Summary:
This paper addresses a discrete-time consensus problem of multi-agent systems. In our model, each agent has multiple state variables instead of a scalar one. A performance value of each agent is evaluated by a nonlinear performance function based on its state. We consider conditions for agents to achieve consensus on the performance value using the algebraic graph theory and the mean value theorem. The proposed method is applied to multiresource allocation for a group of agents to achieve performance equalization.
