ab: Summary: The structure and collective behavior of affine nonlinear
    multi-agent dynamic system under directed networks are discussed. The
    system can be decomposed into some basic subsystems; some of them are
    independent from the others and some are not. Each basic independent
    subsystem will reach its own consensus state. The state of each agent
    in the nonindependent subsystems will go inside of a convex set, which
    is formed by the consensus states of basic independent subsystems. The
    states of all agents in system reach consensus if and only if there is
    only one independent subsystem in the system. This result also covers
    the results of previous works on linear multi-agent dynamic systems.
