Robotic Surveillance and Markov Chains With Minimal Weighted Kemeny Constant
TL;DR: Analysis and optimization results for the mean first passage time of a Markov chain and it is shown that the minimization of the Kemeny constant and its weighted counterpart can be formulated as convex optimization problems and, moreover, as semidefinite programs.

Convergence properties of the heterogeneous Deffuant-Weisbuch model
TL;DR: This paper solves the convergence problem for the heterogeneous DW model with the weighting factor not less than $1/2 and establishes that, for any positive confidence bounds and initial values, the opinion of each agent will converge to a limit value almost surely, and the convergence rate is exponential in mean square.

TL;DR: The minimizers of the economic dispatch problem are in one-to-one correspondence with the set of steady-states reachable by droop control, and this equivalence results in simple guidelines to select the droop coefficients, which include the known criteria for load sharing.
Stabilization of relative equilibria for underactuated systems on Riemannian manifolds
TL;DR: A general methodology based on Riemannian geometry tools provides exponential stabilization over the full phase space through potential shaping and damping control of steady motions of mechanical systems with symmetry.
