  摘要：In this article, we study a class of generalized Persidskii systems with external disturbances and establish conditions, in the form of linear matrix inequalities, for input-to-output stability and robust synchronization for these systems. We apply the obtained results to the robust control design for synchronizing linear systems and to the synchronization of Hindmarsh-Rose models of neurons.

  摘要：This article proposes a method for enlarging the region of attraction of linear model predictive controllers (MPC) when tracking piecewise-constant references in the presence of pointwise-in-time constraints. It consists of an add-on unit, the feasibility governor (FG), that manipulates the reference command so as to ensure that the optimal control problem that underlies the MPC-feedback law remains feasible. Offline polyhedral projection algorithms based on multiobjective linear programming a...
• Distributed Mean-Field Density Estimation for Large-Scale Systems AI翻译

  摘要：This article studies how to estimate the mean-field density of large-scale systems in a distributed manner. Such problems are motivated by the recent swarm control technique that uses mean-field approximations to represent the collective effect of the swarm, wherein the mean-field density (especially its gradient) is usually used in feedback control design. In the first part, we formulate the density estimation problem as a filtering problem of the associated mean-field partial differential eq...
• Extension of the Observability Rank Condition to Time-Varying Nonlinear Systems AI翻译
  作者：Martinelli, Agostino
  摘要：This article provides an extension of the observability rank condition to time-varying nonlinear systems. Previous conditions to check the state observability only hold for nonlinear systems that do not explicitly depend on time, or, for time-varying systems, they only account for the linear case. In this article, a general analytic condition is provided. The new condition reduces to the well-known observability rank condition in the two simpler cases of time-varying linear systems and time-in...
• Model Evaluation of the Stochastic Boolean Control Networks AI翻译

  摘要：This article investigates the model evaluation problem for the stochastic Boolean control networks (SBCNs). First, an algebraic expression of the SBCN is obtained based on the semitensor product method, and a straightforward approach is then proposed to compute the probability that the given observed output sequence is produced by the considered model. Second, two recursive algorithms, namely the forward and the backward algorithms, are designed for model evaluation by resorting to the forward...
• Event-Triggered Fixed-Time Attitude Consensus With Fixed and Switching Topologies AI翻译

  摘要：In this article, event-triggered attitude consensus is considered for multiagent systems with guaranteed fixed-time convergence. Due to the non-Euclidean property of the attitude configuration space, the attitude consensus is more challenging to achieve under the sampled-data setting. An event-triggered attitude consensus protocol and event-triggered condition are proposed based on the axis-angle attitude representation. The fixed-time attitude consensus is reached if the initial attitudes lie...
• Optimization Over Time-Varying Networks and Unbounded Information Delays AI翻译

  摘要：Solving optimization problems in multiagent systems involves information exchange between agents. The obtained solutions should be robust to information delays and errors that arise from an unreliable wireless network, which typically connects the multiagent system. In today's large-scale dynamic Internet of Things style multiagent scenarios, the network topology changes and evolves over time. In this article, we present a simple distributed gradient-based optimization framework and an associa...
• Diagonal Stability of Discrete-Time k-Positive Linear Systems With Applications to Nonlinear Systems AI翻译
  作者：Wu, Chengshuai; Margaliot, Michael
  作者单位：Tel Aviv University
  摘要：A linear dynamical system is called k-positive if its dynamics maps the set of vectors with up to k - 1 sign variations to itself. For k = 1, this reduces to the important class of positive linear systems. Since stable positive linear time-invariant systems always admit a diagonal quadratic Lyapunov function, i.e., they are diagonally stable, we may expect that this holds also for stable kpositive systems. We show that, in general, this is not the case both in the continuous-time and discrete-...
• Partial Extended Observability Certification and Optimal Design of Moving-Horizon Estimators AI翻译

  作者单位：Communaute Universite Grenoble Alpes; Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble; Universite Grenoble Alpes (UGA); Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)
  摘要：This article addresses the observability analysis and the optimal design of observation parameters in the presence of noisy measurements and parametric uncertainties. The notion of almost epsilon-observability is introduced and a systematic procedure to assess its satisfaction for a given system with a priori known measurement noise statistics and parameter discrepancy is sketched. Moreover, the concept of observation-target quantities is introduced to analyze the precision with which specific...
• State Conditional Filtering AI翻译

  摘要：In many dynamical state estimation problems, not all the values that the state can take have the same importance; hence, missing to deliver an appropriate estimate has more severe consequences for certain state values than for others. In many applications, such important state values correspond to events that have low a priori probability to happen (e.g., unsafe situations or conditions that one tries to avoid by design). Provably, Kalman filtering techniques are inadequate to correctly estima...
