Laplacian-based consensus on spatial computers
Robotic swarms, like all spatial computers, are a challenging environment for the execution of distributed consensus algorithms due to their scale, diameter, and frequent failures...

Regression on manifolds using kernel dimension reduction
We study the problem of discovering a manifold that best preserves information relevant to a nonlinear regression. Solving this problem involves extending and uniting two threads ...

Almost sure convergence to consensus in Markovian random graphs
— In this paper we discuss the consensus problem for a network of dynamic agents with undirected information flow and random switching topologies. The switching is determined by...

Constructing basis functions from directed graphs for value function approximation
Basis functions derived from an undirected graph connecting nearby samples from a Markov decision process (MDP) have proven useful for approximating value functions. The success o...

Convergence-Preserving Switching for Topology-Dependent Decentralized Systems
Abstract-- Stability analysis of decentralized control mechanisms for networked, coordinating systems has generally focused on specific controller implementations, such as nearest ...
