Robust receding horizon control for networked and distributed nonlinear systems (Q1650444): Difference between revisions

The monograph presents an overview of the receding horizon control (RHC) strategies and methodologies applied on the control of nonlinear networked systems (NCSs) as well as large-scale systems. The book is organized into eight self-contained chapters, which may be divided into four parts. The first part consists of Chapter 1. It offers a clear background of the RHC methods used for nonlinear networked control systems and distributed RHC for large-scale agent systems. The second part includes Chapters 2--4. Chapter 2 presents novel approaches to solve the RHC control problem for nonlinear NCSs with two-channel data losses, while Chapter 3 presents min-max RHC design of nonlinear NCSs with delays and packet dropouts. Chapter 4 solves the output feedback RHC problem with measurement dropouts. The third part is composed of Chapters 5--7. The part is focused on the distributed RHC problems for large-scale nonlinear systems. Chapters 5--7 deal with the methods for solving the problems with external disturbances, transmission delays, and simultaneous occurrence of delays and disturbances. The fourth part is composed of Chapter 8. A novel approach on the event-triggered RHC design for nonlinear systems is reported to save computational load and communication resources. The solution presents basic but useful results. The monograph offers both practical solutions and rigorous theoretical analysis with correct design conditions. The book presents the solutions step-by-step graduating from the state feedback control problems of nonlinear networked systems to output control problems. Moreover, disturbances are considered first, then communication delays are included separately, and finally simultaneous combination of disturbances and delay is included. Each chapter is supplied with simulation examples illustrating the way how to implement the developed algorithms. Readers are expected to be familiar with basic RHC as a necessary background. This book would be useful to advanced graduate students, academic researchers and applied mathematicians interested in this challenging area.
