A Markov jump system framework is established to model abrupt mode transitions caused by stochastic events, such as line faults and lightning strikes in single-machine infinite bus systems. Considering practical delays between supervisory control and data acquisition-based mode detection and control implementation, an asynchronous control architecture is developed in which the controller runs under mismatched mode information. A data-driven Q-learning-based policy iteration algorithm is proposed to compute the optimal controller gains without requiring knowledge of system dynamics or mode transition probabilities. The algorithm relies solely on previously collected input-state data that satisfy a rank condition and converges to the model-based optimal solution. Simulation studies show that the proposed controller reduces transient state deviations by about 30% compared with an linear matrix inequalities-based asynchronous controller, ensuring stability and effective damping performance under both mode mismatch and system uncertainties.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"256-265"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147727239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, these methods often fail to address the coupling effects of communication delays and external disturbances. Typically, they rely on predictive mechanisms that require substantial communication overhead. This study focuses on the distributed optimal consensus control problem of high-order nonlinear MASs with communication delays and disturbances, aiming to overcome the limitations of existing approaches. First, a PI variable incorporating communication delays is formulated using passive scattering transformation. Second, we achieve distributed optimization control for MASs with communication delays by applying scattering transformation techniques. Furthermore, this article proposes a PI regulator that integrates with Nussbaum functions to achieve optimal consensus for high-order nonlinear agents with unknown control directions and bounded external disturbances. Finally, numerical simulations demonstrate the efficacy of our distributed optimization algorithm.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"276-287"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147727248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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 estimate the leader’s output, an estimator incorporating a static gain is first designed for each agent, ensuring that the estimation error converges to a prespecified accuracy in finite time. Based on the gain-based estimator, an adaptive control scheme is proposed, which not only achieves global boundedness of all closed-loop signals, but also guarantees that the consensus error converges to an arbitrarily small neighborhood of the origin in finite time. Distinct from related results, the agents in this article exhibit both different dynamics and state dimensions. Moreover, asynchronous and discontinuous communication among neighboring agents is achieved, and the nondifferentiability problem arising from the use of triggered states is effectively avoided. A simulation example is given to demonstrate the main results.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"266-275"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147727249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A double dynamic event-triggered control scheme has been proposed to reduce unnecessary triggering behaviors and thus save resources. This scheme consists of two independent dynamic event triggering mechanisms: one controls communication between agents, and the other determines controller updates. To avoid Zeno behavior, a constant has been added to the triggering mechanism. Moreover, a simplified parameter selection procedure is proposed that eliminates the need for verification of matrix inequalities. In addition, this work was explored in a directed network consisting of only one spanning tree. Finally, the correctness of the presented control strategy is verified through a simulation example.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"288-297"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147727251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The integration of data communications and industrial control systems has enabled NMGs to provide real-time monitoring and refined control for applications such as energy load balancing. These systems rely on current public-key cryptosystems to secure data communications based on certain computational hardness assumptions. However, the advent of quantum computing poses a significant threat to these cryptosystems because quantum algorithms, such as Shor’s algorithm, have demonstrated that quantum computers are capable of cracking these cryptosystems in practical time. To address this emerging challenge, quantum secure technologies such as postquantum cryptography and quantum key distribution are being explored as complementary approaches to achieve quantum-resilient security. This article reviews the ideas of quantum-secured NMGs (QS-NMGs) and identifies the relevant quantum-cryptographic technologies for QS-NMGs. The study will help scientists, engineers, and policymakers identify limitations of the current literature and discover future research avenues.","PeriodicalId":55017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Systems Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"298-309"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147727241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main challenge lies in overcoming the strong nonlinearities introduced by the coupling between the position constraints and the integral relationships of the high-order agents’ states. To tackle this issue, we propose an active-constrained consensus algorithm and establish a constrained equivalent system to keep agents within their respective position constraint sets. Through a series of model transformations and fully exploiting the convexity of the equivalent system, it is demonstrated that consensus can be achieved even when position constraints, high-order dynamics, switching graphs, and communication delays coexist.
