Based on convex analysis, a novel consensus algorithm of dynamical points in a CAT(0) space is developed in this paper, in which the associated communication graph uniformly contains a directed spanning tree. The proposed algorithm provides an efficient method of solving consensus problems in a general CAT(0) space, while having certain robustness against weak communication. The application of the new algorithm to the distributed fusion of phylogenetic trees is shown with demonstrative-case simulations, together with a study on the algorithm's robustness and efficiency.

Blockchain technology, which was originally created for cryptocurrencies, has significant research gaps when applied to the healthcare domain. This paper tackles two important research gaps concerning blockchain implementation in healthcare: consensus algorithm and network design. While public blockchains are often undesirable for healthcare due to their inherent characteristics, private blockchains provide a more acceptable option. The major goal of this study is to offer an improved consensus algorithm and a blockchain network design that is tailored to healthcare requirements. The suggested system attempts to increase security, scalability, and decentralisation while tackling the unique constraints of maintaining sensitive patient data across a distributed network.

The blockchain is a distributed ledger that records all transactions and operations in a shared manner. Public blockchains such as Bitcoin realize decentralization at the cost of mining overhead, which is not suitable for real-life scenarios requiring high throughput. Techniques such as the consortium blockchain improve efficiency through partial decentralization. However, the consensus algorithms used in the existing state-of-the-art consortium blockchains face many challenges when dealing with commercial applications. For example, the high communication overhead hinders the scalability of PBFT-based consensus algorithms even though they are efficient at small scale. Hashgraph, one of the most popular Directed Acyclic Graph-based (DAG-based) consensus algorithms, achieves good performance in scalability;however, it does not allow users' dynamic participation. To deal with these challenges, we propose Jointgraph, a Byzantine fault-tolerance consensus algorithm for consortium blockchains based on DAG. In Jointgraph, transactions are packed into events and validated by no less than 2/3 of all members. A supervisor is introduced in our design, who monitors member behaviors and improves consensus efficiency. Simulation results demonstrate that Jointgraph outperforms Hashgraph in both throughput and latency.

In this paper, we propose Tree-chain a fast scalable consensus algorithm that bases the validator selection on an existing function in relatively all existing blockchains: hash function output. Tree-chain is a leader selection consensus algorithm that moves away from a linear blockchain structure, to a tree-structured blockchain where each branch is managed by a particular validator. Each validator is periodically allocated to a random consensus code range which matches specific patterns of the most significant bits of the hash function output. Each validator is then responsible for transactions whose hash falls within the consensus code allocated to the validator. Because transactions are allocated deterministically to validators based on random consensus code allocations, Tree-chain eliminates the significant inefficiency of conventional blockchains for validator selection, such as proof-of work. Tree-chain does not require the validators to follow any additional algorithms before committing blocks which in turn significantly increases its throughput. Implementation results show that Tree-chain can run on small tiny IoT devices with limited resources which in turn highlights its resource efficiency.

This paper presents results on the convergence time of a previously proposed algorithm to solve the distributed task assignment problem on a network of agents. The considered algorithm consists in iterative local integer linear optimizations among the agents to cooperatively assign a set of tasks. Local optimizations are performed among a subset of randomly chosen neighboring agents. This paper discusses a simulation study on the number of iterations and time required by the algorithm to find the best task assignment given the limited information available at each iteration. Simulations on large and small networks with local optimizations that involve a varying number of agents have been performed.

A distributed cooperative control strategy based on the consensus algorithm is proposed for the voltage regulation and load distribution in DC microgrid. Global information can be accurately shared in a distributed fashion by using a consensus protocol. At the secondary control level, the average voltage and current controllers are used in each converter to generate two correction terms to adjust the voltage set point for the local droop controller. Using this method can achieve DC bus voltage recovery and eliminate average voltage deviation, while ensuring proportional load sharing among sources. By introducing a proportional adjustment link in the current controller, the load sharing is optimized while balancing the cost of power generation. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified by detailed MATLAB / Simulink simulation.

A consensus algorithm for coordinated control of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) is studied. The USVs have different driving directions and initial velocities, so the consensus algorithm is needed to coordinate the directions and velocities of the USVs. Firstly, based on the first order linear model of USVs, get the first order nonlinear differential equations of high frequency, and the simulate environment of USVs. Then, based on the Vicsek model, the consensus algorithm in cooperative control of USVs is proposed. Aiming at the problem that USV's angular velocity lags behind the rudder angle, this paper improves the traditional PD control method, and adopts cascade PID control. So, USV can reach the same driving direction in a shorter time. Finally, simulations prove that the algorithm is feasible and compare the difference of efficiency between the PD controller and the cascade PID controller.
