Distributed Neighbor Selection
Less Connected but Better Performance

In this thread of works, we ask:
How the convergence rate of a diffusively coupled multi-agent network can be drammatically enhanced with less communication links?
We have established the following results:
- Global network connectivity guarantee via distributed neighbor selection.
- Convergence rate of the on the multi-agent system on the simplified network can be drammatically enhanced.
