      Average consensus in the presence of delays in directed graph topologies 

      Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Charalambous, T. (2014)
      Classical distributed algorithms for asymptotic average consensus typically assume timely and reliable exchange of information between neighboring components of a given multi-component system. These assumptions are not ...

      Decentralised minimum-time average consensus in digraphs 

      Charalambous, T.; Yuan, Y.; Yang, T.; Pan, W.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Johansson, M. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2013)
      Distributed algorithms for average consensus in directed graphs are typically asymptotic in the literature. In this work, we propose a protocol to distributively reach average consensus in a finite number of steps on ...

      Digraph analysis of large-scale systems: The system primitive 

      Evans, F. J.; Schizas, Christos N. (1979)
      Mapping differential equations into digraphs is shown to give additional insight into system properties, such as controllability and observability. The concept of the system primitive is introduced. © 1979, The Institution ...

      Distributed balancing of a digraph with integer weights 

      Rikos, A. I.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2013)
      We address the integer weight-balancing problem for a distributed system whose components (nodes) can exchange information via interconnection links (edges) that form an arbitrary, possibly directed, communication topology ...

      Distributed cycle detection and removal 

      Oliva, G.; Setola, R.; Glielmo, L.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2018)
      In this paper, we provide distributed algorithms to detect and remove cycles in a directed relational graph by exploiting the underlying undirected communication graph; the relational graph models a relation among the ...

      Distributed Finite-Time Average Consensus in Digraphs in the Presence of Time Delays 

      Charalambous, T.; Yuan, Y.; Yang, T.; Pan, W.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Johansson, M. (2015)
      Most algorithms for distributed averaging only guarantee asymptotic convergence. This paper introduces a distributed protocol that allows nodes to find the exact average of the initial values in a finite and minimum number ...

      Distributed finite-time calculation of node eccentricities, graph radius and graph diameter 

      Oliva, G.; Setola, R.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2016)
      The distributed calculation of node eccentricities, graph radius and graph diameter are fundamental steps to tune network protocols (e.g., setting an adequate time-to-live of packets), to select cluster heads, or to execute ...

      Distributed formation of balanced and bistochastic weighted digraphs in multi-agent systems 

      Charalambous, T.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2013)
      We propose two distributed algorithms, one for solving the weight-balance problem and another for solving the bistochastic matrix formation problem, in a distributed system whose components (nodes) can exchange information ...

      Distributed matrix scaling and application to average consensus in directed graphs 

      Domínguez-Garcia, A. D.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2013)
      We propose a class of distributed iterative algorithms that enable the asymptotic scaling of a primitive column stochastic matrix, with a given sparsity structure, to a doubly stochastic form. We also demonstrate the ...

      Distributed network size estimation and average degree estimation and control in networks isomorphic to directed graphs 

      Shames, I.; Charalambous, T.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Johansson, M. (2012)
      Many properties of interest in graph structures are based on the nodes' average degree (i.e., the average number of edges incident to/from each node). In this work, we present asynchronous distributed algorithms, based on ...

      Distributed resource coordination in networked systems described by digraphs 

      Domínguez-Garcia, A. D.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2015)
      We consider a multicomponent system in which each component can receive/transmit information from/to components in its immediate neighborhood. Communication links between components are not required to be bidirectional, ...

      Distributed stopping for average consensus in directed graphs via a randomized event-triggered strategy 

      Manitara, N. E.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (IEEE Computer Society, 2014)
      We consider how an iterative strategy for asymptotic average consensus in a directed graph (digraph) can be adapted so that the nodes can determine, in a distributed manner, a stopping criterion that allows them to terminate ...
