Control of quantized multi-agent systems with linear nearest neighbor rules: A finite field approach

Sundaram, S.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2010)

We study the problem of controlling a multi-agent system where each agent is only allowed to be in a discrete and finite set of states. Each agent is capable of updating its state based on the states of its neighbors, and ...

Information dissemination in networks via linear iterative strategies over finite fields

Sundaram, S.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2009)

Given an arbitrary network of interconnected nodes, each with an initial value from a discrete set, we consider the problem of distributively disseminating these initial values under the constraint that the nodes can only ...

Structural controllability and observability of linear systems over finite fields with applications to multi-agent systems

Sundaram, S.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2013)

We develop a graph-theoretic characterization of controllability and observability of linear systems over finite fields. Specifically, we show that a linear system will be structurally controllable and observable over a ...
