RESUMEN
This article intends to study the asynchronous control problem for 2-D Markov jump systems (MJSs) with nonideal transition probabilities (TPs) under the Roesser model. Two practical considerations motivate the current work. First, considering that the system mode cannot always be observed accurately, a hidden Markov model (HMM) is adopted to describe the relationship between the mismatched modes. Second, considering that the TPs information related to the Markov process and the observation process is difficult to obtain, the nonideal TPs (unknown or uncertain) are simultaneously considered on the two processes. Under the considerations, several new sufficient conditions are developed for concerned closed-loop 2-D MJSs with nonideal TPs, by which the asymptotic mean square stability is ensured with an H∞ performance index. A nonconservative separation strategy is utilized to decouple the system mode TPs and the observation TPs to facilitate the analysis of nonideal TPs. An unified LMI-based condition is finally developed for the concerned closed-loop 2-D MJSs with/without nonideal TPs, showing more satisfactory conservatism than that in the literature. In the end, we present two examples to validate the superiority of the proposed design method.
RESUMEN
Asymptotic observability of distributed Boolean networks (DBNs) is studied in this article. Via a parallel extension method, asymptotic observability of the original system is converted to reachability at a fixed point of the extended system. Based on the structure matrix of the extended system, a necessary and sufficient condition is presented for asymptotic observability. Further, for unobservable systems, mode-dependent pinning control is first introduced and applied to achieve asymptotic observability, including the selections of pinning nodes, the design of output feedback controls, and the adding approaches. Then, a set of matrices is defined for the construction of the desired structure matrix. Based on it, a necessary condition is given to guarantee the solvability of the corresponding output feedback controls and the adding approaches. Finally, a numerical example is presented to show the effectiveness of the obtained results.
RESUMEN
This article designs a new hierarchical distributed data-driven adaptive learning control algorithm to accomplish the leader-following tracking control objective for nonaffine nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs). The proposed hierarchical control structure is composed of a distributed observer and a decentralized data-driven adaptive learning controller. Considering that some followers cannot directly receive information from the leader, a distributed observer is designed to estimate the information of the leader. Based on this, a decentralized data-driven adaptive learning controller is further devised to enable the follower to track the estimated information of the leader, where the model parameter learning algorithm is developed to capture the dynamic characteristics of the original system. One advantage of the developed hierarchical control learning algorithm is that neither the leader's system model nor the follower's system model is needed. The other one is the elimination of the noncausal problem without the additional assumption. Simulation results exemplify the merits of the theoretical results by comparisons.
RESUMEN
The neural network-based adaptive backstepping method is an effective tool to solve the cooperative tracking problem for nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs). However, this method cannot be directly extended to the case without continuous communication. It is because the discontinuous communication results in discontinuous signals in this case, the standard backstepping method is inapplicable. To solve this problem, a hierarchical design scheme that involves distributed cooperative estimators and neural network-based decentralized tracking controllers is proposed. By introducing a dynamic event-triggered mechanism, cooperative intermediate parameter estimators are first designed to estimate the unknown parameters of the leader. By using the interpolation polynomial method, these estimators are extended to smooth estimators with high-order derivatives to guarantee that the backstepping method is applicable. Based on the state of the smooth estimators, a backstepping-based decentralized neural network tracking controller is designed. It is shown that the tracking errors are asymptotically convergent and all the signals in the closed-loop systems are bounded. Compared with the existing cooperative tracking results for nonlinear MASs with event-triggered communication, a more general class of MASs is considered in this article and a better performance in terms of asymptotic tracking is achieved. Finally, a simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of our developed method.
RESUMEN
This article investigates the problem of the fully distributed self-triggered secure synchronization control for multiagent systems (MASs) under communication link denial-of-service (CLDoS) attacks. First, an algorithm for constructing a k -connected graph is designed to reduce the impact of CLDoS attacks on MASs. Based on which, a fully distributed observer-based resilient control scheme is co-designed to reduce the dependence on the communication topology information. In addition, a self-triggered method is proposed to avoid the real-time monitoring of system information, further to reduce the resource consumption. Finally, the effectiveness and superiority of the construction algorithm and resilient control scheme are supported by comparison simulation examples.
