摘要:This article is concerned with the global leader-following consensus problem of the input-constrained double-integrator multiagent systems. By utilizing a Lyapunov-like function consisting of a positive semidefinite term and an integral term, a class of bounded static linear protocols are proposed to ensure that the global leader-following consensus problem for homogeneous multiagent systems is solved in a fully distributed manner for all undirected communication graphs. As a further result, t...

摘要:For linear time-invariant systems, the design of an optimal controller is a commonly encountered problem in many applications. Among all the optimization approaches available, the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) methodology certainly garners much attention and interest. As is well known, standard numerical tools in linear algebra are readily available to determine the optimal static LQR feedback gain matrix when all the system state variables are measurable. However, in various certain scenar...

摘要:This article studies the feedback stabilization problem of the motion of a tank that contains an incompressible, Newtonian, viscous liquid. The control input is the force applied on the tank and the overall system consists of two nonlinear partial differential equations and two ordinary differential equations. Moreover, a spill-free condition is required to hold. By applying the control Lyapunov functional methodology, a set of initial conditions (state space) is determined for which spill-fre...

摘要:This article investigates the multiplayer pursuit-evasion (MPE) differential games in the presence of malicious pursuers. First, three types of malicious pursuers, namely greedy, lazy, and traitorous pursuers are formulated by using two subjectively malicious factors in the performance index. Then, an N-player nonzero-sum game framework is established to study the relationships among healthy pursuers, malicious pursuers, and evaders. The capturability and Nash equilibrium of such a new MPE dif...

摘要:When multiple agents need to perform tasks that need cooperation, communication is necessary for coordination and also to assess completion. In this case, trust needs to be guaranteed, so agents know if others are following a common strategy. If communication is explicit, other agents, including agents that are not involved directly in the mission, can forge information and lead agents to believe that they are behaving according to the mission plan. Several methods have been proposed in the li...

摘要:This article deals with the input-output finite-time stability (IO-FTS) of linear discrete-time systems. In current control science, discrete-time systems play a very important role in many engineering contexts. Moreover, many discrete-time control problems are defined over a finite-interval of time; therefore, the development and application of finite-time control methodologies is of particular relevance. The first contribution of this article is a pair of necessary and sufficient conditions ...

摘要:This article presents a novel Jacobi-style iteration algorithm for solving the problem of distributed submodular maximization, in which multiple agents determine their strategies from the private sets so that a global, nonseparable submodular objective function is jointly maximized. Building on the multilinear extension of the submodular function, we expect to achieve the solution from a probabilistic, rather than deterministic, perspective, and thus, transfer the considered problem from the d...

摘要:In this article, we propose a tractable nonlinear fault estimation filter along with explicit performance bounds for a class of linear dynamical systems in the presence of both additive and nonlinear multiplicative faults. We consider the case, where both faults may occur simultaneously and through an identical dynamical relationship, a setting that is relevant to several application domains, including automotive driving, aviation, and chemical plants. The proposed filter architecture combines...

摘要:This article is devoted to reveal some essential features of stochastic control systems with sampled data (SCSwSD). First, it is shown by a proposition that the moment asymptotic stability of the underlying system is equivalent to that of any regular accurate numerical scheme under simple conditions, which is convenient to be structured specially for SCSwSD. This kind of principle provides a way for inferring moment asymptotic stability of SCSwSD by numerical simulations logically. As the firs...

摘要:In this article, we propose a distributed negotiation framework that allows a set of cooperative agents to find a common ground with their neighbors while attempting to modify their initial opinion by the least possible amount. Based on such a framework, we develop a distributed agreement approach where the effort spent in the local agreement reflects the relevance of the agents in a weighted consensus process. In particular, we assume that players whose ideas happen to satisfactory mediate th...
