Abstract

We introduce the total s-energy of a multiagent system and bound its maximum asymptotic value. This gives us a new analytical device to study the convergence rate of bidirectional agreement dynamics. We use it to bound the convergence rate of dynamical systems for synchronization, flocking, opinion dynamics, and social epistemology.
