In this paper, a novel three‐dimensional fixed‐time integrated guidance and control (IGC) scheme with multi‐stage interconnected observers is proposed for cooperative attacks using multiple missiles against a maneuvering target under impact angle and input saturation constraints. External disturbances, modeling errors, and aerodynamic parameter variations are considered as system uncertainties and a three‐channel fully coupled IGC model for multiple missiles is established. The IGC system is designed optimally based on fixed‐time stability theory, sliding mode control, and the backstepping technique. Three inter‐cascaded fixed‐time disturbance observers based on an improved super‐twisting algorithm are designed to estimate and compensate for system uncertainties. Second‐order command filters are used to constrain virtual control signals, and additional filtering error subsystems are introduced to compensate for the tracking errors of filters. System stability and uniformly ultimately fixed‐time boundedness of all states are proven using the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the limits of the acceleration components of the maneuvering target perpendicular to the line of sight direction are derived. The effectiveness of the designed IGC scheme and the ability of multi‐stage interconnected observers to sense disturbances with each other are verified through simulations.

The topic of this paper is the design of two fractional order schemes, based on a state feedback for linear integer order system. In the first one of the state feedback is associated with a fractional order integral () controller. In the second structure the state feedback is associated with a fractional order proportional integral () controller. With such controllers, the closed loop system with state feedback described by the state equations splits in n‐subsystems with different fractional orders derivatives of the state variable. In order to find the optimal parameters value of both controllers () and (), a multi‐objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is used, with the integral of absolute error, the overshoot , the Buslowicz stability criterion are considered as objective functions. The multi‐objective integral fractional order controller and the multi‐objective proportional integral fractional order controller are applied to stabilize the inverted pendulum‐cart system (IP‐C), and their performance is compared to the fractional order controller. The simulation results of these innovative controllers are also compared with those obtained by conventional proportional–integral–derivative and fractional order proportional–integral–derivative controllers. The robustness of the proposed controllers against disturbances is investigated through simulation runs, considering the non‐linear model of the IP‐C system. The obtained results demonstrate that our approach not only leads to high effectiveness but also showcases remarkable robustness, supported by both simulation and experimental results.
本文的主题是基于线性整数阶系统的状态反馈,设计两种分数阶方案。在第一种方案中,状态反馈与分数阶积分()控制器相关联。在第二种结构中,状态反馈与分数阶比例积分()控制器相关联。有了这些控制器,由状态方程描述的带有状态反馈的闭环系统就会分裂成 n 个具有不同分数阶状态变量导数的子系统。为了找到控制器()和()的最优参数值,使用了多目标粒子群优化算法,并将绝对误差积分、过冲和 Buslowicz 稳定性准则作为目标函数。将多目标积分分数阶控制器和多目标比例积分分数阶控制器用于稳定倒立摆-小车系统(IP-C),并将它们的性能与分数阶控制器进行了比较。这些创新控制器的仿真结果还与传统的比例积分派生控制器和分数阶比例积分派生控制器的仿真结果进行了比较。考虑到 IP-C 系统的非线性模型,通过模拟运行研究了所提出的控制器对干扰的鲁棒性。仿真和实验结果表明,我们的方法不仅高效,而且具有显著的鲁棒性。

This paper addresses the problem of achieving finite‐time fault‐tolerant consensus control for a class of non‐linear fractional‐order multi‐agent systems (NFO‐MAS) using finite‐time fault detection and estimation, as well as a finite‐time state observer. To achieve this, a specific lemma is utilized to rewrite the high‐order model of NFO‐MAS as a lower‐order NFO unique system. By employing new identification rules and introducing a fault estimation method, both the state variables and faults of the agents are estimated within a finite time. Subsequently, a finite‐time sliding mode control law is designed based on the estimated fault and the state variables obtained from the proposed finite‐time observer to achieve consensus within a finite time for the fractional‐order non‐linear MAS. The stability of the fault estimation, state observer, and consensus controller is proven using the finite‐time Lyapunov theory. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through numerical simulations.

