摘要：Ensuring safety is crucial for the successful deployment of autonomous systems, such as self-driving vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and robots acting close to humans. While there exist many controllers that optimize certain criteria, such as energy consumption, comfort, or low wear, they are usually not able to guarantee safety at all times for constrained nonlinear systems affected by disturbances. Many controllers providing safety guarantees, however, have no optimal performance. The id...

摘要：With the wide application of cyber-physical systems, stealthy attacks on remote state estimation have attracted increasing research attention. Recently, various stealthy innovation-based linear attack models were proposed, in which the relaxed stealthiness constraint was based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence. This article studies existing innovation-based linear attack strategies with relaxed stealthiness and concludes that all of them provided merely suboptimal solutions. The main reason i...

摘要：Sensor resolution, which is one of the most important parameters/specifications for almost all kinds of sensors, plays an important role in any signal processing problems. This article deals with the distributed filtering problem for a class of discrete time-varying stochastic systems subject to nonlogarithmic sensor resolution and stochastic nonlinearities. The soft measurement technique is exploited in the filter design to overcome the difficulties resulting from the sensor-resolution-induce...

摘要：Stochastic dynamic teams and games are rich models for decentralized systems and challenging testing grounds for multiagent learning. Previous work that guaranteed team optimality assumed stateless dynamics, or an explicit coordination mechanism, or joint-control sharing. In this article, we present an algorithm with guarantees of convergence to team optimal policies in teams and common interest games. The algorithm is a two-timescale method that uses a variant of Q-learning on the finer times...

摘要：In this article, we propose a distributed negotiation framework that allows a set of cooperative agents to find a common ground with their neighbors while attempting to modify their initial opinion by the least possible amount. Based on such a framework, we develop a distributed agreement approach where the effort spent in the local agreement reflects the relevance of the agents in a weighted consensus process. In particular, we assume that players whose ideas happen to satisfactory mediate th...

摘要：We optimize a general model of bioprocesses, which is nonconvex due to the microbial growth in the biochemical reactors. We formulate a convex relaxation and give conditions guaranteeing its exactness in both the transient and steady-state cases. When the growth kinetics are modeled by the Contois or, under constant biomass, Monod or Powell functions, the relaxation is a second-order cone program, which can be solved efficiently at large scales. We implement the model on a numerical example ba...

摘要：A directed acyclic graph (DAG) is a common topology in biological, engineering, and social networks. A network topology is critical in determining a collective behavior of a network dynamic system. For example, the convergence rate of a consensus behavior in a multiagent system relies on the eigenvalues of the Laplacian associated with the network topology. This article aims to analyze the influence of adding a reverse edge into a DAG on convergence rate. It reveals the existence of the so-cal...

摘要：We present order reduction results for linear time invariant descriptor systems. Results are given for both forced and unforced systems as well methods for constructing the reduced order systems. Our results establish a precise connection between classical and new results on this topic, and lead to an elementary construction of quasi-Weierstrass forms for a descriptor system. Examples are given to illustrate the usefulness of our results.

摘要：This article is concerned with the problem of stabilizing continuous-time linear time-invariant (LTI) systems subject to quantization and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. In this context, two DoS-induced challenges emerge in the design of resilient encoding schemes, namely, the coupling between encoding strategies of different signals, and the synchronization between the encoder and decoder. These challenges are addressed by a novel proposed structure based on a deadbeat controller as well as ...
