This paper describes an adaptive method in continuous time for the estimation of external fields by a team of $N$ agents. The agents $i$ each explore subdomains $Omega^i$ of a bounded subset of interest $Omegasubset X := mathbb{R}^d$. Ideal adaptive estimates $hat{g}^i_t$ are derived for each agent from a distributed parameter system (DPS) that takes values in the scalar-valued reproducing kernel Hilbert space $H_X$ of functions over $X$. Approximations of the evolution of the ideal local estimate $hat{g}^i_t$ of agent $i$ is constructed solely using observations made by agent $i$ on a fine time scale. Since the local estimates on the fine time scale are constructed independently for each agent, we say that the method is strictly decentralized. On a coarse time scale, the individual local estimates $hat{g}^i_t$ are fused via the expression $hat{g}_t:=sum_{i=1}^NPsi^i hat{g}^i_t$ that uses a partition of unity ${Psi^i}_{1leq ileq N}$ subordinate to the cover ${Omega^i}_{i=1,ldots,N}$ of $Omega$. Realizable algorithms are obtained by constructing finite dimensional approximations of the DPS in terms of scattered bases defined by each agent from samples along their trajectories. Rates of convergence of the error in the finite dimensional approximations are derived in terms of the fill distance of the samples that define the scattered centers in each subdomain. The qualitative performance of the convergence rates for the decentralized estimation method is illustrated via numerical simulations.
We study the problem of estimating the parameters (i.e., infection rate and recovery rate) governing the spread of epidemics in networks. Such parameters are typically estimated by measuring various characteristics (such as the number of infected and
Human impedance parameters play an integral role in the dynamics of strength amplification exoskeletons. Many methods are used to estimate the stiffness of human muscles, but few are used to improve the performance of strength amplification controlle
Requirements are investigated in this paper for each descriptor form subsystem, with which a causal/impulse free networked dynamic system (NDS) can be constructed. For this purpose, a matrix rank based necessary and sufficient condition is at first d
Decentralized conflict resolution for autonomous vehicles is needed in many places where a centralized method is not feasible, e.g., parking lots, rural roads, merge lanes, etc. However, existing methods generally do not fully utilize optimization in
We consider the problem of asymptotic reconstruction of the state and parameter values in systems of ordinary differential equations. A solution to this problem is proposed for a class of systems of which the unknowns are allowed to be nonlinearly pa
