A criterion is derived to check solvability of DDP just using the experimental (noisy) data. Further, data-driven computation of the largest controlled invariant subspace contained in the kernel of the output matrix is provided. The necessary state feedback matrices (often called friends of this subspace) for solving the DDP, are also computed using the experimental (noisy) data. In the process, several novel equivalent conditions for solvability of DDP are also established.","PeriodicalId":37235,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Control Systems Letters","volume":"8 ","pages":"3374-3379"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143422852","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}

This framework emphasizes that the safety bounds are relevant to the disturbances, acknowledging the critical impact of disturbances on system safety. This letter incorporates a disturbance observer (DO) as an adaptive mechanism of the safety bounds design. Instead of considering the worst-case scenario, the safety bounds are dynamically adjusted using DO. The forward invariance of the proposed method regardless of the observer error is ensured, and the corresponding optimal control formulation is presented. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated through simulations of a cruise control problem under varying road grades. The influence of road grade on the safe distance between vehicles is analyzed and managed using a DO. The results demonstrate the advantages of this approach in maintaining safety and improving system performance under disturbances.","PeriodicalId":37235,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Control Systems Letters","volume":"8 ","pages":"3380-3385"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143422952","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 groups, where strategic decisions are shaped by the tension between cooperation and defection, the replicator equation serves as a valuable tool underpinning the modelling of evolutionary dynamics of strategies. In this letter, we integrate the replicator dynamics with an SI (Susceptible-Infected) model for information diffusion in general networks. Considering also conformity, we model the evolution of cooperation in a public good game. The trajectories of the resulting dynamical systems converge to consensus about an internal point solution in the snowdrift setting and boundary solutions of full cooperation or full defection in social dilemmas, asymmetric games and stag hunt settings. Through the application of the Lyapunov stability theorem, we establish the stability of the internal equilibrium point. We then examine the basin of attraction obtaining the conditions leading to full cooperation.

Parameter convergence to true values is analyzed without the persistence of excitation (PE) condition on the regressor with the dual layer low pass filter architecture. Inspired by the author’s previous work on switched linear systems, this letter extends the idea of memory augmentation for parameter learning in the inactive phase of the subsystem and intermittent initial excitation (IIE) condition to relax the PE condition to switched EL systems. The combination of memory augmentation and IIE conditions helps achieve the global exponential stability (GES) of the overall error of switched EL systems.

The resultant system of nonlinear equations depends on the network topology, and in general, there is no numerical algorithm that offers guaranteed convergence to the solution (assuming a solution exists). Some methods offer guarantees in cases where the network topology satisfies certain assumptions, but these methods fail for larger networks. On the other hand, the Newton-Raphson algorithm offers a convergence guarantee if the starting point lies close to the (unknown) solution. It would be advantageous to compute the solution of the large nonlinear system through the solution of smaller nonlinear sub-systems wherein the solution algorithms (Newton-Raphson or otherwise) are more likely to succeed.

Applications of these tensors include chemometrics, psychometrics, and image/video processing. However, traditional data-driven frameworks are not naturally equipped to process tensors without first unfolding or flattening the data, which can result in a loss of crucial higher-order structural information. In this letter, we introduce a novel framework for data-driven analysis of T-product-based dynamical systems (TPDSs), where the system evolution is governed by the T-product between a third-order dynamic tensor and a third-order state tensor. In particular, we examine the data informativity of TPDSs concerning system identification, stability, controllability, and stabilizability and illustrate significant computational improvements over unfolding-based approaches by leveraging the unique properties of the T-product. The effectiveness of our framework is demonstrated through both synthetic and real-world examples.","PeriodicalId":37235,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Control Systems Letters","volume":"8 ","pages":"3356-3361"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143184171","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}
