Distributed Optimization for Second-Order Discrete-Time Multiagent Systems With Set Constraints.

The optimization problem of second-order discrete-time multiagent systems with set constraints is studied in this article. In particular, the involved agents cooperatively search an optimal solution of a global objective function summed by multiple local ones within the intersection of multiple constrained sets. We also consider that each pair of local objective function and constrained set is exclusively accessible to the respective agent, and each agent just interacts with its local neighbors.

Adaptive control for spacecraft rendezvous subject to actuator faults and saturations.

An adaptive saturated fault-tolerant controller is proposed for a spacecraft rendezvous maneuver with a cooperative target spacecraft. The six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) relative dynamics subject to unknown inertial parameters, external disturbances, actuator faults and saturations are formulated in the pursuer's body-fixed frame. To design controller satisfying asymmetric magnitude constraints, a modified smooth hyperbolic tangent function is applied to approximate the non-differentiable saturation function.

Robust adaptive backstepping neural networks control for spacecraft rendezvous and docking with input saturation.

This paper presents a robust adaptive neural networks control strategy for spacecraft rendezvous and docking with the coupled position and attitude dynamics under input saturation. Backstepping technique is applied to design a relative attitude controller and a relative position controller, respectively. The dynamics uncertainties are approximated by radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs).
