Consensus of a modified time-delayed Vicsek model

A multi-agent system (MAS) is a system composed of multiple interacting intelligent agents. Over the past few years, the consensus (or synchronization) of MAS has received an increasing attention in various disciplines. It is well known that Vicsek model is a classical model for describing the collective behaviors of MAS. This paper further investigates the consensus of a modified time-delayed Vicsek model. It should be especially pointed out that the common connectivity assumption for the consensus of MAS has been removed in this paper. Moreover, two simple consensus criteria are then attained for the consensus of a modified time-delayed Vicsek model
