H-2 Performance of Series-Parallel Networks: A Compositional Perspective
We examine the H-2 norm of matrix-weighted leader-follower consensus on series-parallel networks. By using an extension of electrical network theory on matrix-valued resistances, voltages, and currents, we show that the computation of the H-2 norm can be performed efficiently by decomposing the network into atomic elements and composition rules. Finally, we examine the problem of efficiently adapting the matrix-valued edge weights to optimize the H-2 norm of the network.
