Combining the technologies of the satellite formation flying with the satellite to satellite tracking (SST), the effect of satellite formation flying on autonomous navigation is analyzed in this paper. Considering the effect of satellite formation flying, the autonomous navigation system with relative inertial-position vector measurement is proposed firstly. Then, observability of the system wi...

This paper proposes modeling the rapidly evolving energy systems as cyber-based physical systems. It introduces a novel cyber-based dynamical model whose mathematical description depends on the cyber technologies supporting the physical system. This paper discusses how such a model can be used to ensure full observability through a cooperative information exchange among its components; this is ...

Perkins’ Monte Carlo exploring starts for partially observable Markov decision processes (MCES-P) integrates Monte Carlo exploring starts into a local search of policy space to offer a template for reinforcement learning that operates under partial observability of the state. In this paper, we generalize the reinforcement learning under partial observability to the self-interested multiagent se...

This contribution is concerned with the observability and accessibility analysis of implicit discrete-time dynamic systems. The presented approach is motivated by a geometric representation of discrete-time systems and the crucial observation that the Lie group investigations known for implicit continuoustime dynamic systems is also appropriate in the discrete-time scenario. The obtained formal...

Many of the qualitative simulation algorithms so far proposed depend upon local propagation paradigm, and hence produce spurious states . Recent approaches use topological constraints in phase space diagrams for filtering the spurious states . We propose an alternative method of recognizing global properties in the graphically expressed qualitative model. Qualitative versions of such system-the...

I t is known that for affine nonlinear systems the drift-observability property (i. e. observability for zero input) is not sufficient to guarantee the existence of an asymptotic observer for any input. Many authors studied structura.l conditions that ensure uniform observability of nonlinear systems (i. e. observability for any input). Conditions are available that define classes of systems th...

This work is concerned with observability in Discrete Event Systems (DES) modeled by Interpreted Petri Nets (IPN). Three major contributions are presented. First, a novel geometric characterization of observability based on input-output equivalence relations on the marking sequences sets is presented. Later, to show that this characterization is well posed, it is applied to linear continuous sy...

An observability problem for linear autonomous distributed systems in the class of linear operations is considered. A criterion of observability with respect to terminal state has been proved. A connection with observability with respect to initial state is discussed.
