Distributed control and optimization in multi-agent systems : a graph Laplacian perspective
【摘要】:Distributed multi-agent coordination has been a very active subject studied extensively by the systems and control community in last decades,including distributed consensus,formation control,network localization,distributed optimization,etc.This talk is going to review the main results and progress in these areas from a graph Laplacian perspective.The aim is to provide a big picture of research topics in distributed multi-agent coordination and a systematic perspective in terms of graph Laplacian for understanding the fundamental mechanisms.Several types of generalized graph Laplacian will be introduced,based on which specific research issues on consensus,formation control,network localization,distributed optimization will be discussed.This talk will also highlight several promising research directions along with some open problems that are deemed important for future study.
