Delay-Robustness in Distributed Control of Timed Discrete-Event Systems Based on Supervisor Localization
Renyuan Zhang, Kai Cai, Yongmei Gan +1
Recently we studied communication delay in distributed control of untimed discrete-event systems based on supervisor localization. We proposed a property called delay-robustness: t…
Local Average Consensus in Distributed Measurement of Spatial-Temporal Varying Parameters: 1D Case
Kai Cai, Brian D. O. Anderson, Changbin Yu +1
We study a new variant of consensus problems, termed `local average consensus', in networks of agents. We consider the task of using sensor networks to perform distributed measurem…
Supervisor Localization of Discrete-Event Systems based on State Tree Structures
Kai Cai, W. M. Wonham
Recently we developed supervisor localization, a top-down approach to distributed control of discrete-event systems in the Ramadge-Wonham supervisory control framework. Its essence…
Relative Observability of Discrete-Event Systems and its Supremal Sublanguages
Kai Cai, Renyuan Zhang, W. Murray Wonham
We identify a new observability concept, called relative observability, in supervisory control of discrete-event systems under partial observation. A fixed, ambient language is giv…
Average Consensus on Arbitrary Strongly Connected Digraphs with Time-Varying Topologies
Kai Cai, Hideaki Ishii
We have recently proposed a "surplus-based" algorithm which solves the multi-agent average consensus problem on general strongly connected and static digraphs. The essence of that…
Supervision Localization of Timed Discrete-Event Systems
Renyuan Zhang, Kai Cai, Yongmei Gan +2
We study supervisor localization for real-time discrete-event systems (DES) in the Brandin-Wonham framework of timed supervisory control. We view a real-time DES as comprised of as…
