Consensus of edge dynamics on complex networks
Xiaofan Wang, Xiaoling Wang · 2014
Existed works on consensus in networks have been focused on reaching an agreement among states of nodes in a network. In this work, we propose a discrete-time edge consensus protocol for complex networks. By mapping the edge topology into a corresponding line graph, we prove that consensus can be achieved among the states of all edges in a connected network. Theoretical analysis and simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the model and the influence of network topology.
