Fair and Sparse Solutions in Network-Decentralized Flow Control

We proposed network-decentralized control strategies, in which each actuator can exclusively rely on local information, without knowing the network topology and the external input, ensuring that the flow asymptotically converges to the optimal one with respect to the p -norm. For 1 < p < ∞ , the flow converges to a unique constant...

Decentralized coordination for area surveillance purposes

The area surveillance problem is the problem of surveying a known or an unknown area with the main purpose of detecting objects. This thesis will tackle the problem of how to employ a group of mobile-sensors for surveying an unobstructed area in an optimal manner. The mobile-sensors should make use of their onboard computers and they should...
