Static Consensus in Passifiable Linear Networks

Abstract EN

Sufficient conditions of consensus (synchronization) in networks described by digraphs and consisting of identical deterministic SIMO systems are derived.

Identical and nonidentical control gains (positive arc weights) are considered.

Connection between admissible digraphs and nonsmooth hypersurfaces (sufficient gain boundary) is established.

Necessary and sufficient conditions for static consensus by output feedback in networks consisting of certain class of double integrators are rediscovered.

Scalability for circle digraph in terms of gain magnitudes is studied.

Examples and results of numerical simulations are presented.
