Add to basketThis monograph presents new theories and methods for fixed-time cooperative control of multi-agent systems. Fundamental concepts of fixed-time stability and stabilization are introduced with insightful understanding. This book presents solutions for several problems of fixed-time cooperative control using systematic design methods.
The book compares fixed-time cooperative control with asymptotic cooperative control, demonstrating how the former can achieve better closed-loop performance and disturbance rejection properties. It also discusses the differences from finite-time control, and shows how fixed-time cooperative control can produce the faster rate of convergence and provide an explicit estimate of the settling time independent of initial conditions.
This monograph presents multiple applications of fixed-time control schemes, including to distributed optimization of multi-agent systems, making it useful to students, researchers and engineers alike.
Dr Zongyu Zuo received his B.Eng. Degree in automatic control from Central South University, Hunan, China, in 2005, and Ph.D. Degree in control theory and applications from Beihang University (BUAA), Beijing, China, in 2011. He is currently an Associate Professor at the School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering, Beihang University. He was an academic visitor at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Manchester from September 2014 to September 2015 and held an inviting Associate Professorship at Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, UMR CNRS 8201, Unversité de Valenciennes et du Hainaut-Cambrésis in October 2015 and May 2017. Dr Zuo has held two authorized patents and published fifty-nine fully-refereed high quality journal articles.
