Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are major precursors for ozone and secondary organic aerosol (SOA), both of which greatly harm human health and significantly affect the Earth's climate. We simultaneously estimated ozone and SOA formation from anthropogenic VOCs emissions in China by employing photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP) values and SOA yields. We gave special attention to large molecular species and adopted the SOA yield curves from latest smog chamber experiments. The estimation shows that alkylbenzenes are greatest contributors to both ozone and SOA formation (36.0% and 51.6%, respectively), while toluene and xylenes are largest contributing individual VOCs. Industry solvent use, industry process and domestic combustion are three sectors with the largest contributions to both ozone (24.7%, 23.0% and 17.8%, respectively) and SOA (22.9%, 34.6% and 19.6%, respectively) formation. In terms of the formation potential per unit VOCs emission, ozone is sensitive to open biomass burning, transportation, and domestic solvent use, and SOA is sensitive to industry process, domestic solvent use, and domestic combustion. Biomass stoves, paint application in industrial protection and buildings, adhesives application are key individual sources to ozone and SOA formation, whether measured by total contribution or contribution per unit VOCs emission. The results imply that current VOCs control policies should be extended to cover most important industrial sources, and the control measures for biomass stoves should be tightened. Finally, discrepant VOCs control policies should be implemented in different regions based on their ozone/aerosol concentration levels and dominant emission sources for ozone and SOA formation potential.

In this paper, an optimal self-learning cooperative control for heterogeneous multi-agent systems by iterative adaptive dynamic programming(ADP) is developed. The main idea is to design an optimal control law by policy iteration based ADP technique which makes all the agents track a given dynamics and simultaneously makes the iterative performance index function reach the Nash equilibrium. The cooperative policy iteration algorithm for graphical differential games is developed to achieve the optimal control law for the agent of each node. Convergence properties are analyzed which make the performance index functions of heterogeneous multi-agent differential graphical games converge to the Nash equilibrium. Simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the developed optimal self-learning control scheme.

In this paper, a novel discrete-time iterative zero-sum adaptive dynamic programming(ADP) algorithm is developed for solving the optimal control problems of nonlinear systems. Two iteration processes, which are lower and upper iterations, are employed to solve the lower and upper value functions, respectively. Arbitrary positive semi-definite functions are acceptable to initialize the upper and lower iterations of the iterative zero-sum ADP algorithm. It is proven that the upper and lower value functions converge to the optimal performance index function if the optimal performance index function exists, where the existence criterion of the optimal performance index function is unnecessary. Simulation examples are given to illustrate the effective performance of the present method.

The leader-following problem of first-order integral multi-agent systems with communication noises is investigated in this paper. To attenuate the noise's effect, a positive time-varying gain a(t) is employed in the protocol. It is proved that the proposed protocol can solve the mean square leader-following problem if the following conditions hold: 1) the communication topology graph has a spanning tree;2) ∫∞0 a(t)dt = ∞;3) lim t→∞ a(t) = 0. The requirements on a(t) are different from most existing papers, where a(t) is required to satisfy that ∫∞0 a(t) = ∞ and ∫∞0 a2(t) < ∞. It turns out that ∫∞0 a2(t) < ∞ implies lim t→∞ a(t) = 0, if a(t) is uniformly continuous. Therefore this paper relaxes the requirements on a(t) to some extent. In addition, under the mild condition (a(t) is uniformly continuous) these three conditions are necessary as well. Furthermore, if ∫∞0 a2(t)<∞, the employed protocol is proved to be able to solve the almost sure leader-following problem of first-order integral multi-agent system. Finally, a simulation example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the employed protocols.
