Constraint-driven optimal control of multiagent systems: A highway platooning case study

LE Beaver - IEEE Control Systems Letters, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Platooning has been exploited as a method for vehicles to minimize energy consumption. In
this letter, we present a constraint-driven optimal control framework that yields emergent …

Switching formation control of multi-lane autonomous vehicle platoons robust to relative position measurement noises

BGL Meere, B Fidan, WPMH Heemels - IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2023 - Elsevier
This paper studies formation control of multi-lane platoons of vehicles, endowed with local
positioning capabilities, under the influence of noises and inconsistencies of inter-vehicle …

LE Beaver - 2022 - search.proquest.com
An automation revolution is looming, and the explosive growth of these sophisticated
automated systems will only accelerate with the advent of industry 4.0, smart cities, and the …

Trajectory convergence from coordinate-wise decrease of general convex energy functions

MH Julien, B Gerencsér - AUTOMATICA, 2022 - real.mtak.hu
We consider arbitrary trajectories subject to a coordinate-wise energy decrease: the sign of
the derivative of each entry is never the same as that of the corresponding entry of the …

On the benefits of saturating information in consensus networks with noise

M Shi, C De Persis, P Tesi - Systems & Control Letters, 2020 - Elsevier
In a consensus network subject to non-zero mean noise, the system state may be driven
away even when the disagreement exhibits a bounded response. This is unfavourable in …

Resilient asynchronous rendezvous of second-order agents under communication noise

M Shi - 2020 59th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we investigate the problem of rendezvous of second-order agents considering
two issues: a) misbehaving agents that make update abnormally and can send arbitrary …

Introduction to Semi-discrete Calculus

A Shachar - arxiv preprint arxiv:1012.5751, 2010 - arxiv.org
The Infinitesimal Calculus explores mainly two measurements: the instantaneous rates of
change and the accumulation of quantities. This work shows that scientists, engineers …