RESUMEN
In this article, we consider the cooperative tracking problem for a class of nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) with unknown dynamics under denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. To solve such a problem, a hierarchical cooperative resilient learning method, which involves a distributed resilient observer and a decentralized learning controller, is introduced in this article. Due to the existence of communication layers in the hierarchical control architecture, it may lead to communication delays and DoS attacks. Motivated by this consideration, a resilient model-free adaptive control (MFAC) method is developed to withstand the influence of communication delays and DoS attacks. First, a virtual reference signal is designed for each agent to estimate the time-varying reference signal under DoS attacks. To facilitate the tracking of each agent, the virtual reference signal is discretized. Then, a decentralized MFAC algorithm is designed for each agent such that each agent can track the reference signal by only using the obtained local information. Finally, a simulation example is proposed to verify the effectiveness of the developed method.
RESUMEN
This article studies the optimized fuzzy prescribed performance control problem for nonlinear nonstrict-feedback systems under denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. A fuzzy estimator is delicately designed to model the immeasurable system states in the presence of DoS attacks. To achieve the preset tracking performance, a simper prescribed performance error transformation is constructed considering the characteristics of DoS attacks, which helps obtain a novel Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation to derive the optimized prescribed performance controller. Furthermore, the fuzzy-logic system, combined with the reinforcement learning (RL) technique, is employed to approximate the unknown nonlinearity existing in the prescribed performance controller design process. An optimized adaptive fuzzy security control law is then proposed for the considered nonlinear nonstrict-feedback systems subject to DoS attacks. Through the Lyapunov stability analysis, the tracking error is proved to approach the predefined region by the preset finite time, even in the presence of DoS attacks. Meanwhile, the consumed control resources are minimized due to the RL-based optimized algorithm. Finally, an actual example with comparisons verifies the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.
RESUMEN
This article addresses the finite-time consensus tracking control problem for nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs), in which state variables are unmeasured and nonlinear functions are totally unknown. An observer is designed to estimate state variables and fuzzy-logic systems are employed to approximate nonlinearities. Then, an observer-based adaptive fuzzy consensus tracking controller is developed by using the backstepping technique and constructing a novel barrier Lyapunov function with the consideration of the characteristics of MASs. The proposed control protocol can guarantee that: 1) all signals in the closed-loop system keep bounded and 2) the consensus tracking error converges to a prespecified region of the origin in the prescribed finite time. Compared with the existing observer-based finite/fixed-time control protocols, the settling time and the convergence region in our work can be both preassigned by the designer and not affected by the unknown positive constant, which lies in the Lyapunov derivative inequality. Finally, two comparison simulation examples, including a numerical example and a practical example, check the availability of the designed control scheme.
RESUMEN
This article systematically addresses the distributed event-triggered containment control issues for multiagent systems subjected to unknown nonlinearities and external disturbances over a directed communication topology. Novel composite distributed adaptive neural network (NN) event-triggering conditions and event-triggered controller are raised meanwhile. Furthermore, the designed event-triggered controller is updated in an aperiodic way at the moment of event sampling, which saves the computation, resources, and transmission load. On the basis of the NN-based adaptive control techniques and event-triggered control strategies, the uniform ultimate bounded containment control can be achieved. In addition, the Zeno behavior is proven to be excluded. Simulation is presented to testify the effectiveness and advantages of the presented distributed containment control scheme.
