Optimal Control and Stabilization for Networked Control Systems with Asymmetric Information

This paper considers the optimal control and stabilization problems for networked control systems (NCSs) with asymmetric information. In this NCSs model, the remote controller can receive packet-dropout states of the plant, and the available information for the embedded controller are observations of states and packet-dropout states sent from the remote controller. The two controllers operate the plant simultaneously to make the quadratic performance minimized and stabilize the linear plant. For the finite-horizon case, since states of the plant cannot be obtained perfectly, we develop the optimal estimators for the embedded and remote controllers based on asymmetric information respectively. Then we give the necessary and sufficient condition for the optimal control based on the solution to the forward-backward stochastic difference equations (FBSDEs). For the infinite-horizon case, on one hand, the necessary and sufficient condition is given for the stabilization in the mean-square sense of the system without the additive noise. On the other hand, it is shown that the system with the additive noise is bounded in the mean-square sense if and only if there exist the solutions to the two coupled algebraic Riccati equations. Numerical examples on the unmanned underwater vehicle are presented to show the effectiveness of the given algorithm.

Optimal Control Problem for Discrete-Time Systems with Colored Multiplicative Noise

The optimal control problem for discrete-time systems with colored multiplicative noise is discussed in this paper. The problem will be more difficult to deal with than the case of white noise due to the correlation of the adjoining state. By solving the forward and backward stochastic difference equations (FBSDEs), the necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the optimal control problems in both delay-free and one-step input delay case are given.

Output Feedback Control for Irregular LQ Problem

In this paper, we study the irregular output feedback linear quadratic (LQ) control problem, which is a continuous work of previous works for irregular LQ control [33] where the state is assumed to be exactly known priori. Different from the classic output feedback LQ control problem, the cost function must be modified to guarantee the solvability. In the framework of the modified cost function, it is shown that the separation principle holds and the explicitly optimal controller is given in the feedback form of the Kalman filtering. In particular, the feedback gain is calculated by two Riccati equations independently of the Kalman filtering. The key technique is the "two-layer optimization" approach. We also emphasize that the optimal controller at the terminal time is required to be deterministic.

Deterministic Optimal Control of Ito Stochastic Systems with Random Coefficients

This paper is concerned with the deterministic optimal control of Ito stochastic systems with random coefficients. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the unique solvability of the optimal control problem with random coefficients are derived via the solution to the coupled stochastic Riccati-type equations. An explicit expression of the deterministic optimal controller for this problem is given. The presented results include the case of deterministic coefficient [14] as special case.

Optimal Control with Irregular Performance

In this paper, we solve the long-standing fundamental problem of irregular linear--quadratic (LQ) optimal control, which has received significant attention since the 1960s. We derive the optimal controllers via the key technique of finding the analytical solutions to two different forward and backward differential equations (FBDEs). We give a complete solution to the finite-horizon irregular LQ control problem using a new `two-layer optimization' approach. We also obtain the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of optimal and stabilizing solutions in the infinite-horizon case in terms of solutions to two Riccati equations and the stabilization of one specific system. For the first time, we explore the essential differences between irregular and standard LQ control, making a fundamental contribution to classical LQ control theory. We show that irregular LQ control is totally different from regular control as the irregular controller must guarantee the terminal state constraint of $P_1(T)x(T)=0$.

Exponential Stabilization for Ito Stochastic Systems with Multiple Input Delays

In this paper, we study the stabilization problem for the Ito systems with both multiplicative noise and multiple delays which exist widely in applications such as networked control systems. Sufficient and necessary conditions are obtained for the exponential stabilization problem of Ito stochastic systems with multiple delays. On one hand, we derive the solvability of the modified Riccati equation in case of the mean-square exponential stabilization. On the other hand, the mean-square exponential stabilization is guaranteed by the solvability of a modified Riccati equation. A novel stabilizing controller is shown in the feedback from of the conditional expectation in terms of the modified algebraic Riccati equation. The main technique is to reduce the original system with multiple delays to a pseudo delay-free system.

Consensusability of Multi-agent Systems with Delay and Packet Dropout Under Predictor-like Protocols

This paper considers the consensusability of multi-agent systems with delay and packet dropout. By proposing a kind of predictor-like protocol, sufficient and necessary conditions are given for the mean-square consensusability in terms of system matrices, time delay, communication graph and the packetdrop probability. Moreover, sufficient and necessary conditions are also obtained for the formationability of multi-agent systems.

Consensus Control of Multi-agent Systems with Optimal Performance

The consensus control with optimal cost remains major challenging although consensus control problems have been well studied in recent years. In this paper, we study the consensus control of multi-agent system associated with a given cost function. The main contribution is to present the distributed control protocol while minimizing the given cost function with positive semi-definite weighting matrix of control. The derived controller is composed of two parts: One part is the feedback of the individual state which minimizes the cost function and the other part is the feedback of the relative states between the neighbours which guarantees the consensus. The presented results are new to the best of our knowledge.

Control for Networked Control Systems with Remote and Local Controllers over Unreliable Communication Channel

This paper is concerned with the problems of optimal control and stabilization for networked control systems (NCSs), where the remote controller and the local controller operate the linear plant simultaneously. The main contributions are two-fold. Firstly, a necessary and sufficient condition for the finite horizon optimal control problem is given in terms of the two Riccati equations. Secondly, it is shown that the system without the additive noise is stabilizable in the mean square sense if and only if the two algebraic Riccati equations admit the unique solutions, and a sufficient condition is given for the boundedness in the mean square sense of the system with the additive noise. Numerical examples about the unmanned aerial vehicle model are shown to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

On Irregular Linear Quadratic Control: Stochastic Case

As it is popular known, Riccati equation is the key basic tool for optimal control in the modern control theory. The solvability conditions of optimal control, stabilization conditions and controller design are all based on the Riccati equation. However, these results highly depends on a strictly assumption that the Riccati equation is regular. If the Riccati equation is irregular, the controller could not be derived from the equilibrium condition. This paper is concerned with the general stochastic linear quadratic (LQ) with irregular Riccati equation. Different from the classical control theory for regular LQ problems, a new approach of `multi-layer optimization' is proposed. With the approach, we show that different controller entries of irregular-LQ controller need to be derived from different equilibrium conditions and a specified terminal constraint condition in different layers, which is much different from the classical regular LQ control where all the controller entries can be obtained from equilibrium condition in one layer based on regular Riccati equation. The presented results clarify the differences of open-loop control from closed-loop control in the aspects of solvability and controller design and also explores in essentially the differences of regular control from irregular control. Several examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
