摘要:Accomplishing reach-avoid tasks for quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles while ensuring formal safety guarantees remains a challenging problem despite significant research advancements. In this article, we address this challenge by adopting an efficient planning-tracking paradigm that integrates geometric control for tracking and B & eacute;zier curves for polynomial trajectory generation. Our framework explicitly addresses tracking errors during trajectory synthesis by incorporating closed-form...

摘要:Diagnosability is a system theoretical property characterizing whether fault occurrences in a system can always be detected within a finite time. In this article, we investigate the verification of diagnosability for cyberphysical systems with continuous state sets. We develop an abstraction-free and automata-based framework to verify (the lack of) diagnosability, leveraging a notion of hybrid barrier certificates. To this end, we first construct a (delta, K)-deterministic finite automaton tha...

摘要:In this article, we study the question of how to reconstruct the state of a power system using phasor measurement units. In our previous research we proved that this question has an affirmative answer imposing some rather strict structural assumptions: namely, neglecting the generator rotors saliency and assuming that the stator resistance of the synchronous generator is zero. It was shown in simulations that the performance of the proposed observer was sensitive to these assumptions, observin...

摘要:We study stochastic pairwise interaction network systems whereby a finite population of agents, identified with the nodes of a (directed) graph, update their states in response to both individual mutations and pairwise interactions with their neighbors. The considered class of systems includes the main epidemic models-such as the susceptible-infected-susceptible, susceptible-infected-recovered, and susceptible-infected-recovered-susceptible models-certain social dynamics models-such as the vot...

摘要:This article presents a pseudospectral method for dynamic optimization problems (DOPs) that allows for tight polynomial bounds to be achieved via flexible subintervals. The proposed method not only rigorously enforces inequality constraints, but also allows for a lower cost in comparison with nonflexible discretizations. Two examples are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method to solve optimal control problems. Solutions to the example problems exhibited up to a tenfold ...

摘要:The rapid increase in networked cyber-physical system (CPS), especially in industrial environments, necessitates safe and secure communication. One possibility to increase the security of CPS is encryption. In this article, a controller encryption scheme for discrete event systems (DESs) is proposed that allows not only the encryption of the communication, but also the controller itself. The considered controller is modeled by a type of DES, namely, signal interpreted Petri nets (SIPNs). A new...

摘要:For large-scale network systems, network centrality based on control theory plays a crucial role in understanding their properties and controlling them efficiently. The controllability score is such a centrality index and can give a physically meaningful measure. It is originally proposed for linear time-invariant systems, and we extend it to linear time-varying systems in this article. Since the controllability score is defined as an optimal solution to some optimization problem, it is not ne...

摘要:Over the past decade, neural network (NN)-based controllers have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in a variety of decision-making tasks. However, their closed-box nature and the risk of unexpected behaviors pose a challenge to their deployment in real-world systems requiring strong guarantees of correctness and safety. We address these limitations by investigating the transformation of NN-based controllers into equivalent soft decision tree (SDT)-based controllers and its impact on verifiabili...

摘要:In existingevent-triggered sliding-mode control (ETSMC) for switched systems, triggering or switching behavior usually causes the system states to deviate from the sliding surface, which may affect both stability and robustness of the system. To deal with this issue, this article proposes a reachability-guaranteed ETSMC for switched systems without/with communication delay. First, an event-triggered scheme (ETS) is constructed with two error functions integrated to counteract the effects of th...

摘要:Direct policy search has achieved great empir-ical success in reinforcement learning. Many recent stud-ies have revisited its theoretical foundation for continuous control, which reveals elegant nonconvex geometry in var-ious benchmark problems. This article considers two fun-damental optimal and robust control problems with partial observability: linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control and H infinity robust control. In the policy space, the former problem is smooth but nonconvex, while the la...
