Zusammenfassung:	This paper studies consensus problems for multi-agent systems defined on directed graphs where the consensus dynamics involves general nonlinear and discontinuous functions. Sufficient conditions, only involving basic properties of the nonlinear functions and the topology of the underlying graph, are derived for the agents to converge to consensus.
