Control of Complex Systems credit:

4 Hours

Control methodologies for complex (i.e., interconnected) dynamic systems. A unified framework based on the vector Liapunov functions concept is used to examine various methodologies: decentralized overlapping control; optimal control of interconnected systems; multi-player differential game theory; decentralized optimization and its link with the multi-criteria optimization. Illustrative examples in areas such as control of groups of unmanned vehicles, control of power systems, and coverage control. Prerequisite: SE 424 .
