Proc. 16th IFAC World Congress on Automatic Control, July 2005Abstract
It is shown in the paper how robustness can be guaranteed for consensus
protocols with heterogeneous dynamics in a scalable and decentralized
way. This is achieved by each agent adjusting its control parameters
according to a test that does not require knowledge of the entire
network. Random graph examples are given to show that the proposed
certificates are not conservative in large scale networks, despite the
heterogeneity of the dynamics, which is a distinctive feature of this
work. The conditions hold for symmetric protocols and more
conservative stability conditions are given for general nonsymmetric
interconnections. Finally, the results are generalized to networks of
nonlinear agents, by interpreting them within an IQC framework.
