TL;DR: Two novel observer-based event-triggered control schemes, one centralized and the other distributed, are developed and it is shown that under the proposed control protocols, consensus can be reached if the underlying communication graph of the MAS is connected.
Abstract: This paper studies the consensus problem of linear multi-agent systems via observer-based event-triggered control. Two novel observer-based event-triggered control schemes, one centralized and the other distributed, are developed. It is shown that under the proposed control protocols, consensus can be reached if the underlying communication graph of the MAS is connected. An example is finally presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control methods.

TL;DR: An adaptive event- triggering LFC scheme is presented, where the event-triggering threshold can be dynamically adjusted to save more limited network resources, while preserving the desired control performance.
Abstract: Load frequency control (LFC) is a very important method to keep the power systems stable and secure. However, due to the introduction of communication networks in multi-area power systems, the traditional LFC method is not effective again. This motivates us to investigate an adaptive event-triggering ${H}_{\infty }$ LFC scheme for multi-area power systems. Compared with the existing time-invariant event-triggering communication scheme, an adaptive event-triggering communication scheme is presented, where the event-triggering threshold can be dynamically adjusted to save more limited network resources, while preserving the desired control performance. Compared with the existing emulation-based method, where the controller must be known a priori , the stability and stabilization criteria derived in this work can provide a tradeoff to balance the required communication resources and the desired control performance. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by two numerical examples.

TL;DR: Some novel sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee that the closed-loop system reaches a specified cost value under the designed jumping state feedback control law in terms of linear matrix inequalities.
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the guaranteed cost control problem for a class of Markov jump discrete-time neural networks (NNs) with event-triggered mechanism, asynchronous jumping, and fading channels. The Markov jump NNs are introduced to be close to reality, where the modes of the NNs and guaranteed cost controller are determined by two mutually independent Markov chains. The asynchronous phenomenon is considered, which increases the difficulty of designing required mode-dependent controller. The event-triggered mechanism is designed by comparing the relative measurement error with the last triggered state at the process of data transmission, which is used to eliminate dispensable transmission and reduce the networked energy consumption. In addition, the signal fading is considered for the effect of signal reflection and shadow in wireless networks, which is modeled by the novel Rice fading models. Some novel sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee that the closed-loop system reaches a specified cost value under the designed jumping state feedback control law in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, some simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

TL;DR: This paper is concerned with reliable fuzzy tracking control for a near-space hypersonic vehicle (NSHV) subject to aperiodic measurement information and stochastic actuator failures.
Abstract: This paper is concerned with reliable fuzzy tracking control for a near-space hypersonic vehicle (NSHV) subject to aperiodic measurement information and stochastic actuator failures. The NSHV dynamics is approximated by the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy models and the stochastic failures are characterized by a Markov chain. Different with the existing tracking results on NSHV, only the aperiodic sampling measurements are available during system operation. To realize the tracking objective, a reliable fuzzy sampled-data tracking control strategy is presented. An appropriate time-dependent Lyapunov function is constructed to fully capture the real sampling pattern. The sampling-interval-dependent mean square exponential stability criterion with disturbance attenuation is then established. The solution of the tracking controller gains can be obtained by solving an optimization problem. Finally, the simulation studies on NSHV dynamics in the entry phase are performed to verify the validity of the developed fuzzy tracking control strategy.

TL;DR: This paper proposes gradient descent algorithms for a class of utility functions which encode optimal coverage and sensing policies which are adaptive, distributed, asynchronous, and verifiably correct.
Abstract: 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.

TL;DR: In this paper, a number of quantized feedback design problems for linear systems were studied and the authors showed that the classical sector bound approach is non-conservative for studying these design problems.
Abstract: This paper studies a number of quantized feedback design problems for linear systems. We consider the case where quantizers are static (memoryless). The common aim of these design problems is to stabilize the given system or to achieve certain performance with the coarsest quantization density. Our main discovery is that the classical sector bound approach is nonconservative for studying these design problems. Consequently, we are able to convert many quantized feedback design problems to well-known robust control problems with sector bound uncertainties. In particular, we derive the coarsest quantization densities for stabilization for multiple-input-multiple-output systems in both state feedback and output feedback cases; and we also derive conditions for quantized feedback control for quadratic cost and H/sub /spl infin// performances.

TL;DR: An overview of recent advances in event-triggered consensus of MASs is provided and some in-depth analysis is made on several event- Triggered schemes, including event-based sampling schemes, model-based event-Triggered scheme, sampled-data-basedevent-trIGgered schemes), and self- triggered sampling schemes.
Abstract: Event-triggered consensus of multiagent systems (MASs) has attracted tremendous attention from both theoretical and practical perspectives due to the fact that it enables all agents eventually to reach an agreement upon a common quantity of interest while significantly alleviating utilization of communication and computation resources. This paper aims to provide an overview of recent advances in event-triggered consensus of MASs. First, a basic framework of multiagent event-triggered operational mechanisms is established. Second, representative results and methodologies reported in the literature are reviewed and some in-depth analysis is made on several event-triggered schemes, including event-based sampling schemes, model-based event-triggered schemes, sampled-data-based event-triggered schemes, and self-triggered sampling schemes. Third, two examples are outlined to show applicability of event-triggered consensus in power sharing of microgrids and formation control of multirobot systems, respectively. Finally, some challenging issues on event-triggered consensus are proposed for future research.

TL;DR: This paper provides an overview and makes a deep investigation on sampled-data-based event-triggered control and filtering for networked systems, finding that a sampled- Data-based Event-Triggered Scheme can ensure a positive minimum inter-event time and make it possible to jointly design suitable feedback controllers and event- triggered threshold parameters.
Abstract: This paper provides an overview and makes a deep investigation on sampled-data-based event-triggered control and filtering for networked systems. Compared with some existing event-triggered and self-triggered schemes, a sampled-data-based event-triggered scheme can ensure a positive minimum inter-event time and make it possible to jointly design suitable feedback controllers and event-triggered threshold parameters. Thus, more attention has been paid to the sampled-data-based event-triggered scheme. A deep investigation is first made on the sampled-data-based event-triggered scheme. Then, recent results on sampled-data-based event-triggered state feedback control, dynamic output feedback control, $H_\infty$ filtering for networked systems are surveyed and analyzed. An overview on sampled-data-based event-triggered consensus for distributed multiagent systems is given. Finally, some challenging issues are addressed to direct the future research.

TL;DR: An event-triggered formation protocol is delicately proposed by using only locally triggered sampled data in a distributed manner and the state formation control problem is cast into an asymptotic stability problem of a reduced-order closed-loop system.
Abstract: This paper addresses the distributed formation control problem of a networked multi-agent system (MAS) subject to limited communication resources. First, a dynamic event-triggered communication mechanism (DECM) is developed to schedule inter-agent communication such that some unnecessary data exchanges among agents can be reduced so as to achieve better resource efficiency. Different from most of the existing event-triggered communication mechanisms, wherein threshold parameters are fixed all the time, the threshold parameter in the developed event triggering condition is dynamically adjustable in accordance with a dynamic rule. It is numerically shown that the proposed DECM can achieve a better tradeoff between reducing inter-agent communication frequency and preserving an expected formation than some existing ones. Second, an event-triggered formation protocol is delicately proposed by using only locally triggered sampled data in a distributed manner. Based on the formation protocol, it is shown that the state formation control problem is cast into an asymptotic stability problem of a reduced-order closed-loop system. Then, criteria for designing desired formation protocol and communication mechanism are derived. Finally, the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed approach are demonstrated through a comparative study in multirobot formation control.
