AbstractThis paper studies the group consensus problem for second-order multi-agent dynamic systems with time-varying delays, where the agents in a network may reach one more consistent values asymptotically. The fixed network topology is in case of being directed and weakly connected. Based on algebraic graph theory and Lyapunov function approach, we propose some sufficient conditions for reaching group consensus. All the results are presented in the form of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). A simulation example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.

AbstractWe study the stability of a time-aware version of the popular Massey method, previously introduced by Franceschet, M., E. Bozzo, and P. Vidoni. 2017. “The Temporalized Massey’s Method.” Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports 13: 37–48, for rating teams in sport competitions. To this end, we embed the temporal Massey method in the theory of time-varying averaging algorithms, which are dynamic systems mainly used in control theory for multi-agent coordination. We also introduce a parametric family of Massey-type methods and show that the original and time-aware Massey versions are, in some sense, particular instances of it. Finally, we discuss the key features of this general family of rating procedures, focusing on inferential and predictive issues and on sensitivity to upsets and modifications of the schedule.
