This paper proposes a general framework for constructing feedback controllers that drive complex dynamical systems to efficient steady-state (or slowly varying) operating points. Efficiency is encoded using generalized equations which can model a broad spectrum of useful objectives, such as optimality or equilibria (e.g. Nash, Wardrop, etc.) in noncooperative games. The core idea of the proposed approach is to directly implement iterative solution (or equilibrium seeking) algorithms in closed loop with physical systems. Sufficient conditions for closed-loop stability and robustness are derived; these also serve as the first closed-loop stability results for sampled-data feedback-based optimization. Numerical simulations of smart building automation and game-theoretic robotic swarm coordination support the theoretical results.

In this paper, we aim to develop distributed continuous-time algorithms under directed graphs to seek the Nash equilibrium of a noncooperative game. Motivated by the existing consensus-based designs in Gadjov and Pavel (2019), we present a distributed algorithm with a proportional gain for weight-balanced directed graphs. By further embedding a distributed estimator of the left eigenvector associated with zero eigenvalue of the graph Laplacian, we extend it to the case with arbitrary strongly connected directed graphs having possible unbalanced weights. In both cases, the Nash equilibrium is proven to be exactly reached with an exponential convergence rate.
We consider optimization problems for (networked) systems, where we minimize a cost that includes a known time-varying function associated with the systems outputs and an unknown function of the inputs. We focus on a data-based online projected gradient algorithm where: i) the input-output map of the system is replaced by measurements of the output whenever available (thus leading to a closed-loop setup); and ii) the unknown function is learned based on functional evaluations that may occur infrequently. Accordingly, the feedback-based online algorithm operates in a regime with inexact gradient knowledge and with random updates. We show that the online algorithm generates points that are within a bounded error from the optimal solution of the problem; in particular, we provide error bounds in expectation and in high-probability, where the latter is given when the gradient error follows a sub-Weibull distribution and when missing measurements are modeled as Bernoulli random variables. We also provide results in terms of input-to-state stability in expectation and in probability. Numerical results are presented in the context of a demand response task in power systems.
We introduce a novel class of Nash equilibrium seeking dynamics for non-cooperative games with a finite number of players, where the convergence to the Nash equilibrium is bounded by a KL function with a settling time that can be upper bounded by a positive constant that is independent of the initial conditions of the players, and which can be prescribed a priori by the system designer. The dynamics are model-free, in the sense that the mathematical forms of the cost functions of the players are unknown. Instead, in order to update its own action, each player needs to have access only to real-time evaluations of its own cost, as well as to auxiliary states of neighboring players characterized by a communication graph. Stability and convergence properties are established for both potential games and strongly monotone games. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate our theoretical results.
In this technical note, we propose a practicable quantized sampled velocity data coupling protocol for synchronization of a set of harmonic oscillators. The coupling protocol is designed in a quantized way via interconnecting the velocities encoded by a uniform quantizer with a zooming parameter in either a fixed or an adjustable form over a directed communication network. We establish sufficient conditions for the networked harmonic oscillators to converge to a bounded neighborhood of the synchronized orbits with a fixed zooming parameter. We ensure the oscillators to achieve synchronization by designing the quantized coupling protocol with an adjustable zooming parameter. Finally, we show two numerical examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed coupling protocol.
In this paper we propose a new operator splitting algorithm for distributed Nash equilibrium seeking under stochastic uncertainty, featuring relaxation and inertial effects. Our work is inspired by recent deterministic operator splitting methods, designed for solving structured monotone inclusion problems. The algorithm is derived from a forward-backward-forward scheme for solving structured monotone inclusion problems featuring a Lipschitz continuous and monotone game operator. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first distributed (generalized) Nash equilibrium seeking algorithm featuring acceleration techniques in stochastic Nash games without assuming cocoercivity. Numerical examples illustrate the effect of inertia and relaxation on the performance of our proposed algorithm.
