Abstract
This paper uses recently established properties of compositions of directed graphs together with results from the theory of nonhomogeneous Markov chains to derive worst case convergence rates for the headings of a group of mobile autonomous agents which arise in connection with the widely studied Vicsek consensus problem. The paper also uses graph-theoretic constructions to solve modified versions of the Vicsek problem in which there are measurement delays, asynchronous events, or a group leader. In all three cases the conditions under which consensus is achieved prove to be almost the same as the conditions under which consensus is achieved in the synchronous, delay-free, leaderless case.
