a second-order leader-following consensus algorithm in multi-agent systems with directed network topologies and heterogeneous input delays, which generalized the previous work [1] from the case of symmetric coupling weights to that of asymmetric coupling weights. Some sufficient conditions for reaching second-order consensus in a leader-following context were derived by utilizing the Gershgorin...

In this paper, a minimum and near-minimum time optimal control laws are developed and compared for a rigid space platform with flexible links during an orientating maneuver with large angle of rotation. The control commands are considered as typical bang-bang with multiple symmetrical switches, the time optimal control solution for the rigid-body mode is obtained as a bang-bang function and app...

In this paper, the fully actuated system (FAS) approaches for continuous-time systems with time-varying state delays and a constant input delay are presented. Two types of high-order FASs proposed: single-order both multi-order delays. Controllers time-delay designed based on full-actuation features systems. Unlike case only, prediction scheme is required constructed Similar to linear closed-lo...

This article deals with the issues associated with developing a new design methodology for the nonlinear model-predictive control (MPC) of a chemical plant. A combination of multiple neural networks is selected and used to model a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) process with time delays.  An optimization procedure for a neural MPC algorithm based on this model is then developed. T...

This paper studies robustness of a gradient-type CDMA uplink power control algorithm with respect to disturbances and time-delays. This problem is of practical importance because unmodeled secondary interference effects from neighboring cells play the role of disturbances, and propagation delays are ubiquitous in wireless data networks. We first show Lp -stability, for p ∈ [1,∞] , with respect ...

This paper develops a distributed fixed-time quadratic coordinated control strategy for isolated DC microgrids with time delays. The proposed scheme based on the droop is intended to realize bus voltage recovery and current balance distribution under We first model as single integrator system input delays by Artstein’s transform. are achieved using fixed control, which does not depend initial s...

This paper studies robustness of Kelly’s source and link control laws in (J. Oper. Res. Soc. 49 (1998) 237) with respect to disturbances and time-delays. This problem is of practical importance because of unmodelled $ows, and propagation and queueing delays, which are ubiquitous in networks. We ;rst show Lp-stability, for p∈ [1;∞], with respect to additive disturbances. We pursue L∞-stability w...

This paper studies robustness of Kelly’s source and link control laws in [1] with respect to disturbances and time-delays. This problem is of practical importance because of unmodeled flows, and propagation and queueing delays, which are ubiquitous in networks. We first show Lp-stability, for p ∈ [1,∞], with respect to additive disturbances. We pursue L∞-stability within the input-to-state stab...
