed spanning tree. An observer-type consensus protocol based on the relative outputs of the neighboring agents is adopted.

In control? IQC consensus and statutory regulation
International Journal of Health Care Quality Assurance, 2016Purpose – Internal quality control (IQC) represents an essential risk management tool within the total testing pathway (TTP) that contributes to the overall objective of assuring the quality of results produced in medical laboratories. Controlling analytical phase quality alone requires significant expertise and input by

Consensus Control With Failure—Wait or Abandon?
IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, 2016This paper introduces and solves a decision-making problem under the context of consensus control with failure. We study an optimal consensus control problem in which n autonomous agents try to arrive at a target at the same time. One of the agents suddenly fails and the rest n - 1 agents can either wait or abandon the failed agent.

Model reference adaptive consensus control
52nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2013A design method of model reference adaptive consensus control of multi-agent systems composed of unknown linear processes is presented in this paper. The proposed control scheme is constructed via a backstepping procedure and state variable filters together with a restricted information network structure among agents.

Controlling Consensual Sex Among Prisoners
Law & Social Inquiry, 2016Despite recent legal advances for LGBT citizens, including the Supreme Court's recognition of a constitutional right to engage in private, consensual, same-sex sex, prisons continue to regulate sex in much the same way they have been doing since the nineteenth century.

Consensus Speed of Static Pinning Consensus Control of Multi-Agent Systems
2018 European Control Conference (ECC), 2018This paper is concerned with the pinning consensus problem of multi-agent systems with single integrator agents in general directed networks. In this problem, the consensus speed is critical for the analysis of the convergence rate of the system. We show that the upper bound of the consensus speed of static pinning control is the eigenvalue with the ...

Consensus only control in DC microgrids
Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Future Energy Systems, 2018Voltage droop control for DC microgrids has limited power/current sharing capabilities. Although droop complemented with a consensus control loop can achieve desired power/current sharing, the resulting voltage deviation may need correction. We propose a consensus only control that achieves proportional current sharing and simultaneously avoids large ...

Consensus based multi-agent control structures
2008 47th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2008In this paper a new approach to decentralized overlapping control of complex systems has been proposed in the form of multi-agent network were the agents are using dynamic consensus strategy in order to reach the agreement upon the control actions. Several structures and algorithms have been proposed which differ, on one hand, on the choice of the ...

Consensus Control of Swarm Systems
2015This chapter studies practical consensus problems for general high-order linear time-invariant swarm systems with interaction uncertainties, nonuniform time-varying delays, and time-varying external disturbances on directed interaction topologies. A dynamic consensus protocol constructed by neighboring output information is adopted to deal with the ...
