Asynchronous hybrid event- and time-triggered control of heterogeneous networks with communication time delays.

This paper addresses the asynchronous leader-following consensus problem for networked double-integrator systems. In practical engineering contexts, there are three key factors that must be considered significantly: (1) asynchronous hybrid event- and time-triggered control, where asynchrony affects event detection, event-triggered processes, and controller updates; (2) heterogeneous networks, wherein position and velocity information are governed by distinct, independent graphs; and (3) communication time delays arising from limited bandwidth and long-distance transmission. Due to the independence of these heterogeneous networks, edge events related to position and velocity information are defined separately.

Target control of complex networks: How to save control energy.

Controlling complex networks has received much attention in the past two decades. In order to control complex networks in practice, recent progress is mainly focused on the control energy required to drive the associated system from an initial state to any final state within finite time. However, one of the major challenges when controlling complex networks is that the amount of control energy is usually prohibitively expensive.

Energy cost for controlling complex networks with linear dynamics.

Examining the controllability of complex networks has received much attention recently. The focus of many studies is commonly trained on whether we can steer a system from an arbitrary initial state to any final state within finite time with admissible external inputs. In order to accomplish the control at the minimum cost, we must study how much control energy is needed to reach the desired state.

Asynchronous Periodic Edge-Event Triggered Control for Double-Integrator Networks With Communication Time Delays.

This paper focuses on the average consensus of double-integrator networked systems based on the asynchronous periodic edge-event triggered control. The asynchronous property lies in the edge event-detecting procedure. For different edges, their event detections are performed at different times and the corresponding events occur independently of each other.
