Title: Consensus on the unit sphere and some related problems
Abstract: Connected dynamical systems may exhibit interesting collective behavior such as synchronization, where different entities or parts synchronize on some set. In this talk we focus on the set of unit vectors (or points on the unit sphere) as well as related sets. We look at protocols/algorithms chosen as (local) optimization algorithms (and related such methods) and investigate properties such as almost global convergence.
