This paper presents control and coordination algorithms for groups of vehicles. The focus is on autonomous vehicle networks performing distributed sensing tasks where each vehicle plays the role of a mobile tunable sensor. The paper proposes gradient descent algorithms for a class of utility functions which encode optimal coverage and sensing policies. The resulting closed-loop behavior is adaptive, distributed, asynchronous, and verifiably correct.

Stability analysis for a class of switched nonlinear systems

On the asymptotic stability of switched homogeneous systems

Under study are systems of homogeneous differential equations with delay. We assume that in the absence of delay the trivial solutions to the systems under consideration are asymptotically stable. Using the direct Lyapunov method and Razumikhin’s approach, we show that if the order of homogeneity of the right-hand sides is greater than 1 then asymptotic stability persists for all values of delay. We estimate the time of transitions, study the influence of perturbations on the stability of the trivial solution, and prove a theorem on the asymptotic stability of a complex system describing the interaction of two nonlinear subsystems.

On the asymptotic stability of solutions of nonlinear systems with delay

Delay-independent stability of homogeneous systems

Hybrid mechanical systems with switched force fields, whose motions are described by differential second-order equations are considered. We propose two approaches to solving problems of analysis of stability and stabilization of an equilibrium position of the named systems. The first approach is based on the decomposition of an original system of differential equations into two systems of the same dimension but of the first order. The second approach is in direct specifying a construction of a general Lyapunov function for a mechanical system with switching.
