• An Overview of Recent Progress in the Study of Distributed Multi-Agent Coordination (2012, background): “The main approach to maintaining the connectivity of a team o f agents is to define some artificial potentials (between any pair of agents) in a proper way such t hat if two agents are neighbors initially then they will always communicate with each other thereafte r [206], [219]–[228].”
• Distributed average computation for multiple time‐varying signals with output measurements (2016, background): “Different from [4] and [8], where the nonlinear signum function was applied to the whole neighborhood (node-based algorithm), while the proposed algorithms in this paper are designed along the edge-based framework.”

• Distributed control gains design for consensus in multi-agent systems with second-order nonlinear dynamics (2013, background): “In most cases, secondorder consensus can be reached if the coupling gains and the spectra of the Laplacian matrix satisfy some additional conditions (Cao & Ren, 2012; Hong et al., 2008; Ren, 2008; Yu, Chen, & Cao, 2010; Yu, Chen, Cao, & Kurths, 2010; Zhang & Tian, 2009), for example, second-order…”
