Heterogeneity is an important feature of multiagent systems. This paper addresses the consensus problem of heterogeneous multiagent systems composed of first-integrator and double-integrator agents. The dynamics of each agent switches between continuous-time and discrete-time dynamics. By using the graph theory and nonnegative matrix theory, we derive that the system can achieve consensus if and only if the fixed interaction topology has a directed spanning tree. For switching topologies, we get that the system can reach consensus if each interaction topology has a directed spanning tree. Simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.

In nature, many phenomena can be explained by coordinated behavior of agents with fractional-order dynamics. In this paper, the consensus problem of fractional-order multiagent systems with double-integrator is studied, where the fractional-order satisfies0<α<2. Based on the fractional-order stability theory, Mittag-Leffler function, and Laplace transform, a necessary and sufficient condition is obtained under the assumption that the directed graph for the communication network contains a directed spanning tree. Finally, an example with simulation is presented to illustrate the theoretical results.

In Bhatt and Roy's minimal directed spanning tree construction fornrandom points in the unit square, all edges must be in a south-westerly direction and there must be a directed path from each vertex to the root placed at the origin. We identify the limiting distributions (for largen) for the total length of rooted edges, and also for the maximal length of all edges in the tree. These limit distributions have been seen previously in analysis of the Poisson-Dirichlet distribution and elsewhere; they are expressed in terms of Dickman's function, and their properties are discussed in some detail.

We study the asymptotic properties of a minimal spanning tree formed by n points uniformly distributed in the unit square, where the minimality is amongst all rooted spanning trees with a direction of growth. We show that the number of branches from the root of this tree, the total length of these branches, and the length of the longest branch each converges weakly. This model is related to the study of record values in the theory of extreme-value statistics and this relation is used to obtain our results. The results also hold when the tree is formed from a Poisson point process of intensity n in the unit square.
