Consensus under persistent interconnections in a ring topology: a Small Gain Approach
Résumé
We study consensus problem over a network of dynamic agents with time-dependent communication links which may disconnect for long intervals of time. We assume that the nodes are interconnected in a ring topology. The originality of our results lays, in part, in our method of proof: we leave behind graph theory for linear time-invariant systems and use instead, stability theory. In particular, we employ the small-gain theorem to establish simple checkable conditions on the network interconnections, to guarantee the achievement of consensus. Simulations on an academic example are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
