We study second-order consensus dynamics with random additive disturbances. We focus on three different performance measures: the steady-state variance of pairwise differences between vertex states, the steady-state variance of the deviation of each vertex state from the average, and the total steady-state variance of the system. We show that these performance measures are closely related to the biharmonic distance; the square of the biharmonic distance plays similar role in the system performance as resistance distance plays in the performance of first-order noisy consensus dynamics. We further define the new concepts of biharmonic distance index and vertex centrality based on the biharmonic distance. Finally, we derive analytical results for the performance measures and concepts for complete graphs, star graphs, cycles, and paths, and use this analysis to compare the asymptotic behavior of the steady-variance in first- and second-order systems.
