Stabilization Methods for a Multiagent System with Complex Behaviours

Pseudocode 2

External test for stability.
procedure ExternalStabilityTest
input:  agents: the list of agents with a history of their utility function values
output: stability (true or false) and the period of the overall behaviour if the system is stable

 periodList = empty list
 for each agent in agents do
  add utilityPeriod() to periodList
 end for
 lcm = least common multiple of elements in periodList
 return (true, lcm)
