Hybrid Modeling and Quantized Consensus of Multiagent Networks

This paper synthetically consider the effects of state quantization and switching topology for multiagent network systems due to the inherent features of time-varying topology and information constraints.Based on a new quantizer,we first construct the hybrid model of multiagent systems under quantized feedback,further analyze the finite-time convergence,and present the lower bound of time to consensus convergence.Finally,a simulation example is provided for different networks with switching topology to validate the theoretical results.
