First-order Consensus
Results: First-order Consensus Fixed Topologies: A directed spanning tree or connected (Olfati-Saber and Murray TAC 2004, Ren and Beard TAC 2005, Lin, et al. TAC 2005) Time-varying Topologies: Graph is jointly connected (union of graphs) (Jadbabaie et al. TAC 2003, Moreau TAC 2005, Ren and Beard TAC 2005, Tanner et al. TAC 2007) Stochastic Switching (Hatano and Mesbahi TAC 2005) Stochastic Matrix and Convexity
