Abstract

The present paper investigates the robustness of the consensus protocol over weighted directed graphs using the Nyquist criterion. The limit to which a single weight can vary, while consensus among the agents can be achieved, is explicitly derived. It is shown that even with a negative weight on one of the edges, consensus may be achieved. The result obtained in this paper is applied to a directed acyclic graph and to the directed cycle graph. Graph theoretic interpretations of the limits are provided for the two cases. Simulations support the theoretical results.
