Interaction and Configuration Control for Networks of Dynamical Systems

Abstract

We focus on three main frameworks: (1) we investigate configuration control and coordinated tracking for nonholonomic and Lagrangian multi-agent systems; (2) we introduce systems with switching equilibria, develop control strategies and apply them to the study of interaction between subsystems in a dynamical network; and, (3) finally we study the multi-layer interaction in dynamical networks, adopt an integrated model and use a multiple time-scale separation to achieve the control objectives and decoupling between the layers.