This paper considers the problem of communication protocols between leaders and its followers for motion planning in an initially partially known environment. In this setting, the leader observes the environment information to satisfy its own local objective and and the follower completes its own local objective by estimating the states of the leader and communicating with the leader to update its knowledge about the environment when it is necessary, where the local objectives can be expressed in temporal logic. A verifier construction is built first to contain all possible communication protocols between the leaders and the followers. Then, a two‐step synthesis procedure is proposed to capture all feasible communication protocol that satisfy the local objectives for the leader and follower, respectively. In the first step, a sub‐verifier is synthesized to satisfy the objective of the follower. In the second step, based on the obtained sub‐verifier, an iterative algorithm is proposed to extract communication protocols such that the objectives of the leader and follower are satisfied, respectively. A running example is provided to illustrate the proposed procedures.

This study elucidates the use of optimization algorithms to identify the controller parameters employed in adjusting the current and voltage values of loads powered by solar energy systems and battery groups. Parameters for these controllers were independently derived using a combination of ant colony optimization with Levy flight, hybrid firefly‐particle swarm optimization, hybrid gravitation search algorithm‐particle swarm optimization, alongside the implementation of Jaya and whale optimization algorithms. The results from each method were juxtaposed for thorough analysis. In addition, three distinct Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) algorithms were employed in the system: perturbation and observation, open circuit voltage, and incremental conductance (IC). To assess the system’s adaptability to real‐world conditions, it was tested against varying temperatures and sunlight levels. Moreover, potential changes in the loads were considered by varying the load. The efficacy of the controllers was examined by altering both the environment and load. The effectiveness of the controllers was examined by referring to the integral of time‐weighted absolute error value. The system was simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software. This study demonstrates that the fractional‐order PID controller achieves the most effective results, the Jaya algorithm provides the best controller parameters, and the IC technique exhibits the highest performance in MPPT.

This paper is concerned with the stability analysis of discrete‐time systems with a time‐varying delay. The conservatism and computation burden are two important factors to evaluate a stability condition. By taking the relationship of two reciprocally convex parts into consideration, a new combined matrix‐separation‐based inequality is proposed that involves only a few free matrices. Moreover, an improved matrix‐injection‐based transformation lemma with the parameter varying within a closed interval is proposed by introducing only one free matrix. By constructing an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and applying the improved methods, a relaxed stability condition is consequently obtained with a small number of decision variables. Two numerical examples are given to show the merits of the proposed methods.

This paper introduces a novel data‐driven approach to develop a fault‐tolerant model predictive controller (MPC) for non‐linear systems. By adopting a Koopman operator‐theoretic perspective, the proposed method leverages historical data from the system to construct a data‐driven model that captures the non‐linear behaviour and fault characteristics. The fault influence is addressed through an online estimation of a time‐varying Koopman predictor, which allows for adjusting the MPC control law to counteract the fault effects. This estimation is performed in a higher dimensional Koopman feature space, where the dynamics behave linearly. As a result, the non‐linear fault‐tolerant MPC optimization problem can be replaced with a more practical and feasible linear time‐varying one using the approximated Koopman predictor. Moreover, by incorporating the online update procedure, the time‐varying Koopman predictor can represent the dynamics of the faulty system. Hence, the controller can adapt and compensate for the faults in real‐time, integrating the fault diagnosis module in the MPC framework and eliminating the need for a separate fault detection unit. Finally, the efficacy of the proposed approach is demonstrated through case study results, which highlight the ability of the controller to mitigate faults and maintain desired system behaviour.

In this study, task space tracking control of robot manipulators driven by brushless DC (BLDC) motors is considered. Dynamics of actuators are taken into account and the entire electromechanical system (i.e. kinematic, dynamic, and electrical models) is assumed to include parametric/structured uncertainties. A novel adaptive controller is designed and the stability of the closed loop system is ensured via novel Lyapunov type tools. To demonstrate performance and applicability of the proposed method, a simulation study is conducted using the model of a two degree of freedom, planar robotic manipulator driven by BLDC motors.
