Synthesis of Consensus Algorithms

  • Book
  • © 2013

Overview

  • Provides synthesis-based methodology for team cooperation

  • Introduces a consensus-protocol optimized performance index

  • Offers comparisons for use of proper indices in measuring team performance

  • Analyzes and predicts performance of previously designed consensus algorithms

  • Analyses and predicts team behavior in the presence of non-ideal considerations such as actuator anomalies and faults as well as the evolutions in the structure of the information exchange

About this book

Team Cooperation in a Network of Multi-Vehicle Unmanned Systems develops a framework for modeling and control of a network of multi-agent unmanned systems in a cooperative manner and with consideration of non-ideal and practical considerations. The main focus of this book is the development of “synthesis-based” algorithms rather than on conventional “analysis-based” approaches to the team cooperation, specifically the team consensus problems. The authors provide a set of modified “design-based” consensus algorithms whose optimality is verified through introduction of performance indices.

Reviews

From the book reviews:

“The book is structured in six chapters, a rich list of references, an index terms, a list of explanations of the figures which are included. … The book is targeted for researchers, scientists and graduate-level university students who are interested in becoming familiar with design of consensus-seeking algorithms in the general area of networked dynamical systems.” (Vasile Dragan, zbMATH, Vol. 1304, 2015)
