Consensus for Clusters of Agents with Cooperative and Antagonistic Relationships
In this paper we address the consensus problem in the context of networked agents whose communication graph can be split into a certain number of clusters in such a way that interactions between agents in the same clusters are cooperative, while interactions between agents belonging to different clusters are antagonistic. This problem set-up arises in the context of social networks and opinion dynamics, where reaching consensus means that the opinions of the agents in the same cluster converge to the same decision. The consensus problem is here investigated under the assumption that agents in the same cluster have the same constant and pre-fixed amount of trust (/distrust) to be distributed among their cooperators (/adversaries). The proposed solution establishes how much agents in the same group must be conservative about their opinions in order to converge to a common decision.

Tripartite and Sign Consensus for Clustering Balanced Social Networks
In this paper, we address two forms of consensus for multi-agent systems with undirected, signed, weighted, and connected communication graphs, under the assumption that the agents can be partitioned into three clusters,…
