This article develops a novel distributed intermittent control framework with the ultimate goal of reducing the communication burden in containment control of multiagent systems communicating via a directed graph. Agents are assumed to be under disturbance and communicate on a directed graph. Both static and dynamic intermittent protocols are proposed. Intermittent H∞ containment control design is considered to attenuate the effect of the disturbance and the game algebraic Riccati equation (GARE) is employed to design the coupling and feedback gains for both static and dynamic intermittent feedback. A novel scheme is then used to unify continuous, static, and dynamic intermittent containment protocols. Finally, simulation results verify the efficacy of the proposed approach.more » « less

This paper considers the control problem with constraints on full-state and control input simultaneously. First, a novel barrier function based system transformation approach is developed to guarantee the full-state constraints. To deal with the input saturation, the hyperbolic-type penalty function is imposed on the control input. The actor-critic based reinforcement learning technique is combined with the barrier transformation to learn the optimal control policy that considers both the full-state constraints and input saturations. To illustrate the efficacy, a numeric simulation is implemented in the end.more » « less
