However, the costs associated with establishing an alliance may outweigh the potential benefits. This study investigates costly alliance formation in the framework of coalitional Blotto games, in which two players compete separately against a common adversary and are able to collude by exchanging resources with one another. Previous work has shown that both players in the alliance can mutually benefit if one player unilaterally donates, or transfers, a portion of their budget to the other. In this letter, we consider a variation where the transfer of resources is inherently inefficient, meaning that the recipient of the transfer only receives a fraction of the donation. Our findings reveal that even in the presence of inefficiencies, mutually beneficial transfers are still possible. More formally, our main result provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such transfers, offering insights into the robustness of alliance formation in competitive environments with resource constraints.","PeriodicalId":37235,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Control Systems Letters","volume":"8 ","pages":"2907-2912"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142976172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the approach can demand large sample sizes, making it intractable for safety-critical applications that require very low levels of constraint violation. To address this challenge, we propose a novel yet simple constraint scaling method, inspired by large deviations theory. Under mild nonparametric conditions on the underlying probability distribution, we show that our method yields an exponential reduction in sample size requirements for bilinear constraints with low violation levels compared to the classical approach, thereby significantly improving computational tractability. Numerical experiments on robust pole assignment problems support our theoretical findings.","PeriodicalId":37235,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Control Systems Letters","volume":"8 ","pages":"2793-2798"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142858886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this problem, an anti-windup compensator (AWC) is developed to reduce the tracking performance degradation and destabilizing effects from thrust saturation. Relationships are derived showing how the tracking error and AWC states are influenced by the wind disturbance and saturation, and how the influences depend on the controller and AWC gains. As a result, these gains can be tuned to achieve desired performance levels. Simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":37235,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Control Systems Letters","volume":"8 ","pages":"2913-2918"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142975931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We first formulate a multi-objective optimization problem to account for these two criteria and demonstrate the intrinsic contradiction between them, emphasizing the need for a trade-off through the concept of Pareto optimality. We then employ the \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$varepsilon $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000-constraint method to approximate the Pareto curve and illustrate its concavity and strict monotonicity. Due to the lack of a natural order, the points along the Pareto curve are noncomparable and we introduce two additional metrics—the distance to an ideal point and the mixing rate—to discriminate over different Pareto optimal solutions. We demonstrate that the optimal Markov chain minimizing the distance to an ideal point can be identified through convex optimization. While for optimizing the mixing rate over the Pareto curve, we first analyze several tractable examples to establish some intuitions and then propose a bisection-based heuristic algorithm.","PeriodicalId":37235,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Control Systems Letters","volume":"8 ","pages":"2829-2834"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142858892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In non-cooperative games, one challenge is to provide agents with knowledge about the task efficiently to speed up the convergence to an optimal policy. We aim to provide this knowledge in the form of deterministic finite automata (DFA) generated by LLMs (LLM-generated DFA). Additionally, we use reward machines (RMs) to encode the temporal structure of the game and the non-Markovian or Markovian reward functions. Our proposed algorithm, LLM-generated DFA for Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning with Reward Machines for Stochastic Games (StochQ-RM), can learn an equivalent reward machine to the ground truth reward machine (specified task) in the environment using the LLM-generated DFA. Additionally, we propose DFA-based q-learning with reward machines (DBQRM) to find the best responses for each agent using Nash equilibrium in stochastic games. Despite the fact that the LLMs are known to hallucinate, we show that our method is robust and guaranteed to converge to an optimal policy. Furthermore, we study the performance of our proposed method in three case studies.","PeriodicalId":37235,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Control Systems Letters","volume":"8 ","pages":"2757-2762"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142858883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We then introduce a new condition that guarantees exponential convergence of the cost function to its optimal value, and show that this condition implies the proximal Polyak-Łojasiewicz condition. We also show that the proximal Polyak-Łojasiewicz condition guarantees exponential convergence of the cost function.

Like string stability, mesh stability is adopted in these higher dimensional platoons to capture the non-increasing tracking errors over the networks. In this letter, we extend the traditional vehicular platooning control to higher dimensional rigid body scenarios with mesh stability concerns. The main challenges stem from the inherent underactuation of rigid body dynamics, the nonlinearity introduced by the \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$SOtextit {(}3textit {)}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000-based rotations, and the maintenance of mesh stability for all formations.
