This article studies accelerating a Laplacian-based dynamic average consensus algorithm by splitting the conventional delay-free disagreement feedback into a weighted summation of current and outdated terms. When determining the weighted sum, there is a range of time delay that results in a higher convergence rate for the algorithm. For such weights, using the Lambert W function, we obtain the rate-increasing range of the time delay, obtain the maximum reachable rate, and characterize the value of the corresponding maximizer delay. We also study the effect of using the outdated feedback on the control effort of the agents. We show that only for some specific affine combination of the immediate and outdated feedback, the control effort of the agents does not go beyond that of the delay-free algorithm. In addition, we demonstrate that using outdated feedback does not increase the steady-state tracking error of the average consensus algorithm. Finally, we determine the optimum combination of the current and the outdated feedback weights to achieve the maximum increase in the rate of convergence without increasing the control effort of the agents. We demonstrate our results through a numerical example.

The problems discussed in this article are motivated by general ratio consensus algorithms, introduced by Kempe et al. in 2003 in a simple form as the push-sum algorithm, later extended by Benezit et al. in 2010 under the name weighted gossip algorithm. We consider a communication protocol described by a strictly stationary, ergodic, sequentially primitive sequence of nonnegative matrices, applied iteratively to a pair of fixed initial vectors, the components of which are called values and weights defined at the nodes of a network. The subject of ratio consensus problems is to study the asymptotic properties of ratios of values and weights at each node, expecting convergence to the same limit for all nodes. The main results of this article provide upper bounds for the rate of the almost sure exponential convergence in terms of the spectral gap associated with the given sequence of random matrices. It will be shown that these upper bounds are sharp. Our results complement previous results of Picci and Taylor in 2013 and Iutzeler et al. in 2013.

Blockchain has been applied in many fields to solve the problems of trust, security, efficiency benefiting from its tamper-proof and traceability of data. However, it is still necessary to consider the technical constraints that limit the large-scale application of blockchain: scalability, security, and decentralization cannot be achieved altogether. consensus algorithm is the core of blockchain, which determines the performance of blockchain system to a certain extent. The existing reviews or surveys mainly focus on processes of consensus algorithms, but fall short in covering the current trends and scenarios, thereby lacking intrinsic understanding of their design philosophy. In this paper, we propose a multi-dimensional tradeoff model and unearth various indicators of different dimensions to guide the construction of consensus algorithms. To summarize the existing efforts, we compare and analyze various classical consensus algorithms, and focus on the design principles of these algorithms under the multi-dimensional tradeoff model. According to different requirements, each algorithm has different tradeoffs. Furthermore, we provide different solutions for blockchain in different dimensions. Finally, we summarize the development trend of consensus design and the key technology prospects of blockchain. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first survey that accomplishes such goals.
