摘要：This article develops a model predictive control (MPC) framework to co-optimize switching sequences and control inputs for switched linear systems subject to persistent dwell-time (PDT) constraints. As a class of time constraints, PDT has been demonstrated to be more general and flexible than others like dwell-time or average dwell-time. Although time constraints are widely used in applications for safety and stability concerns, MPC of switched systems with time constraints often formulates a ...

摘要：Average consensus is extensively used in distributed networks for computation and control, where all the agents constantly communicate with each other and update their states in order to reach an agreement. Under a general average consensus algorithm, information exchanged through wireless or wired communication networks could lead to the disclosure of sensitive and private information. In this article, we propose a privacy-preserving push-sum approach for directed networks that can protect th...

摘要：We introduce a novel definition of monotonicity, termed type-K in honor of Kamke, and study nonlinear type-K monotone dynamical systems possessing the plus-subhomogeneity property, which we call K-subtopical systems after Gunawardena and Keane. We show that type-K monotonicity, which is weaker than strong monotonicity, is also equivalent to monotonicity for smooth systems evolving in continuous-time but not in discrete-time. K-subtopical systems are proved to converge toward equilibrium points...

摘要：In this article, we consider the distributed channel access problem for a system consisting of multiple control subsystems that close their loop over a shared wireless network with multiple channels subject to Markovian packet dropouts. Provided that an acknowledgement/ negative-acknowledgement feedback mechanism is in place, we show that this problem can be formulated as a Markov decision process. We then transform this problem to a form that enables distributed control-aware channel access. ...

摘要：In this article, the event-triggered asymptotic tracking problem is considered for an uncertain linear system by using the model reference adaptive control approach. Different from the existing results, the control signal and the parameter estimator are event-triggered simultaneously for transmission, which brings difficulties in achieving the objective of both asymptotic stability and Zeno-free behavior. To overcome the difficulties, a novel dynamic event-triggered scheme is proposed, where t...

摘要：Empirical studies suggest a deep intertwining between opinion formation and decision-making processes, but these have been treated as separate problems in the study of dynamical models for social networks. In this article, we bridge the gap in the literature by proposing a novel coevolutionary model, in which each individual selects an action from a binary set and has an opinion on which action they prefer. Actions and opinions coevolve on a two-layer network. For homogeneous parameters, undir...

摘要：In this article, we review different stability definitions that have been used in the literature concerning 2-D Roesser or Fornasini-Marchesini models: structural stability, asymptotic stability, and two different notions of exponential stability. We clarify the relations between all these definitions for the linear case: the two notions of exponential stability and structural stability are all equivalent and they imply asymptotic stability.

摘要：Event-triggered control (ETC) has been proposed in the networked control systems (NCSs) literature to reduce the need of data transmissions, and the main focus has been on the design of ETC mechanisms with a guaranteed positive minimum of interevent time (MIET), and hence avoiding Zeno phenomena. In this article, we propose a design of an aperiodic ETC mechanism for general nonlinear NCSs. In our setup, the communication network could introduce variable transmission delays, while data packets ...

摘要：Conditions preserving observability of specifications between the plant and its abstraction are essential for hierarchical supervisory control of discrete-event systems under partial observation. Observation consistency and local observation consistency were identified as such conditions. To preserve normality, only observation consistency is required. Although observation consistency preserves normality between the levels for normal specifications, for specifications that are not normal, obse...

摘要：We develop an autonomous navigation algorithm for a robot operating in two-dimensional environments cluttered with obstacles having arbitrary convex shapes. The proposed navigation approach relies on a hybrid feedback to guarantee global asymptotic stabilization of the robot toward a predefined target location while ensuring the forward invariance of the obstacle-free workspace. The main idea consists in designing an appropriate switching strategy between the move-to-target mode and the obstac...
