Prev: Graph theory Course home Next: Cooperative control

In this lecture we introduce the problem of distributed control of a multi-agent system. As an analysis tool, we prove a Nyquist criterion that uses the eigenvalues of the graph Laplacian matrix to determine the effect of the communication topology on formation stability. We also consider several design paradigms for decentralized and distributed control systems.
