Abstract

This work explores the properties of the edge variant of the graph Laplacian in the context of the edge agreement problem. We show that the edge Laplacian, and its corresponding agreement protocol, provide a useful perspective on the well-known node agreement, or the consensus problem. Specifically, the dynamics induced by the edge Laplacian facilitates a better understanding of the role played by certain subgraphs, e.g., cycles and spanning trees, in the original agreement problem. We also point out a reduced order modeling of the edge agreement as parameterized by the spanning trees of the underlying graph.
