摘要:We present a distributed model predictive control method, which enables a group of agents to compute their control inputs locally while communicating with their neighbors over a communication network. While many distributed model predictive control methods require a central station for some coordination or computation of the optimization variables, our method does not require a central station, making our approach applicable to a variety of communication network topologies. With our method, ea...

摘要:note is dedicated to a kind of partially observable linear-quadratic control problem with model uncertainty, where the coefficients of cost functional are uncertain representing different market conditions. By virtue of backward separation technique, stochastic maximum principle, as well as filtering method, a feedback form of candidate optimal control is designed. Moreover, through some delicate analysis, the existence of maximal reference probability lambda (& lowast;) is certified. A consid...

摘要:This note presents a reformed state-estimator-based adaptive control strategy for uncertain delayed semi-Markovian jump systems (DSMJS) via sliding-mode technique. In comparison to most literature results requiring exact prior knowledge of system time delay, a linear state estimator not linking any control inputs is developed to cope with the case with unknown state delays. By virtue of the acquired state estimation, the establishment of both a new switching surface of linear-type (SSL) and th...

摘要:A large class of decision making under uncertainty problems can be described via Markov decision processes (MDPs) or partially observable MDPs (POMDPs), with application to artificial intelligence and operations research, among others. In this article, we consider the problem of designing policies for MDPs and POMDPs with objectives and constraints in terms of dynamic coherent risk measures rather than the traditional total expectation, which we refer to as the constrained risk-averse problem....

摘要:In the absence of persistency of excitation (PE), referring to adaptive control systems as uniformly asymptotically stable typically indicates insufficient understanding of stability concepts. While the state is indeed regulated to zero and the parameter estimate has some limit, namely, the overall state converges to some equilibrium, the equilibrium reached is not unique (and not even necessarily stable) but is dependent on the initial condition. The equilibrium set in the absence of PE is no...

摘要:A static potential game is a noncooperative game for which there exists a fictitious function, also referred to as a potential function, whose optimizers provide a Nash equilibrium of the associated noncooperative game. In this article, we study nonzero-sum finite-horizon difference games with feedback information structure, which admit a potential game structure. We provide conditions for the existence of an optimal control problem such that the optimal solution of this problem provides a fee...

摘要:It is shown that strong convexity/concavity of a component of the vector field, as a function of the state variables, induces the same property on the corresponding component of the flow, as a function of the initial condition. Such an inherited property is then instrumental, for instance, for establishing several instability theorems, the proofs of which rely precisely on consequences of convexity/concavity of the flow with respect to the initial condition. Furthermore, the property of convex...

摘要:This note investigates a network optimization problem in which a group of agents cooperate to minimize a global function under the practical constraint of finite-bandwidth communication. We propose an adaptive encoding-decoding scheme to handle the quantization communication between agents. Based on this scheme, we develop a continuous-time quantized distributed primal-dual algorithm for the network optimization problem. Our algorithm achieves linear convergence to an exact optimal solution. F...

摘要:Control barrier function quadratic programs (QP) safety filters are pointwise minimizers of the control effort at a given state, i.e., myopically optimal at each time. But are they optimal over the entire infinite time horizon? What does it mean for a controlled system to be optimally safe as opposed to, conventionally optimally stable? When disturbances, deterministic and stochastic, have unknown upper bounds, how should safety be defined to allow a graceful degradation under disturbances? Ca...

摘要:This work shows that low-complexity prescribed performance control (PPC) can be used to realize leader-following consensus for uncertain second-order multiagent systems (MASs) with the powers of positive odd numbers, i.e., agents whose dynamics are a chain of integrators with positive odd powers. Low-complexity PPC is a control methodology whose strongest feature is its adaptation-free structural simplicity: uncertainty can be handled without estimation of unknown parameters nor approximation ...
