• ### Optimal Distributed Finite-Time Consensus On Unknown Undirected Graphs

Publication Year: 2015, Page(s):323 - 334
Cited by:  Papers (1)
| | PDF (482 KB) | HTML

For multiagent networks described by undirected connectivity graphs, the problem of optimal distributed consensus without prior knowledge of global connectivity is considered. The problem is formulated as a decentralized linear quadratic game, and a linear dynamic feedback scheme that couples the tasks of learning the network topology and driving the network state is shown to solve the game and ac...

• ### Information Exchange and Decision Making in Micro Aerial Vehicle Networks for Cooperative Search

Publication Year: 2015, Page(s):335 - 347

| | PDF (736 KB) | HTML

This paper considers a network of autonomous micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) cooperatively searching for multiple stationary targets. The objective is to minimize the search time while considering sensing and communication limitations. We derive limits for the required number of sensor observations considering false alarms and misdetections, to declare the existence or absence of a target. To minimiz... View full abstract»

• ### ${cal H}_{infty}$ Almost Output Synchronization for Heterogeneous Networks Without Exchange of Controller States

Publication Year: 2015, Page(s):348 - 357
Cited by:  Papers (6)
| | PDF (759 KB) | HTML

We consider the H∞ almost output synchronization and regulated output synchronization problem for heterogeneous directed networks with external disturbances where agents are introspective (i.e., agents have access to a part of their own states). A decentralized protocol is designed for each agent, without exchanging internal controller states with neighboring agents, to achieve o... View full abstract»

• ### A Sequential Cluster-Based Approach to Node Localizability of Sensor Networks

Publication Year: 2015, Page(s):358 - 369

| | PDF (1057 KB) | HTML

This paper addresses the node localizability problem in 2-D, aiming at determining which nodes are localizable in a sensor network with internode distance measurements. Toward this objective, a sequential cluster-based approach is proposed. The idea is to expand the set of localizable nodes starting from the set of anchor nodes cluster by cluster rather than node by node. Taking computation effici... View full abstract»

• ### Distributed Finite-Time Average Consensus in Digraphs in the Presence of Time Delays

Publication Year: 2015, Page(s):370 - 381
Cited by:  Papers (3)
| | PDF (1426 KB) | HTML

Most algorithms for distributed averaging only guarantee asymptotic convergence. This paper introduces a distributed protocol that allows nodes to find the exact average of the initial values in a finite and minimum number of steps on interconnection topologies described by strongly connected directed graphs (digraphs). More specifically, under the assumption that each component has knowledge of t... View full abstract»

• ### A Delay-Distribution Approach to Stabilization of Networked Control Systems

Publication Year: 2015, Page(s):382 - 392
Cited by:  Papers (1)
| | PDF (604 KB) | HTML

A novel delay-distribution approach is proposed for a continuous-time networked control system (NCS) with time-varying transmission delays and transmission intervals based on an input-delay approach. The real-time distribution of input delays is modeled as a continuous-dependent and nonidentically distributed (d.n.d.) process. By introducing multiple indicator functions, the NCS is represented as ... View full abstract»

• ### Leader-Following Coordination of Nonlinear Agents Under Time-Varying Communication Topologies

Publication Year: 2015, Page(s):393 - 405
Cited by:  Papers (5)
| | PDF (496 KB) | HTML

This paper deals with the problem of synchronizing the outputs of a set of nonlinear agents that exchange information through a time-varying communication network in a leader-follower configuration. The dynamics of the individual followers may differ from each other and from that of the leader. The information exchange between the leader and (a limited fraction of) the followers as well as between... View full abstract»

• ### Decentralized Protection Strategies Against SIS Epidemics in Networks

| | PDF (821 KB) | HTML

Defining an optimal protection strategy against viruses, spam propagation, or any other kind of contamination process is an important feature for designing new networks and architectures. In this paper, we consider decentralized optimal protection strategies when a virus is propagating over a network through an SIS epidemic process. We assume that each node in the network can fully protect itself ... View full abstract»

• ### Decentralized Control of Linear Switched Nested Systems With $ell_{2}$-Induced Norm Performance

Publication Year: 2015, Page(s):420 - 432
| | PDF (590 KB) | HTML

This paper considers a decentralized switched control problem where exact conditions for controller synthesis are obtained in the form of semidefinite programming (SDP). The formulation involves a discrete-time switched linear plant that has a nested structure, and whose system matrices switch between a finite number of values according to finite-state automation. The goal of this paper is to synt... View full abstract»
