contents We introduce the problem of asymptotic subspace consensus, which requires the outputs of processes to converge onto a common subspace while remaining inside the convex hull of initial vectors.This is a relaxation of asymptotic consensus in which outputs have to converge to a single point, i.e., a zero-dimensional affine subspace. We give a complete characterization of the solvability of asymptotic subspace consensus in oblivious message adversaries. In particular, we show that a large class of algorithms used for asymptotic consensus gracefully degrades to asymptotic subspace consensus in distributed systems with weaker assumptions on the communication network. We also present bounds on the rate by which a lower-than-initial dimension is reached.
