Emerging Clapping Synchronization From a Complex Multiagent Network With Local Information via Local Control

Recently, complex multiagent networks have received increasing attention from various fields of science and engineering. Synchronization is a typical collective behavior of complex multiagent networks that has extensively been investigated over the last decade. To reveal the dynamical mechanism of synchronization in complex multiagent networks, a simple complex multiagent network with local information is then further investigated. Based on a suitable model, we analyze the inherent key factors in the emerging clapping synchronization. In particular, we explore two challenging fundamental questions: 1) How does the number of informed agents (or backbones) affect the emerging clapping synchronization? 2) How does the distribution of informed agents (or backbones) affect the emerging clapping synchronization? Our results indicate that the emerging clapping synchronization has a great diversity of routes, uncertainty, and adaptability. Moreover, our model and approach provide a possible route for analyzing the other collective behaviors of complex multiagent networks with local information via local control.
