Resilient Cooperative Control and Optimization of Multi-agent Systems

Resilient Cooperative Control and Optimization of Multi-Agent Systems addresses various resilient cooperative control and optimization problems of multi-agent systems that are vulnerable to physical failure and cyber attacks and consist of multiple decision-making agents that interact in a shared environment to achieve common or conflicting goals. Critical infrastructures, such as smart grids, wireless sensor network, multi-robot system, etc., are typical examples of multi-agent systems that consist of the large-scale physical processes which are monitored and controlled over a set of communication networks and computers.

• Presents solutions to different resilient cooperative control and optimization problems of multi-agent systems
• Includes a wealth of examples on attack-resilient consensus control, time-varying formation tracking control, distributed optimization and distributed Nash equilibrium game-seeking
• Shows, in detail, the practicalities of how to develop an attack-resilient cooperative control and optimization framework
