consensus algorithms constitute a powerful tool for computing average values or coordinating agents in many distributed applications. Unfortunately, the same property that allows this computation (i.e., the nontrivial nullspace of the state matrix) leads to unbounded state variance in the presence of measurement errors. In this work, we explore the trade-off between relative and absolute communication (feedback) in the presence of measurement errors. We evaluate the robustness of first and second order integrator systems under a parameterized family of controllers (homotopy), that continuously trade between relative and absolute feedback interconnections, in terms of the H-2 norm of an appropriately defined input-output system. Our approach extends the previous H-2 norm based analysis to systems with directed feedback interconnections whose underlying weighted graph Laplacians are diagonalizable. Our results indicate that any level of absolute communication is sufficient to achieve a finite H-2 norm, but purely relative feedback can only achieve finite norms when the measurement error is not exciting the subspace associated with the consensus state. Numerical examples demonstrate that smoothly reducing the proportion of absolute feedback in double integrator systems smoothly decreases the system performance (increases the H-2 norm) and that this performance degradation is more rapid in systems with relative feedback in only the first state (position).

Blockchain has emerged as an important technology, offering safe, decentralized, and transparent platforms for recording and validating transactions. Blockchain technology consist of several main components, i.e., consensus algorithm. The consensus algorithm guarantees that all participating nodes in a blockchain network agree over the data control. Traditional consensus methods, such as Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS), present issues in terms of energy consumption and attack vulnerability. To overcome these constraints, there has been a rising interest in incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, especially deep learning, into blockchain consensus algorithms. We highlight blockchain fundamentals in this article, while also stressing the importance of the consensus algorithm. Furthermore, we address the most recent advancements in blockchain consensus methods in both performance-based and reputation-based paradigm, emphasizing the use of AI inside these decentralized systems. The use of AI, especially deep learning, in consensus algorithms has the potential to overcome the limitations of previous techniques. Blockchain networks may improve its performance by employing AI capabilities. However, incorporating AI into blockchain consensus algorithms is having its own challenges. Therefore, we also highlight several issues related with AI-based techniques in blockchain consensus algorithms, such as dealing with the quality and variety of data utilized by consensus algorithms and maintaining the openness of the AI models. In addition to those challenges, we propose a future direction for the AI-based approach in blockchain, which includes merging the mechanisms of performance-based and reputation-based consensus algorithms to incorporate the merits of both methods.

This paper delves into the consensus algorithm and multi-model algorithm within sensor networks. To enhance the tracking capabilities for maneuvering targets, extending tracking from single sensors to a multi-sensor network becomes imperative. However, due to measurement errors among sensors, the algorithmic outputs from different sensors often exhibit inconsistencies. To ensure consensus among these results, a consensus algorithm is introduced. Information transmission between sensor networks relies on this consensus algorithm. Additionally, the fusion algorithm for each sensor is executed through the multi-model algorithm.

Blockchain technology is a new shift in the Internet world, it has brought about changes in many sectors. Where transactions can be securely accomplished via point-to-point connections in a distributed system without the need for a third-party, with the help of consensus algorithms. In this paper, we will conduct a comprehensive survey on the Blockchain technology with focusing in the popular consensus algorithms, in order to figure out their features, and the factors that affect the performance and security. Also, we will provide a classification of the consensus algorithms and we will perform a comprehensive comparison of studied consensus algorithms. In addition, we will provide a detailed discussion of the consensus algorithms that studied with an analysis of the main factors affecting these algorithms. Finally, we will refer to some recommendations that must be considered and which can contribute to the development of this area.

In this paper, we study the consensus problem for agents with parametric uncertainties interacting over matrix-weighted graphs. First, an adaptive matrix-weighted consensus algorithms for single-integrator agents is proposed and then extended to double- and higher-order integrator agents. Second, adaptive model-reference adaptive matrix-weighted consensus and its robustness are discussed. For each proposed consensus algorithm, conditions for the adaptive variables to converge to the uncertain parameters are also given. Finally, applications of the proposed consensus algorithms in displacement-based network localization and formation control are discussed and demonstrated by simulations.

The diverse range of consensus algorithms poses a challenge in selecting the most suitable one for practical application scenarios. Addressing the lack of quantitative performance comparison among consortium blockchain consensus algorithms, this paper quantifies key performance indicators in consensus algorithm evaluation. Furthermore, it designs a performance evaluation framework and employs it to conduct theoretical and empirical analyses of mainstream consensus algorithms in consortium blockchains. Finally, the paper outlines the advantages and limitations of each consensus algorithm and identifies the factors constraining their performance.

Maintaining data consistency in distributed computing is essential to maintain system reliability. To this end, many consensus techniques that can maintain data consistency even if a failure occurs are being studied, and research is being conducted on consensus techniques for Byzantine failures that can occur in unreliable public networks. In this paper, we introduce Byzantine fault tolerance consensus techniques: Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance, High performance and Scalable Byzantine Fault Tolerance, and Zyzzyva. And we evaluate the performance of them. Afterward, directions for future research are presented.

Almost all real world activities have been digitized and there are various client server architecture based systems in place to handle them. These are all based on trust on third parties. There is an active attempt to successfully implement blockchain based systems which ensures that the IT systems are immutable, double spending is avoided and cryptographic strength is provided to them. A successful implementation of blockchain as backbone of existing information technology systems is bound to eliminate various types of fraud and ensure quicker delivery of the item on trade. To adapt IT systems to blockchain architecture, an efficient consensus algorithm need to be designed. Blockchain based on proof of work first came up as the backbone of cryptocurrency. After this, several other methods with variety of interesting features have come up. In this paper, we conduct a survey on existing attempts to achieve consensus in block chain. A federated consensus method and a proof of validation method are being compared.

In any blockchain network, a consensus algorithm is considered a major factor in determining the performance of the network. This study aims to investigate consensus algorithms in healthcare blockchains for electronic health record (EHR) sharing by analyzing the scalability performance of these algorithms. Several consensus algorithms have been proposed in the literature and have been used for various types of blockchain networks. Herein, we analyze the performance of proof of work, practical Byzantine fault tolerance, and proof of authority (PoA) algorithms in the healthcare domain and propose an improved real-time PoA consensus algorithm for EHR sharing for faster consensus and block generation. Results of performed simulations show that the proposed algorithm outperforms previous consensus algorithms in terms of consensus time, number of blocks generated, network throughput, and scalability.
