Abstract
In this article, a distributed algorithm is proposed to identify the node and edge numbers of anonymous leader–follower networks. The present distributed method works merely by exchanging scalar information by local intercommunication. The merit of the algorithm lies in identifying the required network parameters in time-varying topological networks without special initialization. Sufficient conditions are derived for cascading systems to theoretically guarantee the exponential convergence of the individual estimation to the total number of nodes or edges merely by local information exchange. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to substantiate the effectiveness of the present identification algorithm.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems is committed to the timely publication of high-impact papers at the intersection of control systems and network science. In particular, the journal addresses research on the analysis, design and implementation of networked control systems, as well as control over networks. Relevant work includes the full spectrum from basic research on control systems to the design of engineering solutions for automatic control of, and over, networks. The topics covered by this journal include: Coordinated control and estimation over networks, Control and computation over sensor networks, Control under communication constraints, Control and performance analysis issues that arise in the dynamics of networks used in application areas such as communications, computers, transportation, manufacturing, Web ranking and aggregation, social networks, biology, power systems, economics, Synchronization of activities across a controlled network, Stability analysis of controlled networks, Analysis of networks as hybrid dynamical systems.
