摘要：We apply control theoretic and optimization techniques to adaptively design incentives for principal-agent problems in which the principal faces adverse selection in its interaction with multiple agents. In particular, the principal's objective depends on data from strategic decision makers (agents) whose decision-making process is unknown a priori. We consider both the cases where agents play best response to one another (Nash) and where they employ myopic update rules. By parametrizing the a...

摘要：Finite-time synchronization (FTS) of dynamical networks has received much attention in recent years, as it has fast convergence rate and good robustness. Most existing results rely heavily on some global condition such as the Lipschitz condition, which has limitations in describing the strong nonlinearity of most real systems. Dealing with strong nonlinearity in the field of FTS is still a challenging problem. In this article, the FTS problem of impulsive dynamical networks with general nonlin...

摘要：This article studies the constrained switching (linear) system which is a discrete-time switched linear system whose switching sequences are constrained by a deterministic finite automaton. The stability of a constrained switching system is characterized by its constrained joint spectral radius that is known to be difficult to compute or approximate. Using the semitensor product of matrices, the matrix-form expression of a constrained switching system is shown to be equivalent to that of a lif...

摘要：In this article, we study the problem of estimation in the presence of disturbances within the context of the behavioral approach developed by J.C. Willems. For this purpose, we use the behavioral theory of observers introduced by Valcher, Willems, Trentelman, and Trumpf, combined with the notions of behavioral invariance, conditioned invariance, and behavioral detectability subspaces. With these tools, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the aforementioned pr...

摘要：With the wide use of networks in repetitive systems, channels between a plant and a controller may experience random fading, which is a common problem in long-distance wireless communication. However, the control problem over fading channels is far from resolved. In this article, we investigate learning control over fading channels to gradually improve tracking performance. We observe that the effect of fading on input transmission greatly compromises tracking ability in practical implementati...

摘要：In this article, we study the output feedback exponential stabilization of a one-dimensional wave equation with control matched nonlinear disturbance. The well posedness of the open-loop system, which is essentially important for the designs of observer and controller, is verified. By designing an infinite-dimensional unknown input state observer in place of the conventional extended state observer, we estimate the total disturbance in real time. Moreover, we prove the convergence of the distu...

摘要：Measures of node centrality that describe the importance of a node within a network are crucial for understanding the behavior of social networks and graphs. In this article, we address the problems of distributed estimation and control of node centrality in undirected graphs with asymmetric weight values. In particular, we focus our attention on alpha-centrality, which can be seen as a generalization of eigenvector centrality. In this setting, we first consider a distributed protocol where ag...

摘要：We present a novel approach to the mean square exponential stability of stochastic delay differential equations. Consequently, some new explicit criteria for the mean square exponential stability of general nonlinear stochastic delay differential equations are derived. Both delay-independent and delay-dependent stability criteria are given, and illustrative examples are also provided.

摘要：This article proposes a new distributed algorithm for solving linear systems associated with a sparse graph under a generalized diagonal dominance assumption. The algorithm runs iteratively on each node of the graph, with low complexities on local information exchange between neighboring nodes, local computation, and local storage. For an acyclic graph under the condition of diagonal dominance, the algorithm is shown to converge to the correct solution in a finite number of iterations, equalin...

摘要：One of the main problems in the application of the theory of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals is the construction of corresponding Lyapunov matrices. Recently, it was noted that systems with distributed delay and exponential kernel may be rewritten by the introduction of auxiliary variables as systems with one delay. A suggestion was made that one can use the Lyapunov matrix of the latter system to obtain the Lyapunov matrix of the original system. In this article, we establish precise relation...
