Abstract
This paper presents coordination algorithms for networks of mobile
autonomous agents. The objective of the proposed algorithms is to
achieve rendezvous, that is, agreement over the location of the
agents in the network. We provide analysis and design results for
multi-agent networks in arbitrary dimensions under weak requirements
on the switching and failing communication topology. The novel
correctness proof relies on proximity graphs and their properties and
on a general LaSalle Invariance Principle for nondeterministic
discrete-time dynamical systems.
