Abstract
During the past years, distributed coordination for networked dynamical systems has been an active area of research. This is due to the broad applications in such areas as sensor networks, smart grids, rendezvous tasks, swarming and flocking, and congestion control in communication networks.

Notes
- 1.
We use “agents” and “systems” interchangeablely in this book.
- 2.
In this book, the terms interaction topology, network topology and communication graph are used interchangeably.
- 3.
\(\mathcal {G}\) is infinite since the set consisting of the weighting factors is infinite. However, there are only finite different topological structures in \(\mathcal {G}\).
