Abstract

For leader-follower multi-agent systems (MAS), the selection of informed-agents is crucial to the convergence rate of the MAS. In this paper, the resistance distance centrality (RDC) of agents is applied to determine a set of informed-agents with specific scale, so that the convergence rate of the MAS is maximum. For a MAS with only one leader, we find that the follower agent with minimum value of RDC is the best informed-agent. For a connected undirected network with N followers, an iterative algorithm with running time mN3 is designed for determining m informed-agents. Simulations are carried out to manifest the validity of the approach.
