Recently we proposed relative observability for supervisory control of discrete-event systems under partial observation. Relative observability is closed under set unions and hence there exists the supremal relatively observable sublanguage of a given language. In this paper we present a new characterization of relative observability, based on which an operator on languages is proposed whose largest fixpoint is the supremal relatively observable sublanguage. Iteratively applying this operator yields a monotone sequence of languages; exploiting the linguistic concept of support based on Nerode equivalence, we prove for regular languages that the sequence converges finitely to the supremal relatively observable sublanguage, and the operator is effectively computable. Moreover, for the purpose of control, we propose a second operator that in the regular case computes the supremal relatively observable and controllable sublanguage. The computational effectiveness of the operator is demonstrated on a case study.

We identify a new observability concept, called relative observability, in supervisory control of discrete-event systems under partial observation. A fixed, ambient language is given, relative to which observability is tested. Relative observability is stronger than observability, but enjoys the important property that it is preserved under set union; hence there exists the supremal relatively observable sublanguage of a given language. Relative observability is weaker than normality, and thus yields, when combined with controllability, a generally larger controlled behavior; in particular, no constraint is imposed that only observable controllable events may be disabled. We design algorithms which compute the supremal relatively observable (and controllable) sublanguage of a given language, which is generally larger than the normal counterparts. We demonstrate the new observability concept and algorithms with a Guideway and an AGV example.
This paper proposes an actuator security index based on the definition of perfect undetectability. This index can help a control system operator to localize the most vulnerable actuators in the networked control system, which can then be secured. Par ticularly, the security index of an actuator equals the minimum number of sensors and actuators that needs to be compromised, such that a perfectly undetectable attack against that actuator can be conducted. A method for computing the index for small scale networked control systems is derived, and it is shown that the index can potentially be increased by placing additional sensors. The difficulties that appear once the system is of a large scale are then outlined: the problem of calculating the index is NP--hard, the index is vulnerable to system variations, and it is based on the assumption that the attacker knows the entire model of the system. To overcome these difficulties, a robust security index is introduced. The robust index can be calculated in polynomial time, it is unaffected by the system variations, and it can be related to both limited and full model knowledge attackers. Additionally, we analyze two sensor placement problems with the objective to increase the robust indices. We show that both of these problems have submodular structures, so their suboptimal solutions with performance guarantees can be obtained in polynomial time. Finally, the theoretical developments are illustrated through numerical examples.
This paper investigates the problem of distributed network-wide averaging and proposes a new greedy gossip algorithm. Instead of finding the optimal path of each node in a greedy manner, the proposed approach utilises a suboptimal communication path by performing greedy selection among randomly selected active local nodes. Theoretical analysis on convergence speed is also performed to investigate the characteristics of the proposed algorithm. The main feature of the new algorithm is that it provides great flexibility and well balance between communication cost and convergence performance introduced by the stochastic sampling strategy. Extensive numerical simulations are performed to validate the analytic findings.

In this investigation we revisit the concept of effective free surfaces arising in the solution of the time-averaged fluid dynamics equations in the presence of free boundaries. This work is motivated by applications of the optimization and optimal c ontrol theory to problems involving free surfaces, where the time-dependent formulations lead to many technical difficulties which are however alleviated when steady governing equations are used instead. By introducing a number of precisely stated assumptions, we develop and validate an approach in which the interface between the different phases, understood in the time-averaged sense, is sharp. In the proposed formulation the terms representing the fluctuations of the free boundaries and of the hydrodynamic quantities appear as boundary conditions on the effective surface and require suitable closure models. As a simple model problem we consider impingement of free-falling droplets onto a fluid in a pool with a free surface, and a simple algebraic closure model is proposed for this system. The resulting averaged equations are of the free-boundary type and an efficient computational approach based on shape optimization formulation is developed for their solution. The computed effective surfaces exhibit consistent dependence on the problem parameters and compare favorably with the results obtained when the data from the actual time-dependent problem is used in lieu of the closure model.
We give conditions characterizing holomorphic and meromorphic functions in the unit disk of the complex plane in terms of certain weak forms of the maximum principle. Our work is directly inspired by recent results of John Wermer, and by the theory o f the projective hull of a compact subset of complex projective space developed by Reese Harvey and Blaine Lawson.
