Additionally, uncertainties both within and outside the system adversely impact control performance. To address these issues, a Type‐II fuzzy sliding mode controller has proven effective in enhancing the anti‐swing control performance of the payload. However, due to the intricate parameter adjustment optimization problem and potential challenges in dealing with nonlinearity and uncertainty, especially in complex dynamic systems, this paper proposes a grey wolf algorithm based on a dynamic spiral hunting mechanism. This enhancement endows the algorithm with improved convergence speed and higher robustness, enabling more effective parameter tuning for the second‐order fractional‐order sliding mode controller (FSMC). The proposed algorithm demonstrates superior convergence speed and solution accuracy performance through testing and comparison. Finally, simulation verification under two conditions of the bridge crane system validates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":501055,"journal":{"name":"Optimal Control Applications and Methods","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141112494","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 solve the optimal control problem, we use an adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm based on policy iteration (PI). The approximate process is as follows: the performance index function (PIF) is first updated by the iteration policy in advance, and the control policy is obtained from the PIF. Subsequently, an approximate estimation of the optimal PIF and the optimal control policy is made using the actor‐critic structure obtained through neural network techniques. In order to reduce the occupied communication resources required for control policy iteration, we introduce an adaptive event triggering mechanism with an adaptive triggering threshold, which reduces the conservatism of resource occupation by the PIF compared to the fixed‐threshold ETM. In addition, an observer identifying the unknown dynamics part of the system is designed. Finally, using the Lyapunov function, it is shown that the designed control policy ensures the stability and convergence of the MJS, and the designed observer is effective. Simulation examples are given to verify the feasibility of the controller and the observer.","PeriodicalId":501055,"journal":{"name":"Optimal Control Applications and Methods","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141123023","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}

The process of cluster synchronization is segmented into three dynamic continuous stages: first, the free movement, then the task‐oriented clustering, and finally the cluster synchronization. The control scheme, founded on the clustering nodes of CDN, is proposed, such that the cluster synchronization arises when clustering all the nodes into two different sub‐networks (SNs). This approach originates from the flight motion for a group of autonomous aircrafts. At a certain moment, free flight is interrupted, and all the aircrafts split into two SNs according to the given clustering rules. Then the two controlled SNs are required to achieve cluster synchronization, that is, every SN converges to the same in speed. In order to split all the nodes into two different SNs, a clustering algorithm according to the “central nodes” is proposed. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, by designing the suitable inner cluster links, the adaptive controller of NS for each SN is synthesized to guarantee the stability of the error system. It is shown that the eventual inner topology of each SN is displayed in the pre‐given form when the cluster synchronization achieves. Finally, the merits and effectiveness of the proposed control scheme are verified by a simulation example.","PeriodicalId":501055,"journal":{"name":"Optimal Control Applications and Methods","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141122093","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}
