The Complexity in Complete Graphic Characterizations of Multiagent Controllability

Modeling and Simulation Analysis of Journal Impact Factor Dynamics Based on Submission and Citation Rules

“…us, our model only considers some basic social factors, with the idiosyncrasy of individuals embodied by random noises. To the best of our knowledge, most of the parallel social systems are composed of individuals and communities, which are agent-based and networked [27][28][29][30][31][32], with some of the analytical properties potentially acquirable by relevant theories in system science [26,33]. It is worth nothing that the primary goal of virtual simulation systems is not for mimicking the real-world counterparts quantitatively, instead, they should be very helpful for verifying, interpreting, and enlightening the underlying factors and the possibility of some of the phenomena and mechanisms, qualitatively.…”

Observability of leader‐based discrete‐time multi‐agent systems with switching topology

“…Controllability refers to the transferring of the system in a limited time to the desired configuration from any initial configuration when a certain control action is applied to the control system, while the observability refers to whether the initial configuration of such system may be judged by the observations of the system outputs after a period of observation. Recently, the coordination control, especially including controllability and observability, of multi‐agent systems (MASs) has attracted the attention of many scholars [1–13]. For a given MAS with switching topology, such MAS network is observable if the initial states of the network only depends on the evolution topologies of the observed agent(s), which means the observability of MASs focuses on whether the whole network state can be reconstructed by only observing a small number of agents.…”

Event-triggered consensus control for general second-order multi-agent systems

“…In recent years, the cooperative control of multi-agent systems has become the research focus of many scholars (Ji et al, 2020;Ji & Yu, 2017;Lou et al, 2020;Qin & Yu, 2013;Qu et al, 2020;Zou et al, 2019Zou et al, , 2020. As an important basis of cooperative control, consensus is widely used in robot formation control, UAV task assignment, smart grid and so on.…”
