Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are submersible underwater vehicles controlled
by onboard computers. AUV formation is a cooperative control which focuses on controlling …

There are significant advantages using the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for
underwater search. Compared with a single AUV, multi-AUV offers greater efficiency and …

In this paper, we consider the problem of obtaining graph-theoretic characterizations of
controllability for the Laplacian-based leader-follower dynamics. Our developments rely on …

This paper proposes a novel graph-based approach with automorphic grouping for the
modelling, synthesis, and analysis of electric vehicle (EV) networks with charging stations …

Hao et al.(Int J Robust Nonlinear Control 28 (5): 1778–1788, 1976) established necessary
and sufficient conditions for the controllability of homogeneous networked systems where …

This study investigates on a strong correlation between complex network (CN) controllability
(characterized by the number of required driver nodes) and graph symmetry (described by …

The mathematical theory of control encompasses a diverse and intricate set of principles that
seeks to understand and manipulate the behavior of dynamic systems. Control theory, which …

One of the challenges for complex systems is the issue of limited number of sensors and
actuators for controlling relatively abundant number of agents. The infeasibility of large …

Networks are systems which consist of agents that have connections with certain other
agents in the network. Networks appear in a large number of applications, such as social …

In many engineered and natural networked systems, there has been great interest in leader
selection and/or edge assignment during the optimal design of controllable networks. In this …
