Abstract

I worked with multi-agent systems of the first order. The connections between the agents are described in a Graph. The agents are given the roll of leader or follower in the system. The multi-agent system is subject to a consensus algorithm. It turns out that the graph Laplacian matrix will play an important roll in describing such leader-follower network systems. With this Laplacian we can write the system in the standard, well-known, sate space representation. I tried a several (balancing) reduction techniques, but they failed to preserve the graph structure. Eventually I found two reduction methods which do preserve the graph structure of the system.
