摘要：Distributed dynamic compensators play a key role in the output consensus problem of heterogeneous nonlinear multiagent systems. The existing distributed dynamic compensators require the compensators' information to be exchanged through communication networks and to satisfy additional stability conditions in the controller design. This article proposes a distributed dynamic compensator to address the adaptive output consensus problem of heterogeneous nonlinear multiagent systems with unknown pa...

摘要：In this article, we address the path-wise control of systems described by a set of nonlinear stochastic differential equations. For this class of systems, we introduce a notion of stochastic relative degree and a change of coordinates, which transforms the dynamics to a stochastic normal form. The normal form is instrumental for the design of a state-feedback control, which linearizes and makes the dynamics deterministic. We observe that this control is idealistic, i.e., it is not practically ...

摘要：This article studies the adaptive optimal stationary control of continuous-time linear stochastic systems with both additive and multiplicative noises, using reinforcement learning techniques. Based on policy iteration, a novel off-policy reinforcement learning algorithm, named optimistic least-squares-based policy iteration, is proposed, which is able to find iteratively near-optimal policies of the adaptive optimal stationary control problem directly from input/state data without explicitly ...

摘要：This article studies the tracking control problem for unicycle mobile robots with event-triggered and self-triggered feedback. Based on a modified dynamic feedback linearization technique and a refined stability analysis, we first propose a new class of saturated sampled-data controllers for unicycle mobile robots of which the state is subject to sampling (measurement) errors. It is guaranteed that the generated control inputs are restricted to within desired ranges, and the unicycle trajector...

摘要：This article focuses on semistability and finite-time semistability analysis and synthesis of discrete-time dynamical systems having a continuum of equilibria. Semistability is the property whereby the solutions of a dynamical system converge to Lyapunov stable equilibrium points determined by the system initial conditions. In this article, we build on the theories of semistability and finite-time semistability for continuous-time dynamical systems to develop a rigorous framework for discrete ...

摘要：In this article, we consider the problem of modifying in a distributed way the transition probabilities of a Markov chain over an undirected graph in order to achieve a desired limiting distribution, while minimizing the variation from the current weights. This problem setting could be used to model a (graph-based) distributed decision-making process where static agents, e.g., elements of Internet of Things (IoT) networks, are required to achieve a common objective while adapting to different ...

摘要：In this two-part article, we develop a unifying framework for the analysis of the feasibility of the power flow equations for dc power grids with constant-power loads. In Part I of this article, we present a detailed introduction to the problem of power flow feasibility of such power grids, and the associated problem of selecting a desirable operating point which satisfies the power flow equations. We introduce and identify all long-term voltage semistable operating points, and show that there...

摘要：In this article, we propose a novel reference governor (RG) scheme for prestabilized linear sampled-data systems to satisfy pointwise-in-time constraints in the presence of bounded disturbances and uncertain input and/or measurement delays. Based on an explicit bound on the system response to step changes in the reference signal derived using the logarithmic norm, this RG scheme yields a closed-form solution for updating the reference signal at sample time instants that guarantees both sample-...

摘要：In this article, we study the synthesis of mode switching protocols for a class of discrete-time switched linear systems in which the mode jumps are governed by Markov decision processes (MDPs). We call such systems MDP-JLS for brevity. Each state of the MDP corresponds to a mode in the switched system. The probabilistic state transitions in the MDP represent the mode transitions. We focus on finding a policy that selects the switching actions at each mode such that the switched system is guar...

摘要：A discrete event system is said to be critically observable if the observer can always determine whether the current state necessarily belongs to a set of critical states. This article focuses on two issues related to the safety and security of discrete event systems, namely critical observability verification and enforcement of labeled Petri nets. First, given a bounded net, we verify its critical observability by using basis markings and solving some integer linear programming problems, thus...
