Abstract: We study the performance of leader-follower noisy consensus networks, and in particular, the relationship between this performance and the locations of the leader nodes. Two types of dynamics are considered (1) noise-free leaders, in which leaders dictate the trajectory exactly and followers are subject to external disturbances, and (2) noise-corrupted leaders, in which both leaders and followers are subject to external perturbations. We measure the performance of a network by its coherence, an norm that quantifies how closely the followers track the leaders' trajectory. For both dynamics, we show a relationship between the coherence and resistance distances in an a electrical network. Using this relationship, we derive closed-form expressions for coherence as a function of the locations of the leaders. Further, we give analytical solutions to the optimal leader selection problem for several special classes of graphs.
