摘要：We present a novel methodology for designing output-feedback backstepping bilateral boundary controllers for an unstable 1D diffusion-reaction partial differential equation (PDE) with spatially varying reaction. Using folding transforms the parabolic PDE into a 2 x 2 coupled PDE system with coupling through compatibility conditions. We apply a two-tiered backstepping approach, where the invertibility of the transformations guarantees the state-feedback controllers exponentially stabilize the t...

摘要：In this article, we present a resource allocation mechanism to incentivize misinformation filtering among strategic social media platforms and, thus, to indirectly prevent the spread of fake news. We consider the presence of a strategic government and private knowledge of how misinformation affects the users of the social media platforms. Our proposed mechanism strongly implements all generalized Nash equilibria for efficient filtering of misleading information in the induced game, with a bala...

摘要：This article focuses on model predictive control (MPC) design in the context of sampled-data control systems with full-state measurements. It is shown that recent results on this area can be successfully generalized to cope with sampled-data MPC. The open-loop plant is subjected to polytopic parameter uncertainty and at sampling times, a controlled output variable satisfies a set of convex constraints. A guaranteed H-2 performance index with infinity horizon is minimized such that the feedback...

摘要：A special class of retarded and neutral time delay systems is considered. These are plants with internal delayed feedback, and they may have finitely many or infinitely many unstable poles. Stabilizing controllers are obtained from a particular interpolation. A parametrization of all stabilizing integral-action controllers is obtained. Examples are given to illustrate this simple design procedure and its robustness properties for various uncertainties.

摘要：In this article, we incorporate velocity observer design into the virtual decomposition control (VDC) strategy of an n-degree of freedom (N-DoF) open-chain robotic manipulator. Descending from the VDC strategy, the proposed design is based on decomposing the n-DoF manipulator into subsystems, i.e., rigid links and joints, for which the decentralized controller-observer implementation can be done locally. Similar to VDC, the combined controller-observer design is passivity based, and we show th...

摘要：We address a problem of boundary control for a nonlinear scalar conservation law. Namely, this article is devoted to the boundary control of a Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) partial differential equation (PDE) with triangular flux function evolving along a single road. The target state is a time- and space-dependent trajectory. The boundary control law is constructed using the analytical solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi (H-J) equation, which is an integral form of the LWR PDE. We design a fee...

摘要：The use of deceptive strategies is important for an agent that attempts not to reveal his intentions in an adversarial environment. We consider a setting, in which a supervisor provides a reference policy and expects an agent to follow the reference policy and perform a task. The agent may instead follow a different deceptive policy to achieve a different task. We model the environment and the behavior of the agent with a Markov decision process, represent the tasks of the agent and the superv...

摘要：In this article, we investigate a moving-target-fencing problem for multiple vehicles using nearest neighbor rules where the target moves with an unknown constant velocity. Without a predefined stand-off distance or formation, two local cooperative controllers are proposed using only the relative position information from the target and its neighbors within its local frame of reference. The controllers consist of three functionalities. The repulsive term between a vehicle and its neighbors is ...

摘要：We develop an exponentially convergent distributed algorithm to minimize a sum of nonsmooth cost functions with a set constraint. The set constraint generally leads to the nonlinearity in distributed algorithms, and results in difficulties to derive an exponential rate. In this article, we remove the consensus constraints by an exact penalty method, and then propose a distributed projected subgradient algorithm by virtue of a differential inclusion and a differentiated projection operator. Res...

摘要：An accelerated algorithm is proposed in this article for solving the linear quadratic optimal consensus problem of multiagent systems. To optimize the linear quadratic response and the final consensus state simultaneously, a nonseparable multiobjective optimization problem with coupled constraints on decision variables is formulated. The main difficulty in solving the optimization problem lies in the nonlinear coupling of objectives, which is overcome by separating the problem into two indepen...
