Results in Cooperative Control and Implicit Consensus
Knorn, Florian and Corless, Martin and Shorten, Robert N. (2011) Results in Cooperative Control and Implicit Consensus. International Journal of Control, 84 (3). pp. 476-495. ISSN 0020-7179 AbstractThis paper is concerned with a class of decentralised control problems that arise in contemporary applications
where agents cooperate to control and regulate a global quantity, are limited in the manner in which they
communicate with each other, and are required to reach consensus on some implicit variable (for example, CO2
emissions). Three algorithms are presented for achieving this goal. The convergence of these algorithms are
proven, and their efficacy is demonstrated in simulations. | Additional Information: | This is a preprint of an article whose final and definitive form has been published in the International Journal of Control ©2011 [copyright Taylor & Francis]; The International Journal of Control is available online at: www.tandfonline.com The DOI of this article is: 10.1080/00207179.2011.561442 |
