Density estimation via Gaussian mixture modeling has been successfully applied to image segmentation, speech processing and other fields relevant to clustering analysis and Probability density function (PDF) modeling. Finite Gaussian mixture model is usually used in practice and the selection of number of mixture components is a significant problem in its application. For example, in image segmentation, it is the donation of the number of segmentation regions. The determination of the optimal model order therefore is a problem that achieves widely attention. This paper proposes a degenerating model algorithm that could simultaneously select the optimal number of mixture components and estimate the parameters for Gaussian mixture model. Unlike traditional model order selection method, it does not need to select the optimal number of components from a set of candidate models. Based on the investigation on the property of the elliptically contoured distributions of generalized multivariate analysis, it select the correct model order in a different way that needs less operation times and less sensitive to the initial value of EM. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the algorithm.

The paper presents a theorem to show the relationship between the parameters of the Moving Average (MA) process and those of its inversed process. The theorem can be used for the parameter identification of the MA process. It is further shown in this paper that the parameter identification of autoregressive moving average with exogenous variable model (ARMAX), based on the identification of its MA part, can be easily achieved. The approach, at first, achieves the identification of the ARX part by directly using least-square estimations to find out a straightforward relationship between estimated parameters and observed data. Then, the inversed model of the MA part is identified in a similar way. Finally, the noise variance can be computed by using identified MA parameters. Numerical simulations validate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.

A novel algorithm to solve the target tracking and formation control problem in multi-agent systems is proposed in the present work, which combines centroidal Voronoi tessellations (CVT) with consensus strategy. The algorithm utilizes the connection information among robots to further reduce the system cost function on the basis of CVT configuration. The work load among robots can be averaged by the consensus strategy thus the tracking and formation task can be achieved. The method configures the robots on to local optimal solution which minimize the sensing error. Simulations validated the proposed approach. Comparison is drawn between the pure CVT algorithm and the method with consensus strategy.

This paper deals with the control of arbitrarily topological interconnected systems where information communicated between subsystems may be lost due to unreliable links. First, the stochastic variable that is responsible for the communication status of lossy network is regarded as a source of model uncertainty. The system is modeled in the framework of linear fractional transformation with a deterministic nominal system and a stochastic model uncertainty. Then, the robust control theory is employed for system analysis. The largest probability of communication failure, tolerated by the interconnected systems keeping mean square stable, can be obtained by solving a μ synthesis optimization problem. Decentralized state feedback controllers are designed to ensure that the whole system is mean square stable for a given communication failure rate, based on the technique of linear matrix inequalities. An illustrative example is presented finally to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model and method

This paper mainly addresses flocking control algorithm to implement the “boids” model of Reynolds among the formation control by nonholonomic multi-robots. Firstly, distributed flocking of multiple autonomous agents with double integrator dynamics is studied. The proposed flocking algorithm is a gradient-based protocol combined with a velocity consensus protocol. For the gradient-based term, smooth artificial potential functions which could cope with the problem of shape generation are devised for all the agents. Moreover, the proposed coordinated protocols are applied to the formation control of a team of nonholonomic mobile robots. Finally, simulations and experiments show that the proposed controllers ensure the group formation is stabilized to a desired shape, while all the robots’ velocities and directions converge to the same.

This paper deals with analysis and synthesis problems of spatially interconnected systems where communicated information may get lost between subsystems. Spatial shift operator and temporal forward shift operator are introduced to model the interconnected systems as discrete time-space multidimensional linear systems with Markovian jumping parameters which reflect the state of communication channels. To ensure the whole system's well-posedness and mean square stability for a given packet loss rate, a condition is derived through analysis. Then a procedure of designing distributed dynamic output feedback controllers is proposed. The controllers have the same structure as the plants and are solved within the linear matrix inequality (LMI) framework. Finally, we apply these results to study the effect of communication losses on the multiple vehicle platoon controlsystem, which further illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed model and method.

This paper investigates the synchronization problem of clock oscillators in nonlinear dynamical network with arbitrary time-delays. First,a dynamic synchronization algorithm based on consensus control strategy, named fast averaging synchronization algorithm(FASA),is presented to find a solution to the synchronization problem. This algorithm can compensate the clock skew and offset differences between clock nodes, achieving the synchronization of clock nodes in a shorter time as compared to previous synchronization methods. Second, because of the dynamical performance of FASA,it is characterized from the perspective of compartmental dynamical system with arbitrary time-delays. In this case, the algorithm guarantees the states of all clock nodes in dynamical network converge to Lyapunov stable equilibria. Finally, numerical simulations and experimental results demonstrate the correctness and effciency of the FASA, which means that the clock nodes can reach global consensus, and the synchronization error can reach nanosecond order of magnitude
