Average consensus of multi-agent systems under logarithm quantized communications

In this paper, the average consensus problem of multi-agent systems under logarithm quantized communication is investigated. The logarithm quantizer with finite quantization levels is considered. A sufficient condition is derived to ensure the convergence of the multi-agent system. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the result obtained in this paper.
