Non-fragile H∞ control with randomly occurring gain variations, distributed delays and channel fadings
This study is concerned with the non-fragile H∞ control problem for a class of discrete-time systems subject to randomly occurring gain variations (ROGVs), channel fadings and infinite-distributed delays. A new stochastic phenomenon (ROGVs), which is governed by a sequence of random variables with a certain probabilistic distribution, is put forward to better reflect the reality of the randomly occurring fluctuation of controller gains implemented in networked environments. A modified stochastic Rice fading model is then exploited to account for both channel fadings and random time-delays in a unified representation. The channel coefficients are a set of mutually independent random variables which abide by any (not necessarily Gaussian) probability density function on [0, 1]. Attention is focused on the analysis and design of a non-fragile H∞ outputfeedback controller such that the closed-loop control system is stochastically stable with a prescribed H∞ performance. Through intensive stochastic analysis, sufficient conditions are established for the desired stochastic stability and H∞ disturbance attenuation, and the addressed non-fragile control problem is then recast as a convex optimisation problem solvable via the semidefinite programme method. An example is finally provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method
Performance analysis with network-enhanced complexities: On fading measurements, event-triggered mechanisms, and cyber attacks

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.Nowadays, the real-world systems are usually subject to various complexities such as parameter uncertainties, time-delays, and nonlinear disturbances. For networked systems, especially large-scale systems such as multiagent systems and systems over sensor networks, the complexities are inevitably enhanced in terms of their degrees or intensities because of the usage of the communication networks. Therefore, it would be interesting to (1) examine how this kind of network-enhanced complexities affects the control or filtering performance; and (2) develop some suitable approaches for controller/filter design problems. In this paper, we aim to survey some recent advances on the performance analysis and synthesis with three sorts of fashionable network-enhanced complexities, namely, fading measurements, event-triggered mechanisms, and attack behaviors of adversaries. First, these three kinds of complexities are introduced in detail according to their engineering backgrounds, dynamical characteristic, and modelling techniques. Then, the developments of the performance analysis and synthesis issues for various networked systems are systematically reviewed. Furthermore, some challenges are illustrated by using a thorough literature review and some possible future research directions are highlighted.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61134009, 61329301, 61203139, 61374127, and 61374010, the Royal Society of the UK, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany
Distributed filtering of networked dynamic systems with non-gaussian noises over sensor networks: A survey
summary:Sensor networks are regarded as a promising technology in the field of information perception and processing owing to the ease of deployment, cost-effectiveness, flexibility, as well as reliability. The information exchange among sensors inevitably suffers from various network-induced phenomena caused by the limited resource utilization and complex application scenarios, and thus is required to be governed by suitable resource-saving communication mechanisms. It is also noteworthy that noises in system dynamics and sensor measurements are ubiquitous and in general unknown but can be bounded, rather than follow specific Gaussian distributions as assumed in Kalman-type filtering. Particular attention of this paper is paid to a survey of recent advances in distributed filtering of networked dynamic systems with non-Gaussian noises over sensor networks. First, two types of widely employed structures of distributed filters are reviewed, the corresponding analysis is systematically addressed, and some interesting results are provided. The inherent purpose of adding consensus terms into the distributed filters is profoundly disclosed. Then, some representative models characterizing various network-induced phenomena are reviewed and their corresponding analytical strategies are exhibited in detail. Furthermore, recent results on distributed filtering with non-Gaussian noises are sorted out in accordance with different network-induced phenomena and system models. Another emphasis is laid on recent developments of distributed filtering with various communication scheduling, which are summarized based on the inherent characteristics of their dynamic behavior associated with mathematical models. Finally, the state-of-the-art of distributed filtering and challenging issues, ranging from scalability, security to applications, are raised to guide possible future research
Almost sure H∞ sliding mode control for nonlinear stochastic systems with Markovian switching and time-delays
This paperinvestigatesthealmostsure H1 sliding mode control (SMC) problem for non linear stochastic systems with Markovian switching and time-delays. An integral sliding surface is first constructed for the addressed system. Then, by employing the topping time method combined with martingale in equalities, sufficient conditions are established to ensure the almost surely exponential stability and the H 1 performance of the system dynamics in the specified sliding surface. ASMC law is designed to guarantee the reach ability of the specified sliding surface almost surely. Furthermore, the obtained results are applied to a class of special nonlinear stochastic systems with Markovian switching and time-delays, where the desired SMC law is obtained in terms of the solutions to a set of matrix in equalities. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed SMC scheme

Estimation, filtering and fusion for networked systems with network-induced phenomena: New progress and prospects
In this paper, some recent advances on the estimation, filtering and fusion for networked systems are reviewed. Firstly, the network-induced phenomena under consideration are briefly recalled including missing/fading measurements, signal quantization, sensor saturations, communication delays, and randomly occurring incomplete information. Secondly, the developments of the estimation, filtering and fusion for networked systems from four aspects (linear networked systems, nonlinear networked systems, complex networks and sensor networks) are reviewed comprehensively. Subsequently, some recent results on the estimation, filtering and fusion for systems with the network-induced phenomena are reviewed in great detail. In particular, some latest results on the multi-objective filtering problems for time-varying nonlinear networked systems are summarized. Finally, conclusions are given and several possible research directions concerning the estimation, filtering, and fusion for networked systems are highlighted

Fault detection for switched positive systems under successive packet dropouts with application to the Leslie matrix model
In this paper, the problem of fault detection filter design is dealt with for a class of switched positive systems
with packet dropouts on the channel between the sensors and the filters. The phenomena of packet dropouts
are governed by a Bernoulli process, and a stochastic switched positive system is established based on the
augmented states of the plants and filters. Two criteria are developed to evaluate the performance of the
fault detection for the system under investigation. Sufficient conditions are established on the existence
of the desired filters for the mean-square stability with an L1 disturbance attenuation level, and an index
for the L fault sensitivity is also derived through constructing a switched Lyapunov function in term of
linear programming. Two illustrative examples, one of which is concerned with the Leslie matrix model, are
provided to show the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed results. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley

A New Quasi-Human Algorithm for Solving the Packing Problem of Unit Equilateral Triangles
The packing problem of unit equilateral triangles not only has the theoretical significance but also offers broad
prospects in material processing and network resource optimization. Because this problem is nondeterministic polynomial
(NP) hard and has the feature of continuity, it is necessary to limit the placements of unit equilateral triangles
before optimizing and obtaining approximate solution (e.g., the unit equilateral triangles are not allowed to be rotated).
This paper adopts a new quasi-human strategy to study the packing problem of unit equilateral triangles. Some new
concepts are put forward such as side-clinging action, and an approximation algorithm for solving the addressed problem
is designed. Time complexity analysis and the calculation results indicate that the proposed method is a polynomial
time algorithm, which provides the possibility to solve the packing problem of arbitrary triangles
