Asynchronous Max-Consensus Protocol With Time Delays: Convergence Results and Applications

This paper deals with the analysis of the convergence properties of the max-consensus protocol in presence of asynchronous updates and bounded time delays on directed static networks. The work is motivated by real-world applications in distributed decision-making systems, for which max-consensus is an effective paradigm. The main result of this paper is that the strongly connectedness of the directed communication network is a sufficient...
