Abstract
As we all know, consensus problems of multi-agent networks have attracted more and more attention recent years. In these related papers, many cases of networks have been studied, including directed and undirected networks, fixed and switching topology, with communication time-delay and no time-delay. However, those papers have not discussed the real systems. And in this paper, we will discuss the DM (Delta Modulation) system network, a real complex system with encode and decode modules in each agent. DM system is widely used in the A/D and D/A modules, and the signal encoded is transmitted during the communication channels. From a practical system, I try to extract the abstract signal relationship, and find the consensus problems in real system. Following, through a new method, main point we discussed is actually the undirected discrete-time DM networks with different time-delays created by the communication constraints.
