In this paper, we investigate the consensus problem of a set of discrete-time heterogeneous multi-agent systems with random communication delays represented by a Markov chain, where the multi-agent systems are composed of two kinds of agents differed by their dynamics. First, distributed consensus control is designed by employing the event-triggered communication technique, which can lead to a significant reduction of the information communication burden in the multi-agent network. Then, the mean square stability of the closed loop multi-agent systems is analyzed based on the Lyapunov functional method and the Kronecker product technique. Sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the consensus in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, a simulation example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed theory. (C) 2013 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this paper, the problems of exponential stability and L2-gain analysis of event-triggered networked control systems (NCSs) with network-induced delays are studied. We first propose event-triggering conditions in the sensor side and controller side, respectively. Because the implementation of our event-triggering scheme only needs periodic supervision of the system state at the constant sampling instants, instead of being monitored continuously, it is expected that the scheme will improve the resource utilization. Taking the network-induced delays into account and using delay system approach, we constructed a unified model of NCSs with hybrid event-triggering schemes. On the basis of this model, sufficient conditions for the exponential stability and L2-gain analysis are developed in the form of LMIs by using a discontinuous Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach. Moreover, the corresponding results can be further extended to more general cases, where the system matrices of the considered plant contain parameter uncertainties, represented in either polytopic or norm-bounded frameworks. In addition, as a special case, we also present the exponential stability, L2-gain analysis, and the control feedback gain design of event-triggered NCSs without considering the effects of network-induced delays and event-triggering condition in the controller side. Finally, a simulation example is provided to illustrate the usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed hybrid event-triggering *** (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this paper, we have integrated the passivity of delayed neural networks with discontinuous activations which are unbounded. Based on differential inclusion theory and nonsmooth analysis, some sufficient conditions are presented by means of the generalized Lyapunov method. The results are established in form of linear matrix inequality. In addition, Some numerical examples are proposed to show the effectiveness of the developed results.

This paper proposes a new method for color-texture segmentation based on a splitting framework with graph cut technique. To process the scale difference of quaternion Gabor filter (QGF) features of a color textured image, a new multiscale QGF (MQGF) is introduced to describe texture attributes of the given image. Then, the segmentation is formulated in terms of energy minimization gradually obtained using binary graph cuts, where color and MQGF features are modeled with a multivariate finite mixture model, and minimum description length (MDL) principle is integrated into this framework as a splitting criterion. In contrast to previous approaches, our method finds an optimal segmentation by balancing energy cost and coding length, and the segmentation result is determined during the splitting process automatically. Experimental results on both synthetic and real natural color textured images demonstrate the good performance of the proposed method. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this article, the problem of robust sampled-data H output tracking control is investigated for a class of nonlinear networked systems with stochastic sampling and time-varying norm-bounded uncertainties. For the sake of technical simplicity, only two different sampling periods are considered, their occurrence probabilities are given constants and satisfy Bernoulli distribution, and can be extended to the case with multiple stochastic sampling periods. By the way of an input delay, the probabilistic system is transformed into a stochastic continuous time-delay system. A new linear matrix inequality-based procedure is proposed for designing state-feedback controllers, which would guarantee that the closed-loop networked system with stochastic sampling tracks the output of a given reference model well in the sense of H. Conservatism is reduced by taking the probability into account. Both network-induced delays and packet dropouts have been considered. Finally, an illustrative example is given to show the usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed H output tracking design.

A robust fault-tolerant attitude control scheme is proposed for a launch vehicle (LV) in the presence of unknown external disturbances, mismodeling dynamics, actuator faults, and actuator's constraints. The input-output representation is employed to describe the rotational dynamics of LV rendering three independently decoupled second order single-input-single-output (SISO) systems. In the differential algebraic framework, general proportional integral (GPI) observers are used for the estimations of the states and of the generalized disturbances, which include internal perturbations, external disturbances, and unknown actuator failures. In order to avoid the defects of the conventional sliding surface, a new nonlinear integral sliding manifold is introduced for the robust fault-tolerant sliding mode controller design. The stability of the GPI observer and that of the closed-loop system are guaranteed by Lyapunov's indirect and direct methods, respectively. The convincing numerical simulation results demonstrate the proposed control scheme is with high attitude tracking performance in the presence of various disturbances, actuator faults, and actuator constraints.

This paper addresses the bipartite flock control problem with or without a virtual leader. Using structurally balanced signed graph theory and LaSalle's invariance principle, we prove that the algorithm guarantees a bipartite flocking behavior. In such a collective motion, the whole group separates into two clusters, in each of which all individuals move with the same direction. Meanwhile, every pair of agents in different clusters moves with opposite directions. Moreover, all agents in the two separated clusters approach a common velocity magnitude, and collision avoidance among each cluster is ensured as well. Finally, the proposed bipartite flock control method are examined by numerical simulations. The bipartite flocking motion addressed by this paper has its references in both natural collective motions and human group behaviors such as predator-prey and panic escaping scenarios.

Traffic flow directionality and network weight asymmetry are widespread notions in traffic networks. This paper investigates the influence of direction-dependant heterogeneity on traffic congestion. To capture the effect of the link directionality and link weight asymmetry, the heterogeneity indexes of complex networks and the traffic flow model are introduced. The numerical results show that the critical value of heterogeneity determines congestion transition processes. The congestion degree increases with heterogeneity when the network heterogeneity is at a subcritical region. A network is more tolerant of congestion if the heterogeneity of the network is smaller or larger than the critical value. Furthermore, when heterogeneity reaches the critical value, the average number of accumulated vehicles arrives at the maximum and the traffic flow is under a serious congestion state. A significant improvement on the tolerance to congestion of traffic networks can be nude if the network heterogeneity is controlled within a reasonable range. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
