Abstract

The subject of this note is the algorithm of evolution of a point set on the plane devised in [5], which drives the whole set to a certain regular configuration. Generalizations of the algorithm are proposed and analyzed, certain new properties are studied, connections to formation control methods is discussed, and new simpler algorithms of this sort are proposed.
