Multi-agent avoidance control using an m-matrix property

In this paper a generalization of avoidance control for multi-agent dynamic systems is presented. Strategies for avoidance control for multiple agents are obtained using individual Liapunov-type functions. The overall system avoidance conditions are guaranteed using a vector Liapunov-type function via an M-matrix property.
