Abstract
- In its simplest form the well known consensus problem for a networked family of autonomous agents is to devise a set of protocols or update rules, one for each agent, which can enable all of the agents to adjust or tune their "agreement variable" to the same value by utilizing real-time information obtained from their "neighbors" within the network. The aim of this paper is to study the problem of achieving a consensus in the face of limited information transfer between agents. By this it is meant that instead of each agent receiving an agreement variable or real-valued state vector from each of its neighbors, it receives a linear function of each state instead. The specific problem of interest is formulated and provably correct algorithms are developed for a number of special cases of the problem.<br />Comment: an expanded version of an accepted CDC paper
