The further result on global practical tracking for high-order uncertain nonlinear systems

This paper extends the unknown control coefficients with lower and upper constant bounds to the ones which may take arbitrarily large and /or small values.Since the existing methods are no longer applicable and the technical obstacles caused by the extensions are essential,new control design scheme should be exploited to the global practical tracking.By the approaches of Nussbaum-gain and adding a power integrator,the authors successfully propose the design scheme of the adaptive practical tracking controller for the systems.It is shown that the designed controller guarantees that all the closed-loop system states are bounded and the tracking error becomes prescribed arbitrarily small after a finite time.

Networked Learning Predictive Control of Nonlinear Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber-physical systems integrate computing, network and physical environments to make the systems more efficient and cooperative, and have important and extensive application prospects, such as the Internet of things. This paper studies the control problem of nonlinear cyber-physical systems with unknown dynamics and communication delays. A networked learning predictive control scheme is proposed for unknown nonlinear cyber-physical systems. This scheme recursively learns unknown system dynamics, actively compensates for communication delays and accurately tracks a desired reference. Learning multi-step predictors are presented to predict various step ahead outputs of the unknown nonlinear cyber-physical systems. The optimal design of controllers minimises a performance cost function which measures the tracking error predictions and control input increment predictions. The system analysis leads to the stability criteria of closed-loop nonlinear cyber-physical systems employing the networked learning predictive control scheme. An example illustrates the outcomes of the proposed scheme.

Distributed Algorithm for Robust Resource Allocation with Polyhedral Uncertain Allocation Parameters

This paper studies a distributed robust resource allocation problem with nonsmooth objective functions under polyhedral uncertain allocation parameters. In the considered distributed robust resource allocation problem, the (nonsmooth) objective function is a sum of local convex objective functions assigned to agents in a multi-agent network. Each agent has a private feasible set and decides a local variable, and all the local variables are coupled with a global affine inequality constraint, which is subject to polyhedral uncertain parameters. With the duality theory of convex optimization, the authors derive a robust counterpart of the robust resource allocation problem. Based on the robust counterpart, the authors propose a novel distributed continuous-time algorithm, in which each agent only knows its local objective function, local uncertainty parameter, local constraint set, and its neighbors’ information. Using the stability theory of differential inclusions, the authors show that the algorithm is able to find the optimal solution under some mild conditions. Finally, the authors give an example to illustrate the efficacy of the proposed algorithm.     

Global Output-Feedback Tracking for Nonlinear Cascade Systems with Unknown Growth Rate and Control Coefficients

This paper deals with the global practical tracking problem by output-feedback for a class of uncertain cascade systems with zero-dynamics and unmeasured states dependent growth.The systems investigated are substantially different from the closely related works,and have zero-dynamics,unknown growth rate,and unknown time-varying control coefficients.This makes the problem much more difficult to solve.Motivated by the authors' recent works,this paper proposes a new adaptive control scheme to achieve the global practical tracking.It is shown that the designed controller guarantees that the state of the resulting closed-loop system is globally bounded and the tracking error converges to a prescribed arbitrarily small neighborhood of the origin after a finite time.This is achieved by combining the methods of universal control and dead zone with backstepping technique,and using the framework of performance analysis in the closely related works.A numerical example demonstrates the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Non-fragile guaranteed cost control for uncertain neutral large-scale interconnected systems

This paper focuses on the problem of non-fragile decentralized guaranteed cost control for uncertain neutral large-scale interconnected systems with time-varying delays in state, control input and interconnections. A novel scheme, viewing the interconnections with time-varying delays as effective information but not disturbances, is developed. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, using various techniques of decomposing and magnifying matrices, a design method of the non-fragile decentralized guaranteed cost controller for unperturbed neutral large-scale interconnected systems is proposed and the guaranteed cost is presented. The further results are derived for the uncertain case from the criterion of unperturbed neutral large-scale interconnected systems. Finally, an illustrative example shows that the results are significantly better than the existing results in the literatures.     

