Event-based bipartite consensus on signed networks

Abstract

In this paper, a bipartite consensus problem for a multi-agent system is formulated firstly. Then an event-based interaction rule is proposed for the multi-agent system with antagonistic interactions. The bipartite consensus stability is analyzed on the basis of spectral properties of the signed Laplacian matrix associated with multi-agent networks. Some simulation results are presented to illustrate the bipartite consensus with the proposed interaction rule.
