• Deep Reinforcement Learning for Swarm Systems (2018, methodology): “Yet, these approaches typically use simplified models of the agents and of the task and often rely on unrealistic assumptions, such as operating in a connected graph [Dimarogonas and Kyriakopoulos, 2007] or having full observability of the system state [Zhou et al., 2016].”
• Distributed Adaptive Control of Synchronization in Complex Networks (2012, background): “Another common example of consensus is the rendezvous problem, in which a group of agents meets in a certain manner at a selected point in space, each using only local information about the positions of its nearest neighbors (see [23], [24]).”