Multi-agent tracking of a high-dimensional active leader with switching topology

This paper considers a multi-agent tracking problem for a high-dimensional active leader and variable interconnection topology. The state of the leader not only keeps changing but also may not be measured. To estimate the state such a leader individually, a neighbor-based local controller together with a neighbor-based state-estimation rule is given for each autonomous agent. Then, the authors prove that, with the help of a constructed common Lyapunov function (CLF), each agent can track the active leader with unmeasurable states. Finally, the authors explicitly construct a CLF for an active leader with unknown periodic input for illustration.     

Convergence of Distributed Gradient-Tracking-Based Optimization Algorithms with Random Graphs

This paper studies distributed convex optimization over a multi-agent system, where each agent owns only a local cost function with convexity and Lipschitz continuous gradients. The goal of the agents is to cooperatively minimize a sum of the local cost functions. The underlying communication networks are modelled by a sequence of random and balanced digraphs, which are not required to be spatially or temporally independent and have any special distributions. The authors use a distributed gradient-tracking-based optimization algorithm to solve the optimization problem. In the algorithm,each agent makes an estimate of the optimal solution and an estimate of the average of all the local gradients. The values of the estimates are updated based on a combination of a consensus method and a gradient tracking method. The authors prove that the algorithm can achieve convergence to the optimal solution at a geometric rate if the conditional graphs are uniformly strongly connected, the global cost function is strongly convex and the step-sizes don't exceed some upper bounds.

Observer-based event-triggered tracking control of leader-follower systems with time delay

This paper studies the tracking control of general linear multi-agent systems with or without time delays. The observer-based event-triggered control schemes will be considered. For the conventional distributed tracking protocol, the authors will not update the relative state in continuous time, i.e., the relative state will be updated by some events which happened in discrete time. A completely decentralized event-trigger will be designed for leader-follower systems. It is shown that all followers can track the leader asymptotically by the proposed protocol, if the feedback gain matrices are designed appropriately. Numerical simulations are also provided and the results show highly consistent with the theoretical results.     

Fault Detection for Complex Systems with Channel Fadings,Randomly Occurring Multiple Delays and Infinitely Distributed Delays

This paper is concerned with the fault detection(FD) problem for a class of discretetime stochastic systems with channel fadings, randomly occurring multiple communication delays,and infinitely distributed delays. All of the three phenomena have the characteristics of randomly occurring and three sequences of stochastic variables which are mutually independent but obey the Bernoulli distribution are employed to describe them. The aim of this paper is to design an FD filter such that the FD dynamics is exponentially stable in the mean square and, at the same time, the error between the residual signal and the fault signal is made as small as possible. Intensive analysis is utilized to derive the sufficient conditions for the designed FD filter, which guarantees the exponential stability and the prescribed H∞ performance. FD filter parameters are obtained by solving a convex optimization problem. An illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the FD design scheme.

Two numerical examples are also given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Aggregation in intersection region for distributed heterogeneous mobile sensor networks

This paper presents two aggregation strategies in convex intersection region for the distributed mobile sensor network (MSN) with heterogeneous dynamics. First, the authors analyze individual local perception model and dynamics model, set the intersection of all the local perceptions as the region of interest (ROI). The MSN consists of sensors with first-order dynamics and second-order dynamics. Then, the authors design a control strategy to ensure that individuals aggregate at a point in the ROI relying on their local perceptions and the locations of neighbors within their communication scope. The authors describe this situation of aggregation as rendezvous. In addition, the authors introduce artificial potential field to make sensors deploy dispersedly in a bounded range near the ROI, which the authors call dispersed deployment. Finally, the authors prove the stability of the proposed strategies and validate the theoretical results by simulations. This research is applied for the cooperative deployment and data collection of mobile platforms with different dynamics under the condition of inaccurate perception.
