Cyclic-Small-Gain Tools for Networked Nonlinear Systems
The rapid development of computing, communications and sensing technologies have been enabling new potential applications of advanced control to networked systems like smart power grids, biological processes, distributed computing networks, transportation systems and robotic networks. Significant problems are to integrally deal with the fundamental system characteristics such as nonlinearity, dimensionality, uncertainty and information constraints, and diverse kinds of networked behaviors, which may arise from quantization, data-sampling and impulsive events. Physical systems are inherently nonlinear in nature. This presentation introduces new cyclic-small-gain tools to address the control problems of networked nonlinear systems. Specific topics including robust control under sensor noise, quantized nonlinear control, distributed nonlinear control and their applications to multi-vehicle systems and wind turbines will be discussed.
