Moreover, the network-induced transmission delays are considered, which result in the final closed-loop system as an impulsive delayed one. With the help of the constructed impulse-time-delayed Lyapunov functional, a new sufficient condition is developed to guarantee the exponential stability of the addressed system.

To this end, with the assistance of the average dwell time analytical method, the restrictions on both the DoS attack intensity and the switching frequency between “chasing unawareness” and “chasing awareness” are given to guarantee finite-time capturing of the chaser.

The generalized Nash equilibrium (GNE) analysis of the proposed game model is conducted. The direct analysis of this game of practical interest is nontrivial, but it turns out that one can construct an auxiliary game that allows one to prove existence and uniqueness and to compute the GNE and the optimal centralized solution (sum cost) of the game. These results allow us to assess numerically the loss (measured in terms of price of anarchy) induced by decentralization with or without taking into account the opinion dynamics.","PeriodicalId":56023,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems","volume":"12 1","pages":"1137-1149"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141778263","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 reference generator is based on the estimation of the left eigenvector of the Laplacian matrix and is suitable for unbalanced digraphs. Moreover, the backstepping design technique is efficiently combined with the distributed optimization scheme, leading to a systematic solution for the high-order nonlinear MAS. It is proven that all the outputs of the MAS exponentially converge to the optimal solution of the resource allocation problem under the proposed control. Compared with the existing optimal resource allocation strategies for MASs, the proposed control strategy is applicable to high-order nonlinear MASs and shows favorable exponential convergence, even for unbalanced digraphs.

To enhance the rapidity of the systems, a distributed bang–bang control algorithm is introduced with communication delays. It is shown that all trains will eventually achieve stable operation with a desired velocity while remaining in the self-adjusting zones in the absence of communication delays or remaining in the neighborhood of the self-adjusting zones in the presence of communication delays.

GNSS positioning relies on pseudorange measurements from satellites to receivers. A pseudorange is the apparent distance between two agents deduced from the time-of-flight of a signal sent from one agent to the other, because of the lack of synchronization between the agents' clocks, it is a biased version of their distance. In this article, we introduce a new rigidity theory adapted to pseudorange measurements. The peculiarity of pseudoranges is that they are asymmetrical measurements. Therefore, unlike other usual rigidities, the graphs of pseudorange frameworks are directed. In this article, pseudorange rigidity is proved to be a generic property of the underlying undirected graph of constraints. The main result is a characterization of rigid pseudorange graphs as combinations of rigid distance graphs and connected graphs. This new theory is adapted for GNSS. It provides new insights into the minimum number of satellites needed to locate a receiver and is applied to the localization of GNSS cooperative networks of receivers. The interests of asymmetrical constraints in the context of formation control are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":56023,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems","volume":"12 1","pages":"1176-1187"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141778274","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}
