Study of non-uniform link weights on interconnected complex systems with application to multi-agent systems
K. Kotsidou, Dalila B. Megherbi · 2005
This paper deals with a MultiAgent System (MAS) and our primary objective is to study how the behavior of the system changes when the interconnections among the agents exhibit non-uniform link weights. Our main contribution is to show when the system with non-uniform coupling strengths is more stable compared to the system with uniform weights. In the process of proving our main idea, we tackle the stability of the system and we propose an approximation method for the computation of the system convergence time.
