Design of Cooperative Output Regulators for Heterogeneous Uncertain Nonlinear Multiagent Systems
Abstract:
Cooperative output regulation (COR) of multiagent systems having heterogeneous uncertain nonlinear dynamics is often challenging because of the complex system dynamics and the coupling among agents. This article develops an adaptive internal model-based distributed regulator such that the outputs of a network of nonlinear agents are all regulated to a reference despite external disturbances. Specifically, we consider heterogeneous agents having nonlinear strict-feedback forms, with nonidentical unknown control directions, and subject to an unknown linear exosystem. Addressing the nonlinear COR problem shows the capability and flexibility of the proposed output regulator. The simulation results of output synchronization of Lorenz systems and cooperative tracking control of multiple ships are presented to show the capability of the proposed regulator.

Parameters Affecting Nonlinear Elimination: Zero-Order Input, First-Order Absorption and Two-Compartment Model
When a drug is administered through a constant intravenous infusion and eliminated via nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it follows zero-order input. For example, oral drugs undergo first-order absorption upon administration and are eliminated through nonlinear pharmacokinetics.
In the case of subcutaneously administered drugs,...
Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
