Monitoring Link Faults in Nonlinear Diffusively-coupled Networks
Fault detection and isolation is an area of engineering dealing with designing on-line protocols for systems that allow one to identify the existence of faults, pinpoint their exact location, and overcome them. We consider the case of multi-agent systems, where faults correspond to the disappearance of links in the underlying graph, simulating a communication failure between the corresponding agents. We study the case in which the agents and controllers are maximal equilibrium-independent passive (MEIP), and use the known connection between steady-states of these multi-agent systems and network optimization theory. We first study asymptotic methods of differentiating the faultless system from its faulty versions by studying their steady-state outputs. We explain how to apply the asymptotic differentiation to detect and isolate communication faults, with graph-theoretic guarantees on the number of faults that can be isolated, assuming the existence of a "convergence assertion protocol", a data-driven method of asserting that a multi-agent system converges to a conjectured limit. We then construct two data-driven model-based convergence assertion protocols. We demonstrate our results by a case study.

Strong Sign Controllability of Diffusively-Coupled Networks
This paper presents several conditions to determine strong sign controllability for diffusively-coupled undirected networks. The strong sign controllability is determined by the sign patterns (positive, negative, zero) o…
Identification of diffusively coupled linear networks through structured polynomial models
Physical dynamic networks most commonly consist of interconnections of physical components that can be described by diffusive couplings. These diffusive couplings imply that the cause-effect relationships in the intercon…

This paper deals with the problem of robust fault estimation for the Lipschitz nonlinear systems under the influence of sensor faults and actuator faults. In the proposed methodology, a descriptor system is formulated by…
On the Internal Stability of Diffusively Coupled Multi-Agent Systems and the Dangers of Cancel Culture
We study internal stability in the context of diffusively-coupled control architectures, common in multi-agent systems (i.e. the celebrated consensus protocol), for linear time-invariant agents. We derive a condition und…
