Finite-time consensus problem for multiple non-holonomic mobile agents

Jiankui Wang, Zhihui Qiu, Guoshan Zhang (2012)

Kybernetika

In this paper, the problem of finite time consensus is discussed for multiple non-holonomic mobile agents. The objective is to design a distributed finite time control law such that the controlled multiple non-holonomic mobile agents can reach consensus within any given finite settling time. We propose a novel switching control strategy with the help of time-rescalling technique and graph theory. The numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the method.

Generalized Schauder frames

S.K. Kaushik, Shalu Sharma (2014)

Archivum Mathematicum

Schauder frames were introduced by Han and Larson [9] and further studied by Casazza, Dilworth, Odell, Schlumprecht and Zsak [2]. In this paper, we have introduced approximative Schauder frames as a generalization of Schauder frames and a characterization for approximative Schauder frames in Banach spaces in terms of sequence of non-zero endomorphism of finite rank has been given. Further, weak* and weak approximative Schauder frames in Banach spaces have been defined. Finally, it has been proved...

Graph fibrations, graph isomorphism, and PageRank

Paolo Boldi, Violetta Lonati, Massimo Santini, Sebastiano Vigna (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

PageRank is a ranking method that assigns scores to web pages using the limit distribution of a random walk on the web graph. A fibration of graphs is a morphism that is a local isomorphism of in-neighbourhoods, much in the same way a covering projection is a local isomorphism of neighbourhoods. We show that a deep connection relates fibrations and Markov chains with restart, a particular kind of Markov chains that include the PageRank one as a special case. This fact provides constraints on the...

Local dependency in networks

Miloš Kudělka, Šárka Zehnalová, Zdeněk Horák, Pavel Krömer, Václav Snášel (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Many real world data and processes have a network structure and can usefully be represented as graphs. Network analysis focuses on the relations among the nodes exploring the properties of each network. We introduce a method for measuring the strength of the relationship between two nodes of a network and for their ranking. This method is applicable to all kinds of networks, including directed and weighted networks. The approach extracts dependency relations among the network's nodes from the structure...

On maximal QROBDD’s of boolean functions

Jean-Francis Michon, Jean-Baptiste Yunès, Pierre Valarcher (2005)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We investigate the structure of “worst-case” quasi reduced ordered decision diagrams and Boolean functions whose truth tables are associated to: we suggest different ways to count and enumerate them. We, then, introduce a notion of complexity which leads to the concept of “hard” Boolean functions as functions whose QROBDD are “worst-case” ones. So we exhibit the relation between hard functions and the Storage Access function (also known as Multiplexer).

On network models and the symbolic solution of network equations

Kurt Reinschke (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper gives an overview of the formulation and solution of network equations, with emphasis on the historical development of this area. Networks are mathematical models. The three ingredients of network descriptions are discussed. It is shown how the network equations of one-dimensional multi-port networks can be formulated and solved symbolically. If necessary, the network graph is modified so as to obtain an admittance representation for all kinds of multi-ports. N-dimensional networks are...

On robust consensus of multi-agent systems with communication delays

Jiangping Hu (2009)

Kybernetika

In this paper, two robust consensus problems are considered for a multi-agent system with various disturbances. To achieve the robust consensus, two distributed control schemes for each agent, described by a second-order differential equation, are proposed. With the help of graph theory, the robust consensus stability of the multi-agent system with communication delays is obtained for both fixed and switching interconnection topologies. The results show the leaderless consensus can be achieved with...

On the computational complexity of centers locating in a graph

Ján Plesník (1980)

Aplikace matematiky

It is shown that the problem of finding a minimum k -basis, the n -center problem, and the p -median problem are N P -complete even in the case of such communication networks as planar graphs with maximum degree 3. Moreover, a near optimal m -center problem is also N P -complete.

On the Edge-Hyper-Hamiltonian Laceability of Balanced Hypercubes

Jianxiang Cao, Minyong Shi, Lihua Feng (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The balanced hypercube BHn, defined by Wu and Huang, is a variant of the hypercube network Qn, and has been proved to have better properties than Qn with the same number of links and processors. For a bipartite graph G = (V0 ∪ V1,E), we say G is edge-hyper-Hamiltonian laceable if it is Hamiltonian laceable, and for any vertex v ∈ Vi, i ∈ {0, 1}, any edge e ∈ E(G − v), there is a Hamiltonian path containing e in G − v between any two vertices of V1−i. In this paper, we prove that BHn is edge-hy per-...
