Distributed cooperative control for multi-agent systems

Guoguang Wen
TL;DR: The closing ranks problem, which deals with the addition of links to a rigid multi-agent formation that is “damaged" by losing one of its agents, is mainly focused on, and some systematic 'self-repair' operations are proposed to recover the rigidity in case of agent removals.

Optimization methods and stability of inclusions in Banach spaces

TL;DR: It is shown that linear convergence of several first order methods and Lipschitz stability mean the same, and calmness and the Aubin property is characterized by uniformly (with respect to certain starting points)linear convergence of descent methods and approximate projection methods.

History-dependent variational–hemivariational inequalities in contact mechanics ☆

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a viscoelastic contact problem, where the contact is frictionless and is modeled with a new boundary condition which describes both the instantaneous and the memory effects of the foundation.
