摘要：This article proposes a data-driven iterative feedback control method to efficiently solve finite time horizon, nonlinear, input constrained optimal control problems. The proposed method introduces a novel approach to combine an inexact system model with measured state information to reduce the cost and provide near-optimal control by approximately solving the optimal control problem along the trajectory of the real system, as opposed to solving it along the trajectory predicted by the inexact...

摘要：This article presents a unified framework for the stability and performance analysis of networked linear control systems with asynchronous continuous-time or discrete-time event-triggering. In the networked system, the multiple outputs of the plant and the controller are independently transmitted via a single shared or multiple channels based on local event-triggering conditions. Regarding the restrictions of physical devices, in the event-checking procedure, an inactive period of time is allo...

摘要：Reconstructing the causal structure of a network of dynamic systems from observational data is an important problem in many areas of science. One of the earliest and most prominent approaches to this problem is Granger causality. It has been shown that in a network with linear dynamics and strictly causal transfer functions, Granger causality consistently reconstructs the underlying graph of the network. On the other hand, techniques that allow for the presence of direct feedthroughs usually a...

摘要：The classic Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism ensures incentive compatibility, i.e., truth-telling is a dominant strategy for all agents, for a static one-shot game. However, it does not appear to be feasible to construct mechanisms that ensure dominance of dynamic truth-telling for agents comprised of general stochastic dynamic systems. The agents' intertemporal net utilities depend on future controls and payments, and a direct extension of the VCG mechanism does not guarantee incentive c...

摘要：This article concerns an indirect method to solve state-constrained optimal control problems. The dynamics of the controlled system is given by ordinary differential equations encompassing the effect of a steady flow field in which the moving object is immersed. The proposed method is based on the maximum principle in Gamkrelidze's form. At the core of the approach is a regularity hypothesis which entails the continuity of the measure Lagrange multiplier associated with the state constraint. T...

摘要：This article addresses the behavior analysis problems for directed signed networks that involve cooperative-antagonistic interactions among agents. Of particular interest is to explore the convergence behaviors of directed signed networks with agents of mixed first-order and second-order dynamics. Furthermore, the agents are subject to nonidentical topologies represented by two different signed digraphs that have a strongly connected union. It is shown that when considering signed networks sub...

摘要：We consider a dynamic traffic routing game over an urban road network involving a large number of drivers in which each driver selecting a particular route is subject to a penalty that is affine in the logarithm of the number of drivers selecting the same route. We show that the mean-field approximation of such a game leads to the so-called linearly solvable Markov decision process, implying that its mean-field equilibrium (MFE) can be found simply by solving a finite-dimensional linear system...

摘要：In this article, we consider an online distributed composite optimization problem over a timevarying multiagent network that consists of multiple interacting nodes, where the objective function of each node consists of two parts: a loss function that changes over time and a regularization function. This problem naturally arises in many real-world applications ranging from wireless sensor networks to signal processing. We propose a class of online distributed optimization algorithms that are ba...

摘要：We propose a constructive design method for linear systems with a nontrivial drift term, guaranteeing robust global asymptotic stability of the origin of the closed-loop system, as well as robust obstacle avoidance. To obtain discontinuous input actions, our controller is designed in the framework of hybrid systems. Using our proposed hybrid controller, we demonstrate that solutions do not enter a sphere, which we term an avoidance neighborhood, around specified isolated points. The constructi...

摘要：This article provides performance bounds for a particular H-infinity model-matching problem. We consider scalar linear time-invariant plants in a one-degree-of-freedom control loop. We obtained explicit expressions for the Gramians needed when Nehari's theorem is applied to this problem, leading to a simple algebraic equation for the optimal performance. This formula sheds light upon the effect that nonminimum-phase zeros have on the optimal performance and yields easily computable bounds and ...
