We consider quasi-aggregative games for large populations of heterogeneous agents, whose interaction is determined by an underlying communication network. Specifically, each agent minimizes a quadratic cost function, which depends on its own strategy and on a convex combination of the strategies of its neighbors, and is subject to heterogeneous convex constraints. We suggest two distributed algorithms that can be implemented to steer the best responses of the rational agents to a Nash equilibrium configuration. The convergence of these schemes is guaranteed under different sufficient conditions depending on the matrices defining the agents' cost functions and on the communication network.

This paper considers the linear quadratic deterministic mean field control problem for large populations of heterogeneous agents, subject to convex state and input constraints, and coupled via a quadratic cost function which depends on the average population state. To control the optimal responses of the rational agents to a Nash equilibrium, we propose feedback iterative solutions based on operator theory arguments. Contrary to the state of the art, global convergence is ensured, under mild sufficient conditions on the matrices defining the cost functions, and not on the convex constraints.

This paper studies the problem of tracking with wireless sensor networks (WSNs) using received signal strength (RSS) measurements. The log-normal shadowing associated with RSS measurements from a mobile terminal is correlated both in space and time. We propose a particle filter that exploits the temporal and spatial correlation and estimates the covariance matrix of the measurement noise using the shrinkage technique. Simulation results show that using the estimated covariance matrix in the tracking filter improves considerably the filter performance. It is also demonstrated via simulations that the shrinkage-based particle filter exhibits superior performance to the particle filter without shrinkage when limited measurements are available. Results with high accuracy of tracking using the proposed method are presented.

Model Predictive control (MPC) techniques are considered for industrial centrifugal compression systems with nonlinear dynamics. We consider the torque provided by an external drive and a recycle valve as control actuators for the system. Closed-loop stability in the presence of control constraints is studied via the contractive control Lyapunov function method. We solve the nonlinear MPC problem to assess a performance benchmark, and then design a Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) MPC approach which is computationally affordable. We show in several numerical simulations based on a realistic centrifugal compressor case study that the SQP MPC technique outperforms the classic linearized MPC and performs similarly to the nonlinear MPC approach.

In this paper we analyze the numerical behavior of first-order quadratic penalty methods for solving large-scale conic constrained convex problems with composite objective function. Contrary to the most of the results on penalty methods, in this work we do not assume the existence of a finite optimal Lagrange multiplier. We derive the iteration complexity of the classical quadratic penalty method, where the corresponding penalty regularized formulation of the original problem is solved using Nesterov's fast gradient algorithm. We provide rate of convergence results in terms of feasibility violation and suboptimality for adaptive and non-adaptive variants of the penalty scheme, under various assumptions on the composite objective function. Finally, we show on a simple example that our complexity estimates are tight.

This paper presents an investigation into a system model for the stabilisation of a Magnetic Levitation System (Maglev's). The magnetic levitation system is a challenging nonlinear mechatronic system in which an electromagnetic force is required to suspend an object (metal sphere) in the air. The electromagnetic force is very sensitive to the noise which can create acceleration forces on the metal sphere, causing the sphere to move into the unbalanced region. Maglev's benefits the industry and the system has reduced power consumption, has increased power efficiency and reduced cost maintenance. The common applications for Maglev's Power Generation (e.g. wind turbine), Maglev's trains and Medical Device (e.g. Magnetically suspended Artificial Heart Pump). This paper presents comparative assessment of controllers for magnetic levitation dynamic response and robust characteristics of conventional PD and fuzzy PD. The main contribution of this paper is a robust fuzzy PD stabilisation scheme.

We consider in this paper the suboptimal ℋ ∞ output feedback control problem for a generalized discrete-time LTI system, whose transfer function matrix is allowed to be improper or polynomial. The parametrization of all controllers that achieve closed-loop stability and guaranteed performance is given in a realization-based setting, involves two generalized Riccati equations, and features the same elegant simplicity of the standard (proper) case. A relevant numerical example proves the effectiveness of our approach.
