Analysis and Design of Large-Scale Multi-Agent Systems via Continuum Spatial Approximations
Abstract
By exploiting a PDE modeling approach, we propose here to address relevant questions for thecoordination of multiple agents and network design. Our research plan is divided into two broadobjectives. On the one hand, we will consider problems related to large swarm self-organization,by which distributed algorithms are to be design so that the swarm achieves a desired densityprofile. By exploiting tools in Differential Geometry and harmonic mapping analysis, we expect toobtain new strategies that agents can use in GPS denied environments under different operationalconstraints on density, connectivity and agent motion. On the other hand, we will consider prob-lems associated with large network design for increased performance and robustness in multi-agentnetworked systems. By resorting to PDE operator theory and Calculus of Variations, we secondlyaim to design algorithms that can help identify critical sets of nodes for a variety of objectives thatquantify the performance of underlying dynamic processes.
