Nonlinear consensus protocols with applications to quantized systems

• This paper studies multi-agent systems with nonlinear consensus protocols, i.e., only nonlinear measurements of the states are available to agents. The solutions of these systems are understood in Filippov sense since the possible discontinuity of the nonlinear controllers. Under the condition that the nonlinear functions are monotonic increasing without any continuous constraints, asymptotic stability is derived for systems defines on both directed and undirected graphs. The results can be applied to quantized consensus which extend some existing results from undirected graphs to directed ones.
