Achieving Edge Consensus in Hybrid Multi-AgentSystems: Scaled Dynamics and Protocol Design
Park Choonkil, Siriluk Donganont, Mana Donganont · European Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics · 2025
In contrast to existing research on consensus problems that primarily addresses the node dynamics of multi-agent systems, this study focuses on achieving consensus among the states of edges within a network. Initially, the scaled consensus of edge dynamics in hybrid multi-agent systems is investigated for both undirected and directed topologies. Subsequently, necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for both directed and undirected topologies to facilitate the design of consensus protocols aimed at resolving edge consensus challenges. Finally, numerical examples are provided to substantiate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
