The paper studies the distributed optimization problem for a class of nonlinear multiagent systems in the presence of external disturbances. To solve the problem, we need to achieve the optimal multiagent consensus based on local cost function information and neighboring information and meanwhile to reject local disturbance signals modeled by an exogenous system. With convex analysis and the internal model approach, we propose a distributed optimization controller for heterogeneous and nonlinear agents in the form of continuous-time minimum-phase systems with unity relative degree. We prove that the proposed design can solve the exact optimization problem with rejecting disturbances.
This paper presents an approach of integrated guidance and control (IGC) design for interception of maneuvering targets (evaders). An IGC model with uncertainties in the pitch plane is formulated, and, by adopting a backstepping scheme, an adaptive nonlinear IGC approach is developed. Theoretical analysis shows that the design approach makes the line-of-sight (LOS) rate be input-to-state stable (ISS) with respect to target maneuvers and missile model uncertainties, and the stability of the missile dynamics can be guaranteed as well. The numerical simulation confirms the effectiveness of the proposed design approach.
In this paper, a distributed output regulation problem is formulated for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems subject to local disturbances. The formulation is given to study a leader-following problem when the leader contains unknown inputs and its dynamics is different from those of the followers. Based on the conventional output regulation assumptions and graph theory, distributed feedback controllers are constructed to make the agents globally or semi-globally follow the uncertain leader even when the bound of the leader's inputs is unknown to the followers.
