We investigate convergence properties of a proposed distributed model predictive control (DMPC) scheme, where agents negotiate to compute an optimal consensus point using an incremental subgradient method based on primal decomposition as described in [1], [2]. The objective of the distributed control strategy is to agree upon and achieve an optimal common output value for a group of agents in t...

in this paper, distributed parameter process systems behavior is studied in frequency domain. based on the dominant gain concept that is developed for such studies, a method is presented to control distributed parameter process systems. by using dominant gain concept, the location of open loop zeros, resulted from the time delay parameter in the process model, were changed from the right half p...

The issue of controlling values of various parameters of an evolutionary algorithm is one of the most important and promising areas of research in evolutionary computation: It has a potential of adjusting the algorithm to the problem while solving the problem. In this paper we: 1) revise the terminology, which is unclear and confusing, thereby providing a classification of such control mechanis...

This paper extends existing results on a technique for gain-scheduled, L 2-gain control of linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems with bounded rates of variation. Speciically, it introduces the use of both memoryless and dynamic (i.e., ltered) parameter measurements when the parameters' accelerations are bounded. Information from the ltered parameter signal can be used to reduce the conservatis...

It has been proposed to realize secure communication using chaotic synchronization via transmission of a binary message encoded by parameter modulation in the chaotic system. This paper considers the use of parameter adaptive control techniques to extract the message, based on the assumptions that we know the equation form of the chaotic system in the transmitter but do not have access to the p...

The use of multi sources systems of energy progressed significantly in different industrial sectors. Between all the existing sources of energy, batteries and renewable sources, such as photovoltaic and wind, contain the highest specified energy. However, solar and wind energies are not available all the time, their performance is affected by unpredictable weather changes and therefore, it is d...
