Cooperative Output Regulation of Multiagent Linear Parameter-Varying Systems

الملخص EN

The output regulation problem is examined in this paper for a class of heterogeneous multiagent systems whose dynamics are governed by polytopic linear parameter-varying (LPV) models.

The dynamics of the agents are decoupled from each other but the agents’ controllers are assumed to communicate.

To design the cooperative LPV controllers, analysis conditions for closed-loop system are first established to ensure stability and reference tracking.

Then, the LPV control synthesis problem is addressed, where the offline solution to a time-varying Sylvester equation will be used to determine and update in real time the controller state-space matrices.

Two numerical examples will be finally given to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed cooperative design method.