RESUMEN
This article addresses the distributed model-free adaptive control (DMFAC) problem for learning nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) subjected to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. An improved dynamic linearization method is proposed to obtain an equivalent linear data model for learning systems. To alleviate the influence of DoS attacks, an attack compensation mechanism is developed. Based on the equivalent linear data model and the attack compensation mechanism, a novel learning-based DMFAC algorithm is developed to resist DoS attacks, which provides a unified framework to solve the leaderless consensus control, the leader-following consensus control, and the containment control problems. Finally, simulation examples are shown to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed DMFAC algorithm.
RESUMEN
The problem of the model-free adaptive resilient control (MFARC) for nonlinear cyber-physical systems (CPSs) suffered from aperiodic jamming attacks is investigated in this article. First, the MFARC framework subject to aperiodic jamming attacks is established, and an intermediate variable method is introduced to avoid using the unavailable time-varying parameter and further eliminate an extra assumption on the sign limit of it. Then, a MFARC scheme is devised to track the desired output, where the problem of the tracking control can be transformed into solving a feasibility problem, and the controller parameters can be obtained with the aid of the linear matrix inequality technique. What is more, a novel attack compensation mechanism is developed in the MFARC scheme to mitigate the impact of aperiodic jamming attacks. In the last, an example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the devised MFARC scheme.
RESUMEN
This article investigates a nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO)-based fault-tolerant sliding-mode control (SMC) for 2-D plane vehicular platoon systems subjected to actuator faults with unknown time-varying fault direction (UTVFD), asymmetric nonlinear actuator saturation (ANAS), nonlinear unmodeled dynamics, and unknown external disturbance. The Nussbaum-type function approach is adopted to solve the problem of actuator faults with UTVFD. The designed NDO not only can estimate the lumped disturbance accurately but also can reduce the control peaking and chattering phenomena caused by the Nussbaum-type function. Then, an adaptive saturation compensator is designed to compensate for the influence of actuator saturation on the system. In addition, by combining SMC technology with the prescribed tracking performance (PTP) approach, a distributed fault-tolerant control scheme is developed to not only ensure collision avoidance and communication connectivity but also realize a variety of driving scenarios, such as multilane vehicle merging and vehicular platoon lane changing. Finally, simulation results are presented to show the proposed scheme's effectiveness and advantages.
RESUMEN
In this article, a learning-based resilient fault-tolerant control method is proposed for a class of uncertain nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) to enhance the security and reliability against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and actuator faults. With the framework of cooperative output regulation, the developed algorithm consists of designing a distributed resilient observer and a decentralized fault-tolerant controller. Specifically, by using the data-driven method, an online resilient learning algorithm is first presented to learn the unknown exosystem matrix in the presence of DoS attacks. Then, a distributed resilient observer is proposed working against DoS attacks. In addition, based on the developed observer, a decentralized adaptive fault-tolerant controller is designed to compensate for actuator faults. Moreover, the convergence of error systems is shown by using the Lyapunov stability theory. The effectiveness of our result is examined by a simulation example.
RESUMEN
This article is concerned with the robust adaptive fault-tolerant control (FTC) circuit designs for a class of continuous-time disturbed systems. A circuit realization method is investigated to convert the robust adaptive FTC control schemes into analog control circuits. An adaptive compensation control scheme against state-dependent and partially bounded actuator faults and disturbances is first developed to demonstrate the approach clearly, then its equivalent control circuits are implemented by using the circuit theory. Compared with simulation results achieved by MATLAB and professional circuit simulation software, the effectiveness of the proposed robust adaptive FTC circuits is validated by a rocket fairing system and a Chua's circuit system.
RESUMEN
The problem of finite-time adaptive tracking control against event-trigger error is investigated in this article for a type of uncertain nonlinear systems. By fusing the techniques of command filter backstepping technical and event-triggered control (ETC), an adaptive event-triggered design method is proposed to construct the controller, under which the effect of event-triggered error can be compensated completely. Moreover, the proposed controller can increase robustness against uncertainties and event error in the backstepping design framework. In particular, we establish the finite-time convergence condition under which the tracking error asymptotically converges to zero in finite time with the aid of a scaling function. Detailed and rigorous stability proofs are given by making use of the improved finite time stability criterion. Two simulation examples are provided to exhibit the validity of the designed adaptive ETC approach.
