Event-Triggered Robust Distributed MPC for Multi-Agent Systems with A Two-Step Event Verification
Open accessAbstract
An event-triggered robust distributed model predictive control (MPC) problem for multi-agent systems with bounded disturbances is studied in this paper. For each agent, a two-step triggering scheme is designed to decide when to solve its individual optimization problem, leading to reduced usage of computational resources. This scheme synthesizes a two-step event verification with a specified triggering condition and a waiting horizon based on a prediction model and a robust positively invariant set of the corresponding agent. The theoretical conditions for recursive feasibility and closed-loop robust stability are developed. The consensus among all agents is achieved. A simulation example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
