Underactuated control and distribution of multi-agent systems in stratified flow environments
The present paper shows how vertical actuation alone may be used to effectively control the spatial distribution of mobile vehicles ("balloons" in air, or "drifters&...

Robust comparative statics in large static games
We provide general comparative static results for large finite and infinite-dimensional aggregative games. In aggregative games, each player's payoff depends on her own action...

Effect of network structure on the stability margin of large vehicle formation with distributed control
We study the problem of distributed control of a large network of double-integrator agents to maintain a rigid formation. A few lead vehicles are given information on the desired t...
