This article describes an extension of the well-known model reference adaptive control (MRAC) approach. The extension relies on explicitly involving the tracking error in the feedback control law: it is shown that including this term along with its appropriate extra adaptive gain ...
Practical tracking results have been reported in the literature for high-order odd-rational-power nonlinear dynamics (a chain of integrators whose power is the ratio of odd integers). Asymptotic tracking remains an open problem for such dynamics. This note gives a positive answer ...

Distributed Adaptive Resource Allocation

An Uncertain Saddle-Point Dynamics Viewpoint

This paper addresses distributed adaptive optimal resource allocation problems over weight-balanced digraphs. By leveraging state-of-the-art adaptive coupling designs for multiagent systems, two adaptive algorithms are proposed, namely a directed-spanning-tree-based algorithm and ...
We revisit distributed sampled-data consensus problems from a scalability point of view. Existing solutions in the literature for estimating the maximum sampling interval that preserves stability rely on the Lyapunov functional method. With this method, the overall closed-loop sy ...
This work investigates a reduced-complexity adaptive methodology to consensus tracking for a team of uncertain high-order nonlinear systems with switched (possibly asynchronous) dynamics. It is well known that high-order nonlinear systems are intrinsically challenging as feedback ...
This article addresses the continuous-time distributed optimization of a strictly convex summation-separable cost function with possibly nonconvex local functions over strongly connected digraphs. Distributed optimization methods in the literature require convexity of local funct ...

Distributed Adaptive Consensus Disturbance Rejection

A Directed-spanning-tree Perspective

In this paper, we revisit the problem of consensus disturbance rejection for multiagent systems over a digraph, but from a different perspective, i.e., the perspective of a directed spanning tree (DST). When the minimum nonzero real part of the Laplacian eigenvalues is available, ...
In this article, the time-varying formation and time-varying formation tracking problems are solved for linear multiagent systems over digraphs without the knowledge of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix associated with the digraph. The solution to these problems relies on a ...
The work presented in this paper concerns a switching-based control formulation for multi-intersection and multiphase traffic light systems. A macroscopic traffic flow modeling approach is first presented, which is instrumental to the development of a model-based and switching-ba ...
This work investigates the consensus tracking problem for high-power nonlinear multiagent systems with partially unknown control directions. The main challenge of considering such dynamics lies in the fact that their linearized dynamics contain uncontrollable modes, making the st ...
