Abstract
In this chapter, it is shown how a multi-agent system (MAS) can acquire a desired homogeneous deformation in \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\) (prescribed by n + 1 leaders) through local communication. For this purpose, two communication protocols are developed. The first protocol, that is called minimum communication, allows each follower to communicate only with n + 1 local agents. Under this protocol, communication weights
