More precisely, we use positive definite matrices to denote full multi-dimensional interconnections, while using nonnegative definite matrices to denote partial multi-dimensional interconnections. We prove that the generalized graph Laplacian inherits the spectral properties of the graph Laplacian. As an application, we use the generalized graph Laplacian to establish a distributed consensus algorithm for agents described by multi-dimensional integrators.}, type={artykuł}, title={A generalization of the graph Laplacian with application to a distributed consensus algorithm}, keywords={graph Laplacian, generalized graph Laplacian, adjacency weights, distributed consensus algorithm, cooperative control}, }
