Design and analysis of reset strategy for consensus in networks with cluster pattern
Résumé
This chapter addresses the problem of consensus in networks partitioned in several disconnected clusters. Each cluster is represented by a fixed, directed, and strongly connected graphs. In order to enforce the consensus, we assume that each cluster poses a leader that can reset its state by taking into account other leaders state. First, we characterize the consensus value of this model. Second, we provide sufficient condition in LMI form for the stability of the consensus. Finally, we perform a decay rate analysis and design the interaction network of the leaders which allows to reach a prescribed consensus value.
