This paper proposes a new second-order discrete-time multiagent model and addresses the controllability of second-order multiagent system with multiple leaders and general dynamics. The leaders play an important role in governing the other member agents to achieve any desired configuration. Some sufficient and necessary conditions are given for the controllability of the second-order multiagent system. Moreover, the speed controllability of the second-order multiagent system with general dynamics is discussed. Particularly, it is shown that the controllability of the whole system relies on the number of leaders and the connectivity between the leaders and the members. Numerical examples illustrate the theoretical results.

This paper addresses the controllability problem of multiagent systems with a directed tree based on the classic agreement protocol, in which the information communication topologies being a directed tree and containing a directed tree are both investigated. Different from the literatures, a new method, the star transform, is proposed to study the controllability of multiagent systems with directed topology. Some sufficient and necessary conditions are given for the controllability of such multiagent system. Numerical examples and simulations are proposed to illustrate the theoretical results.

For second-order and high-order dynamic multiagent systems with multiple leaders, the coordination schemes that all the follower agents flock to the polytope region formed by multiple leaders are considered.

This paper investigates the observability of first-order, second-order, and high-order leader-based multiagent systems (MASs) with fixed topology, respectively. Some new algebraic and graphical characterizations of the observability for the first-order MASs are established based on agreement protocols. Moreover, under the same leader-following framework with the predefined topology and leader assignment, the observability conditions for systems of double-integrator and high-integrator agents are also obtained. Finally, the effectiveness of the theoretical results is verified by numerical examples and simulations.

Theoretical Results

A formation control problem for second-order multiagent systems with time-varying delays is considered. First, a leader-following consensus protocol is proposed for theoretical preparation. With the help of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a sufficient condition under this protocol is derived for stability of the multiagent systems. Then, the protocol is extended to the formation control based on a multiple leaders’ architecture. It is shown that the agents will attain the expected formation. Finally, some simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.

Controllability Result

This paper deals with complete controllability of systems governed by linear and semilinear conformable differential equations. By establishing conformable Gram criterion and rank criterion, we give sufficient and necessary conditions to examine that a linear conformable system is null completely controllable. Further, we apply Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem to derive a completely controllability result for a semilinear conformable system. Finally, three numerical examples are given to illustrate our theoretical results.

Deterministic Strategy

We introduce the compound interest rate into the continuous version of the online leasing problem and discuss the generalized model by competitive analysis. On the one hand, the optimal deterministic strategy and its competitive ratio are obtained; on the other hand, a nearly optimal randomized strategy is constructed and a lower bound for the randomized competitive ratios is proved by Yao's principle. With the help of numerical examples, the theoretical results show that the interest rate puts off the purchase date and diminishes the uncertainty involved in the decision making.

Theoretical Results

This paper investigates the formation-containment control of second-order multiagent systems with intermittent communication. Distributed coordination control algorithms are proposed under aperiodic intermittent communication, where each agent only communicates with its neighboring agents on some disconnected time intervals. By means of constructing Lyapunov functions, sufficient convergence conditions are obtained for the leaders reaching a prescribed formation asymptotically and the followers converging into the convex hull formed by leaders asymptotically, respectively. Besides, sufficient convergence conditions are also provided for second-order multiagent systems converging to the desired formation-containment under time-varying communication delay and intermittent communication. Finally, the validity of theoretical results is illustrated by numerical simulations.

The paper studies the joint inventory model between supplier and retailer relying on mutual cooperation. Unlike other studies, the deteriorated rate and partial back-ordering are consistent with assumptions for dealing with more general cases. Since it is difficult to solve this problem directly, we derived the sufficient and necessary conditions in the planning horizon, and proposed a procedure to find the optimal solution. Numerical examples and sensitivity analyses are also provided to illustrate the solution procedure. The results reveal that the extensions of the model provide a wider and reasonable situation in practice, and that they also reduce the total cost.
