This property is instrumental for leveraging geometric approaches for solving multiple pursuit-evasion scenarios in the plane. In this paper, we study a pursuit-evasion differential game on a sphere and generalize the planar Apollonius circle to the spherical domain. For the differential game, we provide equilibrium strategies for all initial positions of the pursuer and evader, including a special case when they are on the opposite sides of the sphere and on the same line with the center of the sphere when there are infinitely many geodesics between the two players. In contrast to planar scenarios, on the sphere we find that the interception point from the equilibrium strategies can leave the Apollonius domain boundary. We present a condition to ensure the intercept point remains on the boundary of the Apollonius domain. This condition allows for generalizing planar pursuit-evasion strategies to the sphere, and we show how these results are applied by analyzing the scenarios of target guarding and two-pursuer, single evader differential games on the sphere.","PeriodicalId":73299,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of control systems","volume":"4 ","pages":"360-372"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11145945","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145141640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Optimization-based control of such systems with discrete and continuous decision variables entails the online solution of mixed-integer linear programs, which suffer from the curse of dimensionality. In the proposed approach, by repeated interaction with a simulator of the system, a reinforcement learning agent is trained to provide a policy for the discrete decision variables. During online operation, the RL policy simplifies the online optimization problem of the MPC controller from a mixed-integer linear program to a linear program, significantly reducing the computation time. A fundamental contribution of this work is the definition of the decoupled Q-function, which plays a crucial role in making the learning problem tractable in a combinatorial action space. We motivate the use of recurrent neural networks to approximate the decoupled Q-function and show how they can be employed in a reinforcement learning setting. A microgrid system is used as an illustrative example where real-world data is used to demonstrate that the proposed method substantially reduces the maximum online computation time of MPC (up to <inline-formula><tex-math>$20times$</tex-math></inline-formula>) while maintaining high feasibility and average optimality gap lower than 1.1% .","PeriodicalId":73299,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of control systems","volume":"4 ","pages":"316-331"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11134093","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145027930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

GNNs have proven highly effective in various network-based learning applications and require some form of node features to function. However, their performance is heavily influenced by the expressiveness of these features. In social networks, node features are often unavailable due to privacy constraints or the absence of inherent attributes, making it challenging for GNNs to achieve optimal performance. To address this limitation, we propose two strategies for constructing expressive node features. First, we introduce average controllability along with other centrality metrics (denoted as NCT-EFA) as node-level metrics that capture critical aspects of network topology. Building on this, we develop a rank encoding method that transforms average controllability—or any other graph-theoretic metric—into a fixed-dimensional feature space, thereby improving feature representation. We conduct extensive numerical evaluations using six benchmark GNN models across four social network datasets to compare different node feature construction methods. Our results demonstrate that incorporating average controllability into the feature space significantly improves GNN performance. Moreover, the proposed rank encoding method outperforms traditional one-hot degree encoding, improving the ROC AUC from 68.7% to 73.9% using GraphSAGE on the GitHub Stargazers dataset, underscoring its effectiveness in generating expressive and efficient node representations.","PeriodicalId":73299,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of control systems","volume":"4 ","pages":"288-298"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11126872","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145021271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We consider a selection of sensors that is randomly chosen with replacement for a stochastic linear dynamical system, and we utilize the Kalman filter to perform state estimation. Our main contributions are four-fold. First, we derive novel matrix concentration inequalities (CIs) for a sum of positive semi-definite random matrices. Second, we provide two algorithms for specifying the parameters required to apply our matrix CIs, a novel statistical tool. Third, we propose two avenues for improving the sample complexity of this statistical tool. Fourth, we provide a procedure for optimizing the semi-definite bounds of our matrix CIs. When our matrix CIs are applied to the problem of sensor selection for state estimation, our final contribution is a procedure for optimizing the filtered state estimation error covariance matrix of the Kalman filter. Finally, we show through simulations that our bounds significantly outperform those of an existing matrix CI and are applicable for a larger parameter regime.

Apart from the heterogenity in nodal dynamics, the inner-coupling matrices that quantify the interactions among nodes are also different. In contrast to the existing literature, the system under consideration has distinct node dimensions, which adds to the generality. Necessary and sufficient conditions for controllability and observability as well as certain necessary conditions for controllability of a class of networked systems are established. These conditions show the dependence of network controllability and observability on various node and network-specific factors. As a practical application, a three-sector economy is modelled as a heterogeneous networked system with distinct node dimensions and its controllability is analysed. Computational time in floating point operations (flops) of the proposed methods are estimated, which indicates their efficiency on comparison with the classical conditions. This is illustrated by computational comparison of the existing and proposed schemes, applied to a randomly generated networked system. Also, robustness of the proposed schemes are analysed with the example of randomly generated networked systems. All the results are supported with illustrative numerical examples.","PeriodicalId":73299,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of control systems","volume":"4 ","pages":"219-235"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11075535","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144831949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
