In this paper, we consider the state controllability of networked systems, where the network topology is directed and weighted and the nodes are higher-dimensional linear time-invariant (LTI) dynamical systems. We investigate how the network topology, the node-system dynamics, the external control inputs, and the inner interactions affect the controllability of a networked system, and show that for a general networked multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) system: 1) the controllability of the overall network is an integrated result of the aforementioned relevant factors, which cannot be decoupled into the controllability of individual node-systems and the properties solely determined by the network topology, quite different from the familiar notion of consensus or formation controllability; 2) if the network topology is uncontrollable by external inputs, then the networked system with identical nodes will be uncontrollable, even if it is structurally controllable; 3) with a controllable network topology, controllability and observability of the nodes together are necessary for the controllability of the networked systems under some mild conditions, but nevertheless they are not sufficient. For a networked system with single-input/single-output (SISO) LTI nodes, we present precise necessary and sufficient conditions for the controllability of a general network topology.

This paper studies the controllability of networked multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) systems, in which the network topology is weighted and directed, and the nodes are heterogeneous higher-dimensional linear time-invariant (LTI) dynamical systems. The primary objective is to search for controllability criteria beyond those already known for homogeneous networks. The focus is on the effects of the network topology, node dynamics, external control inputs, as well as the inner interactions on the network controllability. It is found that a network of heterogeneous systems can be controllable even if the corresponding homogeneous network topology is uncontrollable. The finding thus unravels another fundamental property that affects the network controllability---the heterogeneity of the node dynamics. A necessary and sufficient condition is derived for the controllability of heterogeneous networked MIMO LTI systems. For some typical cases, necessary and/or sufficient controllability conditions are specified and presented on the node dynamics, inner interactions, as well as the network topology.
In this paper, we consider a MIMO networked control system with an energy harvesting sensor, where an unstable MIMO dynamic system is connected to a controller via a MIMO fading channel. We focus on the energy harvesting and MIMO precoding design at the sensor so as to stabilize the unstable MIMO dynamic plant subject to the energy availability constraint at the sensor. Using the Lyapunov optimization approach, we propose a closed-form dynamic energy harvesting and dynamic MIMO precoding solution, which has an event-driven control structure. Furthermore, the MIMO precoding solution is shown to have an eigenvalue water-filling structure, where the water level depends on the state estimation covariance, energy queue and the channel state, and the sea bed level depends on the state estimation covariance. The proposed scheme is also compared with various baselines and we show that significant performance gains can be achieved.
This paper studies a stabilization problem for linear MIMO systems subject to external perturbation that further requires the closed-loop system render a specified gain from the external perturbation to the output. The problem arises from control of networked systems, in particular, robust output synchronization of heterogeneous linear MIMO multi-agent systems via output feedback/communication. We propose a new approach that converts a class of MIMO systems into a normal form via repeated singular value decomposition and prove that a stabilization controller with a specified external gain can be explicitly constructed for the normal form.Two scenarios with static state feedback and dynamic output feedback are investigated. By integrating the reference model and internal model techniques, the robust output synchronization problem for MIMO multi-agent systems is converted into a stabilization problem with a specified externalgain and solved by the developed approach.
In many large systems, such as those encountered in biology or economics, the dynamics are nonlinear and are only known very coarsely. It is often the case, however, that the signs (excitation or inhibition) of individual interactions are known. This paper extends to nonlinear systems the classical criteria of linear sign stability introduced in the 70s, yielding simple sufficient conditions to determine stability using only the sign patterns of the interactions.
This paper investigates the consensus problem of multiple uncertain Lagrangian systems. Due to the discontinuity resulted from the switching topology, achieving consensus in the context of uncertain Lagrangian systems is challenging. We propose a new adaptive controller based on dynamic feedback to resolve this problem and additionally propose a new analysis tool for rigorously demonstrating the stability and convergence of the networked systems. The new introduced analysis tool is referred to as uniform integral-L_p stability, which is motivated for addressing integral-input-output properties of linear time-varying systems. It is then shown that the consensus errors between the systems converge to zero so long as the union of the graphs contains a directed spanning tree. It is also shown that the proposed controller enjoys the robustness with respect to constant communication delays. The performance of the proposed adaptive controllers is shown by numerical simulations.
