Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The authors present a new way to solve the problem of leader-following consensus when the follower input is quantized by the newly-proposed dynamic quantizer. This dynamic quantizer leads to combines the logarithmic quantizer and the uniform quantizer.

Some comments:

The manuscript should be proofread to correct the many English spelling, typos and grammar errors (e.g., some unnecessary capitalization like "FIGURE").  The abstract does not capture in sufficient detail the novelty proposed, nor the quantitative results and their significance. Proposed work should be put shortly in context, in 2-3 lines, then state the primary objective and list any tested hypotheses. Describe your research design and methodology concisely and accurately (150-200 words) with a focus on proposed novelties with sufficient details on conditions, assumptions, and specific method features that differentiate your proposal from the state-of-the-art. Conclusions should be supported by the results.

In conclusion, the paper fits with the scope of the journal and is well written. I only suggest authors do a minor revision, following the indications outlined above.

Reviewer 2 Report

The subject treated in this paper is original, and the authors provided very sufficient details in their introduction to explain the usefulness of their approach, while the rest of the paper that includes the theoretical part, is clear enough.

The authors should consider the following minor suggestions

line 14: what is gwcf? The 4 words should be provided in details while the abbreviation to be included after between parentheses.


line 16-17: The reader can not get the meaning of your sentence, many words repeated ! It should be modified and be very clear.


line 18: approaches or approached?


line 30-31: meaning of sentence, is incomplete.


line 38: it is better than it's here.


line 59-60: looks something missing, a comma maybe before the dynamic.


line 108: introduce without s. "in" [31]
