Abstract(in English) How to reach a consensus is an important problem for multiagent networks. In the most well-known consensus algorithm proposed by Olfati-Saber and Murray, the state value of each agent varies continuously depending on those of other agents and converges to the average of the initial state values of all agents. In addition, the convegence rate is determined by the algebraic connectivity of the grath representing the interaction between agents. In this study, we consider the problem of finding a graph that maximizes the algebraic connectivity under a given degree sequence. First, we prove that each complete multipartite graph has the highest algebraic connectivity among all graphs with the same degree sequence. Next, we derive a lower bound for the algebraic connectivities of graphs that are obtained from a complete multipartite graph by applying a 2-switch. Finally, we propose 2-switch-based local search algorithms for finding algebraic connectivity locally maximizing graphs and evaluate their effectiveness experimentally.
