Time-Varying Consensus Algorithms
This lecture covers time-varying consensus algorithms in networked control systems, discussing the impact of transmission delays, quantization, and changes in the graph topology. The instructor presents examples of round-robin communication protocols and explores the implications of sporadic packet drops. The lecture also delves into the theoretical and experimental evidence supporting the robustness of consensus algorithms. Additionally, the Laplacian matrix and consensus in continuous time are explained, highlighting the importance of globally reachable nodes and the achievement of average consensus.
