This paper studies an optimal consensus problem for a group of heterogeneous high-order agents with unknown control directions. Compared with existing consensus results, the consensus point is further required to an optimal solution to some distributed optimization problem. To solve this problem, we first augment each agent with an optimal signal generator to reproduce the global optimal point of the given distributed optimization problem, and then complete the global optimal consensus design by developing some adaptive tracking controllers for these augmented agents. Moreover, we present an extension when only real-time gradients are available. The trajectories of all agents in both cases are shown to be well-defined and achieve the expected consensus on the optimal point. Two numerical examples are given to verify the efficacy of our algorithms.

In this paper we propose a novel consensus protocol for discrete-time multi-agent systems (MAS), which solves the dynamic consensus problem on the max value, i.e., the dynamic max-consensus problem. In the dynamic max-consensus problem to each agent is fed a an exogenous reference signal, the objective of each agent is to estimate the instantaneous and time-varying value of the maximum among the signals fed to the network, by exploiting only local and anonymous interactions among the agents. The absolute and relative tracking error of the proposed distributed control protocol is theoretically characterized and is shown to be bounded and by tuning its parameters it is possible to trade-off convergence time for steady-state error. The dynamic Max-consensus algorithm is then applied to solve the distributed size estimation problem in a dynamic setting where the size of the network is time-varying during the execution of the estimation algorithm. Numerical simulations are provided to corroborate the theoretical analysis.
In this paper, a distributed learning leader-follower consensus protocol based on Gaussian process regression for a class of nonlinear multi-agent systems with unknown dynamics is designed. We propose a distributed learning approach to predict the re sidual dynamics for each agent. The stability of the consensus protocol using the data-driven model of the dynamics is shown via Lyapunov analysis. The followers ultimately synchronize to the leader with guaranteed error bounds by applying the proposed control law with a high probability. The effectiveness and the applicability of the developed protocol are demonstrated by simulation examples.

In this paper, we investigate a constrained optimal coordination problem for a class of heterogeneous nonlinear multi-agent systems described by high-order dynamics subject to both unknown nonlinearities and external disturbances. Each agent has a pr ivate objective function and a constraint about its output. A neural network-based distributed controller is developed for each agent such that all agent outputs can reach the constrained minimal point of the aggregate objective function with bounded residual errors. Two examples are finally given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm.
We propose a reachability approach for infinite and finite horizon multi-objective optimization problems for low-thrust spacecraft trajectory design. The main advantage of the proposed method is that the Pareto front can be efficiently constructed fr om the zero level set of the solution to a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. We demonstrate the proposed method by applying it to a low-thrust spacecraft trajectory design problem. By deriving the analytic expression for the Hamiltonian and the optimal control policy, we are able to efficiently compute the backward reachable set and reconstruct the optimal trajectories. Furthermore, we show that any reconstructed trajectory will be guaranteed to be weakly Pareto optimal. The proposed method can be used as a benchmark for future research of applying reachability analysis to low-thrust spacecraft trajectory design.

We consider the problem of controlling the group behavior of a large number of dynamic systems that are constantly interacting with each other. These systems are assumed to have identical dynamics (e.g., birds flock, robot swarm) and their group beha vior can be modeled by a distribution. Thus, this problem can be viewed as an optimal control problem over the space of distributions. We propose a novel algorithm to compute a feedback control strategy so that, when adopted by the agents, the distribution of them would be transformed from an initial one to a target one over a finite time window. Our method is built on optimal transport theory but differs significantly from existing work in this area in that our method models the interactions among agents explicitly. From an algorithmic point of view, our algorithm is based on a generalized version of the proximal gradient descent algorithm and has a convergence guarantee with a sublinear rate. We further extend our framework to account for the scenarios where the agents are from multiple species. In the linear quadratic setting, the solution is characterized by coupled Riccati equations which can be solved in closed-form. Finally, several numerical examples are presented to illustrate our framework.
