Abstract

There has been tremendous work on multi-agent systems (MAS) in recent years. MAS consist of multiple autonomous agents that interact with each order to solve a complex problem. Several applications of MAS can be found in computer networks, smart grids, and the modeling of complex systems. Despite numerous benefits, a significant challenge for MAS is achieving a consensus among agents in a shared target task, which is difficult without applying certain mathematical equations. Non-linear models offer better possibility of resolving consensus for MAS; however, existing non-linear models are considerably complicated and present no guarantees for achieving consensus. This paper proposes a non-linear mathematical model of semi symmetry quadratic operator (SSQO) in order to resolve the issue of consensus in networks of MAS. The model is based on stochastic quadratic operator theory, with added new notations. An important feature for the proposed model is low complexity, fast consensus, and a guaranteed capability to reach a consensus. We present an evaluation of the proposed SSQO model and comparison with other existing models. We demonstrate that an average consensus can be achieved with our model in addition to the emulation effects for the MAS consensus.
