Abstract: This paper deals with a new systematic multimodel controller design for nonlinear systems. The design of local controllers based on performance requirements is incorporated with the concept of local models selection as an ...

Abstract: This paper deals with a refined analysis and modification of existing results on the flocking algorithms proposed for the second order dynamic agents. In the present work, the limiting condition of ever connectivity is ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new multimodel controller design approach incorporating stability and performance criteria. The gap metric is employed to measure the distance between local models. An efficient method based on state ...

Abstract: Efficient control of a gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process enables one to obtain high quality products as a consequence of achieving a high quality weld. Although control of the droplet detachment frequency in the welding ...

Abstract: This paper studies the leader–follower flocking of multi-agent systems for the linear second-order dynamics, subject to the external disturbance problem. It is assumed that the dynamic of the leader is Lipschitz-type. Also, ...

Abstract: It is aimed to obtain global finite time stabilization of a class of uncertain multiinput–multioutput (MIMO) nonlinear systems in the presence of bounded disturbances by applying nonsingular terminal sliding mode ...

Abstract: This paper considers flocking to the virtual leader in network of agents with doubleintegrator. A locally linear algorithm is employed which guarantees exponential flocking to the virtual leader. A lower bound for flocking ...

Abstract: In a multiagent system, the number and initial position of informed agents play a major role in the convergence of uninformed agents. In this paper, three different patterns of informed agents' initial positions are studied ...
