Stability analysis for large multi‐agent systems: A wave model approach

Abstract

Abstract A network stability test algorithm is proposed to check the stability of large‐scale multi‐agent systems (MAS). The method employs modelling and processing techniques for analyzing distributed communications in these systems. To model the data transactions within the network the Modified Fornasini‐Marchesini (MFM) model has been employed. In addition, a wave‐like model for processing the distributed data in the system has been proposed, which can ensure the stability of the entire system. This method is more general and less restrictive than other methods.
