A novel distributed adaptive iterative learning group consensus protocol is designed, which consists of two main components. The first component is based on time‐varying neural networks, which is used to approximate the unknown nonlinear function in the ‐step ahead predictor. In general, not all followers can access the information regarding the leader, which complicates the design of iterative learning protocols for MASs. Therefore, the second component of the protocol addresses this challenge by treating the leader's output as a time‐varying parameter and designing a time‐varying auxiliary term to compensate the leader's output information. Parameter updating laws and initial state learning laws are also proposed via the cooperative‐competitive relationship between the agents. We demonstrate the group consensus with sufficient small errors can be achieved at time , as the number of iterations proceed to infinity. Then, the results are extended to the case of multisubgroups and multileaders.

Mathematically, these limitations manifest as constraints imposed on the control actions, their rates of change, and, more generally, the global behavior of their paths. While the problem of actuator saturation has been studied extensively, little attention has been devoted to the problem of actuators having limited bandwidth. While attempts have been made in the direction of incorporating frequency constraints on state‐action trajectories before, rate constraints on the control at the design stage have not been studied extensively in the discrete‐time regime. This article contributes toward filling this lacuna: We establish a new discrete‐time Pontryagin maximum principle with <jats:italic>rate constraints</jats:italic> imposed on the control trajectories and derive first‐order necessary conditions for optimality.

The purpose is to introduce a filter to guarantee that the filtering error system is not only asymptotically mean square stable, but also satisfies the disturbance attenuation performance. An improved decoupling method is proposed to acquire the 2‐D filter parameters such that the conservatism of the 2‐D filter designed law can be effectively reduced.

Standard sliding mode control (SMC) has some well‐known drawbacks: the chattering effect and parameter restriction, which determines how quickly the controller accesses the sliding surface and the steady‐state error. First, the super‐twisting algorithm is employed in the control rule of the proposed controller to suppress the chattering effect. Then, parameter limitation, another deficiency of the SMC, has been eliminated by employing a PI‐based surface. The PI‐based surface also improves the controller's adjustment parameters by developing adaptability in parameter choices. The buck converter's dynamic response is enhanced by the addition of a novel parameter to the sliding surface of the suggested controller. Furthermore, Lyapunov stability analysis is described in order to evaluate the theoretical stability of the proposed controller. The efficacy of the suggested controller has been demonstrated through an array of simulations and an experimental configuration across various evaluation conditions. The simulation and experimental results show that the reference‐tracking capability is effective in the presence of disturbances. Furthermore, the proposed switching rule effectively eliminates the chattering effect. The suggested controller outperforms existing techniques in terms of both dynamic performance and disturbance robustness.","PeriodicalId":55453,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Control","volume":"148 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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 AF relay is located between the sensor and the estimator to forward measurement signals for facilitating long‐distance transmission. A binary encoding scheme is used to regulate signal transmission via a digital network where the signal is encoded into a bit string and decoded at the endpoint of the receiver. Because of the uncertainty of the network and the existence of channel noises, a set of Bernoulli distributed random variables is introduced to characterize the random bit flip phenomenon. The purpose of the addressed problem is to design a fusion estimator to simultaneously reflect the impact of multiplicative noises, the AF relay, the binary encoding scheme, and the random bit flip on the filtering error covariance. First of all, an upper bound for the filtering error covariance of the local estimator can be acquired, and by minimizing such an upper bound, the parametric form of the gain matrix is obtained. Subsequently, the fusion estimation is given based on the covariance intersection fusion strategy. Finally, a simulation example is presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed multi‐sensor fusion estimation.","PeriodicalId":55453,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Control","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141785193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An adaptive fixed‐time control strategy is designed to guarantee that the output signal can track the desired trajectory within a fixed time, where the convergence time is independent of the initial condition. Compared with existing results, the proposed controller guarantees the controlled system maintains semiglobal fixed‐time stability and the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood around zero.
