Abstract :
In this paper, the passivity indices for both linear and nonlinear multi-agent systems with feedforward and feedback interconnections are derived. For linear systems, the passivity indices are explicitly characterized, while the passivity indices in the nonlinear case are characterized by a set of matrix inequalities. We also focus on symmetric interconnections and specialize the passivity indices results to this case. An illustrative example is also given.
