摘要:This article aims at developing a scaling-function approach for distributed optimization of unbalanced multiagent networks under convex constraints. The distinguishing feature of the algorithm is that it does not employ agents' out-degree information, nor does it require the estimation of the left eigenvector, corresponding to the zero eigenvalue, of the Laplacian matrix. Existing approaches for unbalanced networks either demand the knowledge on agents' out-degrees, which is impractical in app...

摘要:We propose decentralized primal-dual methods for cooperative multiagent consensus optimization problems over both static and time-varying communication networks, where only local communications are allowed. The objective is to minimize the sum of agent-specific convex functions over conic constraint sets defined by agent-specific nonlinear functions; hence, the optimal consensus decision should lie in the intersection of these private sets. Under the strong convexity assumption, we provide con...

摘要:We study the convergence properties of an overlapping Schwarz decomposition algorithm for solving nonlinear optimal control problems (OCPs). The algorithm decomposes the time domain into a set of overlapping subdomains, and solves all subproblems defined over subdomains in parallel. The convergence is attained by updating primal-dual information at the boundaries of overlapping subdomains. We show that the algorithm exhibits local linear convergence, and that the convergence rate improves expo...

摘要:Robust performance of control schemes for open quantum systems is investigated under classical uncertainties in the generators of the dynamics and non-classical uncertainties due to decoherence and initial state preparation errors. A formalism is developed to measure performance based on the transmission of a dynamic perturbation or initial state preparation error to the quantum state error. This makes it possible to apply tools from classical robust control, such as structured singular value ...

摘要:This article is devoted to the existence and the global stability of stationary solutions for stochastic Hopfield neural networks with time delays and additive white noises. Using the method of random dynamical systems, we present a new approach to guarantee that the infinite-dimensional stochastic flow generated by stochastic delay differential equations admits a globally attracting random equilibrium in the state-space of continuous functions. An example is given to illustrate the effectiven...

摘要:We introduce a new class of large, infrequent disturbances to complement the small, persistent disturbances typically considered in robustness analysis. This new class of disturbances includes discrete disturbances that become pertinent when considering discrete actuators and production scheduling in control problems. To properly account for the infrequent nature of these disturbances, we define a stochastic form of robustness. Under suitable assumptions, we prove that certain closed-loop syst...

摘要:This article presents a time-invariant extremum seeking controller (ESC) for nonlinear autonomous systems with limit cycles. For this time-invariant ESC, we propose a method to prove the closed-loop system has an asymptotically stable limit cycle. The method is based on a perturbation theorem for maps, and, unlike existing techniques that use averaging and singular perturbation tools, it is not limited to weakly nonlinear systems. We use a typical example system to show that our method does in...

摘要:A continuous adaptive controller is developed for nonlinear dynamical systems with linearly parameterizable uncertainty involving time-varying uncertain parameters. Through a unique stability analysis strategy, a new adaptive feedforward term is developed along with specialized feedback terms, to yield an asymptotic tracking error convergence result by compensating for the time-varying nature of the uncertain parameters. A Lyapunov-based stability analysis is shown for Euler-Lagrange systems, ...

摘要:The increasing ease of obtaining and processing data together with the growth in system complexity has sparked the interest in moving from conventional model-based control design toward data-driven concepts. Since in many engineering applications time delays naturally arise and are often a source of instability, we contribute to the data-driven control field by introducing data-based formulas for state feedback control design in linear discrete-time time-delay systems with uncertain delays.
