Event-Triggered ILC for Optimal Consensus at Specified Data Points of Heterogeneous Networked Agents With Switching Topologies
针对异构网络化代理在迭代切换拓扑下的指定数据点最优一致问题，提出事件触发点对点迭代学习控制方法，节省通信资源并减少执行器更新次数，适用于线性和非线性离散时间系统。
In this article, the optimal consensus problem at specified data points is considered for heterogeneous networked agents with iteration-switching topologies. A point-to-point linear data model (PTP-LDM) is proposed for heterogeneous agents to establish an iterative input-output relationship of the agents at the specified data points between two consecutive iterations. The proposed PTP-LDM is only used to facilitate the subsequent controller design and analysis. In the sequel, an iterative identification algorithm is presented to estimate the unknown parameters in the PTP-LDM. Next, an event-triggered point-to-point iterative learning control (ET-PTPILC) is proposed to achieve an optimal consensus of heterogeneous networked agents with switching topology. A Lyapunov function is designed to attain the event-triggering condition where only the control information at the specified data points is available. The controller is updated in a batch wise only when the event-triggering condition is satisfied, thus saving significant communication resources and reducing the number of the actuator updates. The convergence is proved mathematically. In addition, the results are also extended from linear discrete-time systems to nonlinear nonaffine discrete-time systems. The validity of the presented ET-PTPILC method is demonstrated through simulation studies.
