We propose a scalable, distributed algorithm for the optimal transport of large-scale multi-agent systems. We formulate the problem as one of steering the collective towards a target probability measure while minimizing the total cost of…

We consider a decentralized optimal control problem for a linear plant controlled by two controllers, a local controller and a remote controller. The local controller directly observes the state of the plant and can inform the remote…

This paper considers a distributed convex optimization problem over a time-varying multi-agent network, where each agent has its own decision variables that should be set so as to minimize its individual objective subject to local…

We consider scalar decentralized average-cost infinite-horizon LQG problems with two controllers, focusing on the fast dynamics case when the (scalar) eigenvalue of the system is large. It is shown that the best linear controllers'…

We study a class of structured optimal control problems in which the main diagonal of the dynamic matrix is a linear function of the design variable. While such problems are in general challenging and nonconvex, for positive systems we…

Distributed optimization algorithms are used in a wide variety of problems involving complex network systems where the goal is for a set of agents in the network to solve a network-wide optimization problem via distributed update rules. In…

This paper investigates large-population stochastic control problems in which agents share their state information and cooperate to minimize a convex cost functional. The latter is decomposed into individual and coupling costs, with the…

A distributed stochastic optimal control solution is presented for cooperative multi-agent systems. The network of agents is partitioned into multiple factorial subsystems, each of which consists of a central agent and neighboring agents.…

This paper presents a distributed voltage regulation method based on multi-agent system control and network self-organization for a large distribution network. The network autonomously organizes itself into small subnetworks through the…

This paper addresses the distributed optimization of the finite condition number of the Laplacian matrix in multi-agent systems. The finite condition number, defined as the ratio of the largest to the second smallest eigenvalue of the…

In this paper we study the optimal formation control of multiple agents whose interaction parameters are adjusted upon a cost function consisting of both the control energy and the geometrical performance. By optimizing the interaction…

In this paper, we introduce an optimal control problem for multi-agent systems with non-local cost which favors simultaneous aggregation of particles. This is done introducing a time-dependent notion of multiplicity whose intrinsic…

This paper studies an optimal consensus problem for a group of heterogeneous high-order agents with unknown control directions. Compared with existing consensus results, the consensus point is further required to an optimal solution to some…

This paper addresses the fundamental problem of non-uniform area coverage in multi-agent systems, where different regions require varying levels of attention due to mission-dependent priorities. Existing uniform coverage strategies are…

We investigate a distributed optimal control problem for a nonlocal phase field model of viscous Cahn-Hilliard type. The model constitutes a nonlocal version of a model for two-species phase segregation on an atomic lattice under the…

We propose a distributed control, in which many identical control agents are deployed for controlling a linear time-invariant plant that has multiple input-output channels. Each control agent can join or leave the control loop during the…

We introduce a class of distributed control policies for networks of discrete-time linear systems with polytopic additive disturbances. The objective is to restrict the network-level state and controls to user-specified polyhedral sets for…

In this paper, a decentralized stochastic control system consisting of one leader and many homogeneous followers is studied. The leader and followers are coupled in both dynamics and cost, where the dynamics are linear and the cost function…

We study the optimal control of propagation of packets in delay tolerant mobile ad-hoc networks. We consider a two-hop forwarding policy under which the expected number of nodes carrying copies of the packets obeys a linear dynamics. We…

In this work, we design distributed control laws for spatial self-organization of multi-agent swarms in 1D and 2D spatial domains. The objective is to achieve a desired density distribution over a simply-connected spatial domain. Since…
