Abstract
The problem of continuous linear time varying consensus dynamics is addressed in the presence of constant commu- nication delays. We make a Fixed Point Theory argument with the use of contraction mappings and we state sucient conditions for exponential convergence to a consensus value with prescribed convergence rate.
