State consensus for multi-agent systems with switching topologies and time-varying delays. (English) Zbl 1330.94022

Int. J. Control 79, No. 10, 1277-1284 (2006).
Summary: We investigate state consensus problems for discrete-time multi-agent systems with changing communications topologies and bounded time-varying communication delays. The analysis in this paper is based on the properties of non-negative matrices. We first extend the model of networks of dynamic agents to the case with multiple time-delays and prove that if the communication topology, time-delays, and weighting factors are time-invariant, then the necessary and sufficient condition that the multi-agent system solves a consensus problem is that the communication topology, represented by a directed graph, has spanning trees. Then we allow for dynamically changing communication topologies and bounded time-varying communication delays, and present some sufficient conditions for state consensus of system. Finally, as a special case of our model, the problem of asynchronous information exchange is also discussed.
