  • Abstract
    This paper studies the cohesion of multi-agent swarms moving under the control of a consensus filter. This paper´s main result shows that swarming under consensus is cohesive. We establish specific bounds on the degree of cohesion and consensus as a function of the attraction/repulsion fields, swarm size, and connectivity in the communication network
