Query: A Study on Accelerating Average Consensus Algorithms Using Delayed
  Feedback   In this paper, we study accelerating a Laplacian-based dynamic average
consensus algorithm by splitting the conventional delay-free disagreement
feedback into weighted summation of a current and an outdated term. We
determine for what weighted sum there exists a range of time delay that results
in the higher rate of convergence for the algorithm. For such weights, using
the Lambert W function, we obtain the rate increasing range of the time delay,
the maximum reachable rate and comment on the value of the corresponding
maximizer delay. We also study the effect of use of outdated feedback on the
control effort of the agents and show that only for some specific affine
combination of the immediate and outdated feedback the control effort of the
agents does not go beyond that of the delay-free algorithm. Additionally, we
demonstrate that using outdated feedback does not increase the steady state
tracking error of the average consensus algorithm. Lastly, we determine the
optimum combination of the current and the outdated feedback weights to achieve
the maximum increase in the rate of convergence without increasing the control
effort of the agents. We demonstrate our results through a numerical example.
