A novel model and behavior analysis for a swarm of multi-agent systems with finite velocity

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/23/9/098901

Abstract Inspired by the fact that in most existing swarm models of multi-agent systems the velocity of an agent can be infinite, which is not in accordance with the real applications, we propose a novel swarm model of multi-agent systems where the velocity of an agent is finite. The Lyapunov function method and LaSalle's invariance principle are employed to show that by using the proposed model all of the agents eventually enter into a bounded region around the swarm center and finally tend to a stationary state. Numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Keywords: multi-agent systems swarm finite velocity attraction and repulsion
