Why is it important?

The paper is the first one to study consensus with nonnegative matrix weights. The cluster consensus achieved by matrix-weighted consensus is novel. Matrix-weighted consensus has applications in network localization, formation control, attitude synchronization, modeling social networks.

Perspectives

Many distributed/decentralized control problems lead to a consensus protocol with matrix weights. The matrix weights can be the rotation matrices, projection matrices, etc. A unique feature of matrix-weighted consensus is clustering phenomenon, which can happen even though the graph is connected.