RESUMEN
In this article, we consider the distributed fault-tolerant resilient consensus problem for heterogeneous multiagent systems (MASs) under both physical failures and network denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Different from the existing consensus results, the dynamic model of the leader is unknown for all followers in this article. To learn this unknown dynamic model under the influence of DoS attacks, a distributed resilient learning algorithm is proposed by using the idea of data-driven. Based on the learned dynamic model of the leader, a distributed resilient estimator is designed for each agent to estimate the states of the leader. Then, a new adaptive fault-tolerant resilient controller is designed to resist the effect of physical failures and network DoS attacks. Moreover, it is shown that the consensus can be achieved with the proposed learning-based fault-tolerant resilient control method. Finally, a simulation example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
RESUMEN
This article studies the observer-based event-triggered containment control problem for linear multiagent systems (MASs) under denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. In order to deal with situations where MASs states are unmeasurable, an improved separation method-based observer design method with less conservativeness is proposed to estimate MASs states. To save communication resources and achieve the containment control objective, a novel observer-based event-triggered containment controller design method based on observer states is proposed for MASs under the influence of DoS attacks, which can make the MASs resilient to DoS attacks. In addition, the Zeno behavior can be eliminated effectively by introducing a positive constant into the designed event-triggered mechanism. Finally, a practical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the designed observer and the event-triggered containment controller.
RESUMEN
In this article, the tracking control problems of the nonlinear nonstrict-feedback systems are considered. By combining the backstepping technique and bound estimation method, a novel nonlinear adaptive asymptotical control law is proposed, which offsets the effect of the unknown virtual control parameters and the uncertain nonlinearities. Correspondingly, an improved Lyapunov function by introducing the lower bounds of control parameters has been devised in this article. Compared with the existing adaptive tracking control schemes, the controller designed in this article can guarantee that the tracking control error converges to zero asymptotically and all the signals which contain the state variables and the adaptive laws are bounded. Moreover, the asymptotic stability of the system is realized for the first time. Finally, simulation examples are applied to test and prove the availability of the presented methods and the performance of the controlled system.
RESUMEN
This article is concerned with the event-triggered output consensus problem for heterogeneous multiagent systems (MASs) with nonuniform communication delays. Unlike the existing event-triggered consensus results, more general heterogeneous linear MASs and nonuniform communication delays are considered. To reduce communication among subsystems, novel dynamic periodic event-triggered mechanisms are proposed. By using the event-triggered signals at the previous sampling instant, new distributed observers are designed to eliminate asynchronous behavior caused by nonuniform communication delays. Based on the developed observers, the observer error system is converted into a time-delay system with interval time-varying delays. Besides, a controller is designed by using the states of observers. It is shown that the consensus problem can be solved by the proposed method. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the developed method.
RESUMEN
In this article, a new distributed learning control approach is proposed to address the cooperative fault-tolerant output regulation problem for linear multiagent systems with actuator faults. First, a distributed estimation algorithm with an online learning mechanism is presented to identify the system matrix of the exosystem and to estimate the state of the exosystem. In particular, an auxiliary variable is introduced in the distributed estimation algorithm to construct a data matrix, which is used to learn the system matrix of the exosystem for each subsystem. In addition, by resetting the state of the estimator and by using the identified matrix to update the estimator, all subsystems can reconstruct the state of the exosystem at an initial period of time, which is used for the neighbor subsystem to learn the system matrix of the exosystem. Based on the designed estimator, a novel distributed fault-tolerant controller is developed. Compared with the existing cooperative output regulation results, the system matrix of the exosystem considered in this article is unknown for all subsystems. Finally, a simulation example is provided to show the effectiveness of the obtained new design techniques.
