We consider the effect of network throughput on the convergence of a specific class of distributed averaging algorithms, called consensus algorithms. These algorithms rely on itera...
Convergence analysis of consensus algorithms is revisited in the light of the Hilbert distance. The Lyapunov function used in the early analysis by Tsitsiklis is shown to be the Hi...

We consider a distributed multi-agent network system where the goal is to minimize a sum of agent objective functions subject to a common set of constraints. For this problem, we p...

This paper considers consensus problems with delayed noisy measurements, and stochastic approximation is used to achieve mean square consensus. For stochastic approximation based c...
—In a sensor network, in practice, the communication among sensors is subject to: 1) errors that can cause failures of links among sensors at random times; 2) costs; and 3) const...
