Historically, centrally computed algorithms have been the primary means of power system
optimization and control. With increasing penetrations of distributed energy resources …

This paper reviews some main results and progress in distributed multi-agent coordination,
focusing on papers published in major control systems and robotics journals since 2006 …

Multi-agent systems have numerous civilian, homeland security, and military applications;
however, for all these applications, communication bandwidth, sensing range, power …

We design sparse and block sparse feedback gains that minimize the variance amplification
(ie, the H 2 norm) of distributed systems. Our approach consists of two steps. First, we …

In this paper, the inverse optimal approach is employed to design distributed consensus
protocols that guarantee consensus and global optimality with respect to some quadratic …

Abstract In Chaps. 3 and 4, we showed that locally optimal design in terms of Riccati
equations can guarantee synchronization for cooperative multi-agents on graphs. In this …

This paper presents constrained state feedback speed control of a permanent-magnet
synchronous motor (PMSM). Based on classical control theory, nonlinear state-space model …

This paper addresses the distributed H2 and H∞ control problems for multi-agent systems
with linear or linearized dynamics. An undirected multigraph with loops is used to represent …

We consider the design of optimal localized feedback gains for one-dimensional formations
in which vehicles only use information from their immediate neighbors. The control objective …

We consider the design of optimal state feedback gains subject to structural constraints on
the distributed controllers. These constraints are in the form of sparsity requirements for the …
