Design of Event-Triggered Fault-Tolerant Control for Stochastic Systems with Time-Delays
This paper proposes two novel, event-triggered fault-tolerant control strategies for a class of stochastic systems with state delays. The plant is disturbed by a Gaussian process, actuator faults, and unknown disturbances. First, a special case about fault signals that are coupled to the unknown disturbances is discussed, and then a fault-tolerant strategy is designed based on an event condition on system states. Subsequently, a send-on-delta transmission framework is established to deal with the problem of fault-tolerant control strategy against fault signals separated from the external disturbances. Two criteria are provided to design feedback controllers in order to guarantee that the systems are exponentially mean-square stable, and the corresponding H∞-norm disturbance attenuation levels are achieved. Two theorems were obtained by synthesizing the feedback control gains and the desired event conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results
Event-based multi-objective filtering for multi-rate time-varying systems with random sensor saturation
summary:This paper focuses on the multi-objective filtering of multirate time-varying systems with random sensor saturations, where both the variance-constrained index and the index are employed to evaluate the filtering performance. According to address issues, the high-frequency period of the internal state of the system is nondestructively converted to the low-frequency period, which determined by the measurement devices. Then the saturated output of multiple sensors is modeled as a sector bounded nonlinearity. At the same time, in order to reduce the communication frequency between sensors and filters, a communication scheduling rule is designed by the utilization of an event-triggered mechanism. By means of random analysis technology, the sufficient conditions are given to guarantee the preset performance and variance constraint performance indexes of the system, and then the solution of the desired filter is obtained by using linear matrix inequalities. Finally, the validity and effectiveness of the proposed filter scheme are verified by numerical simulation
Delay-independent dual-rate PID controller for a packet-based networked control system
[EN] In this paper, a novel delay-independent control structure for a networked control system (NCS) is proposed, where packet-based control strategies with predictor-based and dual-rate control techniques are integrated. The control solution is able to cope with some networked communication problems such as time-varying delays, packet dropouts and packet disorder. In addition, the proposed approach enables to reduce network load, and usage of connected devices, while maintaining a satisfactory control performance. As a delay-independent control solution, no network-induced delay measurement is needed for controller implementation. In addition, the control scheme is applicable to open-loop unstable plants. Control system stability is ensured in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Simulation results show the main benefits of the control approach, which are experimentally validated by means of a Cartesian-robot-based test-bed platform. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc.

Networked Dynamical Systems: Privacy, Control, and Cognition
Many natural and man-made systems, ranging from thenervous system to power and transportation grids to societies, exhibitdynamic behaviors that evolve over a sparse and complex network. This networked aspect raises significant challenges and opportunities for the identification, analysis, and control of such dynamic behaviors. While some of these challenges emanate from the networked aspect \emph{per se} (such as the sparsity of connections between system components and the interplay between nodal \emph{communication} and network dynamics), various challenges arise from the specific application areas (such as privacy concerns in cyber-physical systems or the need for \emph{scalable} algorithm designs due to the large size of various biological and engineered networks). On the other hand, networked systems provide significant opportunities and allow for performance and robustness levels that are far beyond reach for centralized systems, with examples ranging from the Internet (of Things) to the smart grid and the brain. This dissertation aims to address several of these challenges and harness these opportunities. The dissertation is divided into three parts. In the first part, we study privacy concerns whose resolution is vital for the utility of networked cyber-physical systems. We study the problems of average consensus and convex optimization as two principal distributed computations occurring over networks and design algorithm with rigorous privacy guarantees that provide a \emph{best achievable} tradeoff between network utility and privacy. In the second part, we analyze networks with resource constraints. More specifically, we study three problems of stabilization under communication (bandwidth and latency) limitations in sensing and actuation, optimal time-varying control scheduling problem under limited number of actuators and control energy, and the structure identification problem of under-sensed networks (i.e., networks with latent nodes). Finally in the last part, we focus on the intersection of networked dynamical systems and neuroscience and draw connections between brain network dynamics and two extensively studied but yet not fully understood neuro-cognitive phenomena: goal-driven selective attention and neural oscillations. Using a novel axiomatic approach, we establish these connections in the form of necessary and/or sufficient conditions on the network structure that match the network output trajectories with experimentally observed brain activity
