Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Data-based learning methods are an important and hot research direction in modern control theory and pattern recognition, among other fields. In contrast to traditional control techniques, data-based learning control methods require less information about system dynamics and use collected and stored data to construct the controllers or the control inputs and to discover underlying patterns; these methods have demonstrated superior performance. Despite the success of data-based learning methods for repetitive or non-strict repetitive control systems, pattern recognition, reinforcement learning, etc., data-based learning paradigms and their applications are still lacking.

This Special Issue aims to collect works on novel data-driven methods and their applications for repetitive or non-strict repetitive control systems. Works that include topics such as the design and analysis of iterative learning control systems, data-driven learning control techniques, non-standard iterative learning control, reinforcement learning, pattern recognition, and other learning control topics based on data are of particular interest.

Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Design and analysis of iterative learning control systems;
  • Networked iterative learning control systems;
  • Data-driven control techniques;
  • Non-standard iterative learning control;
  • Optimization iterative learning control;
  • Iterative learning control for large-scale systems;
  • Robust iterative learning control;
  • Reinforcement learning, pattern recognition and their applications.

In this paper, an adaptive backstepping control scheme is proposed to solve the the surge motion tracking control problem of an autonomous undersea vehicle (AUV) with system constraint. First, an initial rectification reference signal is constructed for the subsequent implementation of deferred output constraint and making the control input smaller and smoother in the early stage of system operation. Second, a barrier Lyapunov function is adopted for developing an output-constrained state feedback adaptive controller. Then, on the basis of coordinate transformation and estimating the derivative of surge displacement by a linear and nonlinear combined differentiator, we develop an output feedback adaptive backstepping control scheme for AUVs whose velocity signals are unmeasurable. We also carried out a comparative numerical simulation with traditional adaptive control to verify the feasibility of the proposed control strategy. Full article

In this paper, the impulsive multiple-bipartite consensus problem is discussed for networked second-order multi-agent systems (MASs) over directed network topology with acyclic partition. The definition of the multiple-bipartite consensus is introduced into second-order MASs by effectively combining the characteristics of bipartite consensus and group consensus based on the unique structure of network topology with acyclic and structural balance. By thoroughly exploring the coupling state between agents, a distributed impulsive multiple-bipartite consensus control protocol is designed for each agent by only measuring the relative information of its neighbors. Some sufficient conditions that guarantee realizing multiple-bipartite consensus are given, and the corresponding stability analysis is based on an improved Laplacian matrix associated with the network topology. Finally, some simulation examples are presented to verify the theoretical results. Full article
