The strategy relies on network matrix information to choose controlled nodes and adopts the algebraic state space representation approach for designing pinning controllers. Initially, a sufficient criterion is established to verify the global stability of a given Markovian jump Boolean network (MJBN) with probability one at a specific state within finite time. To stabilize an unstable MJBN at a predetermined state, the selection of pinned nodes involves removing the minimal number of entries, ensuring that the network matrix transforms into a strictly lower (or upper) triangular form. For each pinned node, two types of state feedback controllers are developed: 1) mode-dependent and 2) mode-independent, with a focus on designing a minimally updating controller. The choice of controller type is determined by the feasibility condition of the mode-dependent pinning controller, which is articulated through the solvability of matrix equations. Finally, the theoretical results are illustrated by studying the T cell large granular lymphocyte survival signaling network consisting of 54 genes and 6 stimuli.</p>","PeriodicalId":13112,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics","volume":"PP ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143657078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To overcome the challenges caused by the considered problem, a new layered NE control method is developed, which consists of a resilient distributed NE seeking algorithm, two-stage cascade filters, and a resilient adaptive controller. Specifically, the resilient distributed NE seeking algorithm is proposed to ensure that the actions in this algorithm converge to the NE even under DoS attacks. Then, the improved actions with smooth characteristics are designed by introducing novel two-stage cascade filters. By using newly designed actions and their derivatives, a resilient adaptive controller is proposed to ensure that the output of MASs converges to the NE.

Unlike the previous researches that address (or avoid) the problem of limited network resources by designing different scheduling protocols, this study focuses on further reducing and optimizing the bandwidth utilization by introducing a bit rate constraint model. Thus, an encoding-decoding mechanism under the constrained bit rates is proposed based on the quantization method. In order to analyze the H<sub>∞</sub> performance of the LRP and design an appropriate controller, the LRP is transformed into a shift-varying two-dimensional (2-D) Fornasini-Marchesini model. Sufficient conditions in recursive linear matrix inequalities are proposed to ensure that the extended system achieves a bounded H<sub>∞</sub> performance over a finite horizon within the 2-D framework.

Moreover, by leveraging a mixture of soft-sensing and real-measured signals, a dual-rate integral-based prescribed performance control (DRIPPC) approach is devised. The benefit lies in that the proposed control method samples the low-frequency state signal while generating a relatively high-frequency control action, ensuring rapid response of the robot manipulator while maintaining strict adherence to field-of-view (FOV) constraints.

Using the estimator IRL algorithm results, a robust algorithm for model-free IRL is presented to reconstruct the learner MAS's optimal control and reward functions without knowing the learners' dynamics. Therefore, estimator MAS aims to estimate experts' desired formation and learner MAS wants to track the estimators' trajectories optimally. As a final step, data-driven implementations of these proposed IRL algorithms are presented. Consequently, this research contributes to identifying unknown reward functions and optimal controls by conducting demonstrations.
