Dear Editor, This letter studies a real-world issue in leader-follower multi-agent systems (MASs) named open topology, which permits the variations of agent set and network connections. Specially, a novel transition process is developed to explain how the involved variation of network scale affects the dynamic behavior of the MASs. From a resource limited perspective, the distributed saturated impulsive control is then designed, under which some sufficient criteria are integrated into local quasi-consensus performance. We also provide a combined optimization algorithm for all agents to make the estimated domain of initial errors closer to the real one, thereby resulting in less conservativeness. Finally, a numerical example validates our results.

Dear Editor, This letter presents a novel approach to the data-driven control of unknown nonlinear systems. By leveraging online sparse identification based on the Koopman operator, a high-dimensional linear system model approximating the actual system is obtained online. The upper bound of the discrepancy between the identified model and the actual system is estimated using real-time prediction error, which is then utilized in the design of a tube-based robust model predictive controller. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated by numerical simulation.

With the widespread application of global navigation satellite system (GNSS), spoofing attacks pose a threat to the security and reliability of GNSS. It is of great significance to design effective GNSS spoofing detection technology to ensure the security and reliability of GNSS system applications for receiver users. Traditional spoofing detection techniques generally only determine whether a spoofing attack has occurred by monitoring the feature changes of one or two data information in the receiver. However, some spoofing modes can cleverly make the monitored data very close to the real data, thus avoiding these detection methods and easily making them ineffective. In this study, a GNSS spoofing jamming detection method based on hybrid kernel relevance vector machine (RVM) is proposed. The improved signal quality monitoring (SQM) movement variance, carrier noise ratio movement variance, pseudo range Doppler consistency, pseudorange residual, Doppler frequency, clock offset and clock drift are used as detection characteristics. This technology can detect GNSS spoofing signals, effectively improving the safety and reliability of GNSS systems. The experimental results show that this technology has high detection accuracy and anti-interference ability and can effectively respond to various forms of spoofing attacks.

In the industrial roller kiln, the time-delay characteristic in heat transfer causes the temperature field to be affected by both the current and historical temperature states. It presents a poor control performance and brings a significant challenge to the process precise control. Considering high complexity of precise modeling, a data-driven time-delay optimal control method for temperature field of roller kiln is proposed based on a large amount of process data. First, the control challenges and problem description brought by time-delay are demonstrated, where the cost function for the time-delay partial differential equation system is constructed. To obtain the optimal control law, the policy iteration in adaptive dynamic programming is adopted to design the time-delay temperature field controller, and neural network is used for the critic network in policy iteration to approximate the optimal time-delay cost function. The closed-loop system stability is proved by designing the Lyapunov function which contains the time-delay information. Finally, through establishing the time-delay temperature field model for roller kiln, the effectiveness and convergence of the proposed method is verified and proved.

Dear Editor, This letter introduces an innovative event-triggered secondary control strategy for Microgrid (MG) to address challenges of low inertia and renewable energy integration. Utilizing semi-Markov switching topologies, this method employs semi-Markov jump processes for accurate load forecasting, facilitating adaptive adjustments of distributed generators (DGs) in response to load changes. A heterogeneous multi-agent system formulates a frequency tracking controller compatible with diverse DG frequency characteristics. An event-triggered communication protocol is integrated, validated for stability using Lyapunov theory. Simulations demonstrate improved frequency regulation, communication efficiency, and MG inertia, proving the strategy's superiority over existing methods.

This article presents an adaptive fault-tolerant tracking control strategy for unknown affine nonlinear systems subject to actuator faults and external disturbances. To address the hyperparameter initialization challenges inherent in conventional neural network training, an improved self-organizing radial basis function neural network (SRBFNN) with an input-dependent variable structure is developed. Furthermore, a novel self-organizing RBFNN-based observer is introduced to estimate system states across all dimensions. Leveraging the reconstructed states, the proposed adaptive controller effectively compensates for all uncertainties, including estimation errors in the observer, ensuring accurate state tracking with reduced control effort. The uniform ultimate boundedness of all closed-loop signals and tracking errors is rigorously established via Lyapunov stability analysis. Finally, simulations on two different nonlinear systems comprehensively validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control approach.

Dear Editor, This letter addresses the Nash equilibrium seeking problem for games with second-order players subject to unknown input dead-zones and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. By using ideas from the digital twin, a distributed Nash equilibrium seeking strategy is proposed. In the proposed strategy, the twin players are designed to be second-order integrators, based on which a distributed control law is provided so as to find the Nash equilibrium under DoS attacks. Moreover, adaptive control laws and sliding mode control laws are synthesized for the actual players such that they can track the twin players under unknown input dead-zones. Theoretical investigations show that the proposed strategy is effective to drive the actions of actual players to the Nash equilibrium under the given conditions. A numerical example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Switched linear parameter varying (LPV) systems have, in recent years, inspired a great number of research endeavors owing to their excellent ability to approximate nonlinear systems and handle complex hybrid dynamics in system analysis and synthesis. Nevertheless, numerous difficulties and challenges are also encountered due to the reciprocal effects of switching signals and scheduling parameters in the analysis and synthesis of switched LPV systems. In this paper, the standard description and specific characteristics of switched LPV systems are first introduced. Then, the main methodologies are proposed in the literature to cope with stability and performance analysis, control synthesis, as well as fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control issues, and the typical applications in various fields are surveyed.

Extended state observer (ESO) is heavily limited by the unknown disturbance and its derivative, which requires high observing gains to decrease estimating error, resulting in serious noise sensitivity. To modify the disturbance estimation characteristics encountered by the observer, the active compression extended state observer (ACESO) is proposed in this study. The ACESO decreases the bound of residual lumped disturbance and its derivative by actively compressing the initial lumped disturbance, without relying on prior knowledge. The stability constraint and convergence results of ACESO are analyzed and compared with ESO theoretically. The results show that the ACESO mitigates the trade-off between noise sensitivity and high-gain observation. Benefiting from active compression, the ACESO has substantially less noise sensitivity than the ESO, while obtaining the same and even better estimating performance than the ESO. In addition, the nonlinear ACESO is discussed, which automatically balances the contradiction between estimation and convergence. Simulations and experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
