  摘要：In this article, we introduce the notion of relative K-equi-stability (RKES) to characterize the uniformly continuous dependence of (weak) solutions on external disturbances for nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Based on the RKES, we prove the input-to-state stability (ISS) in the spatial sup-norm for a class of nonlinear parabolic PDEs with either Dirichlet or Robin boundary disturbances. An example concerned with a superlinear parabolic PDE with Robin boundary condit...

  摘要：For linear time-invariant systems, the design of an optimal controller is a commonly encountered problem in many applications. Among all the optimization approaches available, the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) methodology certainly garners much attention and interest. As is well known, standard numerical tools in linear algebra are readily available to determine the optimal static LQR feedback gain matrix when all the system state variables are measurable. However, in various certain scenar...

  摘要：This article studies the feedback stabilization problem of the motion of a tank that contains an incompressible, Newtonian, viscous liquid. The control input is the force applied on the tank and the overall system consists of two nonlinear partial differential equations and two ordinary differential equations. Moreover, a spill-free condition is required to hold. By applying the control Lyapunov functional methodology, a set of initial conditions (state space) is determined for which spill-fre...

  摘要：This article investigates the multiplayer pursuit-evasion (MPE) differential games in the presence of malicious pursuers. First, three types of malicious pursuers, namely greedy, lazy, and traitorous pursuers are formulated by using two subjectively malicious factors in the performance index. Then, an N-player nonzero-sum game framework is established to study the relationships among healthy pursuers, malicious pursuers, and evaders. The capturability and Nash equilibrium of such a new MPE dif...

  摘要：This article is concerned with the problem of output feedback control for a class of continuous-time hidden semi-Markov jump systems with time delays. Due to the limitations of the actual environment, system modes are usually undetectable, which are called hidden modes. The controller modes are described as observable modes. Emission probabilities are used to establish the relationship between abovementioned two concepts. The jump parameters are governed by the hidden semi-Markov process, whic...

  摘要：This article considers the distributed nonconvex optimization problem of minimizing a global cost function formed by a sum of local cost functions by using local information exchange. We first consider a distributed first-order primal-dual algorithm. We show that it converges sublinearly to a stationary point if each local cost function is smooth and linearly to a global optimum under an additional condition that the global cost function satisfies the Polyak-Lojasiewicz condition. This conditi...

  摘要：A multiagent optimization problem motivated by the management of energy systems is discussed. The associated cost function is separable and convex although not necessarily strongly convex and there exist edge-based coupling equality constraints. In this regard, we propose a distributed algorithm based on solving the dual of the augmented problem. Furthermore, we consider that the communication network might be time-varying and the algorithm might be carried out asynchronously. The time-varying...
• Smart Greedy Distributed Energy Allocation: A Random Games Approach AI翻译

  摘要：Consider a network of N providers that each has a certain supply of energy and B consumers that each has a certain demand. The efficiency of transmitting energy between providers and consumers is modeled using a weighted bipartite graph G. Our goal is to maximize the amount of utilized energy using a distributed algorithm that each provider runs locally. We propose a noncooperative energy-allocation game and adopt the best-response dynamics for this game as our distributed algorithm. We prove ...
• Folding Bilateral Backstepping Output-Feedback Control Design for an Unstable Parabolic PDE AI翻译

  摘要：We present a novel methodology for designing output-feedback backstepping bilateral boundary controllers for an unstable 1D diffusion-reaction partial differential equation (PDE) with spatially varying reaction. Using folding transforms the parabolic PDE into a 2 x 2 coupled PDE system with coupling through compatibility conditions. We apply a two-tiered backstepping approach, where the invertibility of the transformations guarantees the state-feedback controllers exponentially stabilize the t...

  摘要：In this article, we present a resource allocation mechanism to incentivize misinformation filtering among strategic social media platforms and, thus, to indirectly prevent the spread of fake news. We consider the presence of a strategic government and private knowledge of how misinformation affects the users of the social media platforms. Our proposed mechanism strongly implements all generalized Nash equilibria for efficient filtering of misleading information in the induced game, with a bala...
