Consensus in Asynchronous Multiagent Systems. II. Method of Joint Spectral Radius

We describe mathematical methods for analyzing the stability, stabilizability and consensus of linear multiagent systems with discrete time. These methods are based on the idea of using the notion of joint/generalized spectral radius of matrix sets to analyze the rate of convergence of matrix products with factors from the sets of matrices with special properties. This is a continuation of the survey by the same authors named “Consensus in Asynchronous Multiagent Systems”; the first part was published in [1].
