Networked Control of Multi-Agent Systems: Consensus and synchronisation, Communication structure design, Self-organisation in networked systems, Event-triggered control, 2nd edition

This textbook gives a thorough introduction to the graph-theoretical and systems-theoretical foundations and combines both to systematic ways for dealing with networked dynamical systems. Networked Control of Multi-Agent Systems starts with consensus and synchronisation as the classical problems of the field and continues with the communication structure design of networked controllers, self-organised and event-triggered control, which are novel problems for which solutions have been elaborated recently.

The second edition presents, besides many revised parts, new material about the robustness of synchronised systems and numerous additional examples and exercises in MATLAB. The application studies have been extended and its description is collected in a supplementary booklet.
