摘要：In this article, we study a class of mean-field linear quadratic Gaussian problems. Under suitable conditions, explicit solutions of the distribution-dependent optimal control problems are obtained. Riccati systems are derived by directly solving the associated master equations. Some extensions on controls with partial observations are also considered.

摘要：We present a predictive feedback control method for a class of quasilinear hyperbolic systems with one boundary control input. Assuming exact model knowledge, convergence to the origin or tracking at the uncontrolled boundary is achieved in finite time. A robustness certificate is provided, showing that at least under more restrictive assumptions on the system coefficients, the control method has inherent robustness properties with respect to small errors in the model, measurements, and contro...

摘要：This article addresses the problems of establishing structural stability and the L-2 gain of 2-D mixed continuous-discrete time systems. The first contribution is to show that Lyapunov functions quadratically dependent on the frequency are exact for establishing structural stability. This is particularly important since the existing works that exploit Lyapunov functions provide a much larger upper bound on the dependence on the frequency or other parameters. The second contribution is to propo...

摘要：We present a novel method of optimal robust control through quadratic programs that offers tracking stability while subject to input and state-based constraints as well as safety-critical constraints for nonlinear dynamical robotic systems in the presence of model uncertainty. The proposed method formulates robust control Lyapunov and barrier functions to provide guarantees of stability and safety in the presence of model uncertainty. We evaluate our proposed control design on dynamic walking ...

摘要：This article addresses the exponential almost sure (EAS) stability and stabilization problems of continuous-time Markovian jump systems with additional stochastic switches. Sufficient conditions for EAS stability are established by applying a method to its stochastic transfer matrix. Particularly, both sojourn time and distribution of such random switchings are considered in the design of a state-feedback controller. Compared with some existing references, the proposed controller could bear un...

摘要：This article revisits the sampled-data cooperative output regulation problem in a hybrid system framework. Due to the inevitable network-induced imperfections caused by communication among agents, we consider the problem under asynchronous transmissions and time-varying delays. A hybrid system model is introduced to incorporate the aforementioned communication imperfections and facilitate the analysis on internal stability andL(2) (L-infinity) performance of closed-loop systems. A novel Lyapun...

摘要：This article proposes a novel system identification method based on the notion of invariant subspace. It is shown that when the system input and output asymptotically converge onto an invariant subspace, a new form of regression can be obtained. New identification algorithms are then developed based on the obtained regression. The proposed method has several distinctive advantages originating from both time-domain and frequency-domain approaches. They include: 1) linear continuous-time models ...

摘要：We develop two generalizations of contraction theory, namely, semi-contraction and weak-contraction theory. First, using the notion of seminorm, we propose a geometric framework for semi-contraction theory. We introduce matrix semimeasures and characterize their properties. We show that the spectral abscissa of a matrix is the infimum over weighted semimeasures. For dynamical systems, we use the semimeasure of their Jacobian to characterize the contractivity properties of their trajectories. S...

摘要：In this article, we address Bayesian persuasion between a sender and a receiver with state-dependent quadratic cost measures for general classes of distributions. The receiver seeks to make mean-square-error estimate of a state based on a signal sent by the sender while the sender signals strategically in order to control the receiver's estimate in a certain way. Such a scheme could model, e.g., deception and privacy, problems in multiagent systems. Existing solution concepts are not viable si...
