Abstract
For the multiagent networks with arbitrary-order identical agents and nonlinear uncertain couplings, satisfying the sector inequalities consideration was given to the problem of reaching consensus (asymptotic synchronization) The network topology was assumed to be time-invariant. A frequency-domain consensus criterion extending the Popov criterion for the absolute stability of Lurie systems with one scalar-valued nonlinearity was proposed.
