Evaluation of Fault Isolability in Multi-Agent Systems

This paper analyzes the isolability of faults in networked systems, modeled as multi-agent systems where agents exchange information, forming a graph-like structure. We begin by examining the isolability of various fault types, including sen- sor faults, actuator faults, and faults in the connections between agents. We then present necessary and sufficient conditions that offer specific criteria for assessing fault isolability in the system, along with results for some particular cases. Finally, numerical examples are provided to validate our findings
