摘要
本文对具有非线性函数群集行为的连续时间多智能体系统的分布式优化问题进行了研究.这篇文章旨在说明所有智能体的速度和位置可以渐近一致,并且速度达到最优,从而使局部代价函数之和最小.在这个研究中,每个智能体只知道与其对应的代价函数.首先,文章对局部代价函数作了一些假设;第二,设计了一个分布式控制法则和更新律,该控制法则仅仅依赖于自己和邻居的速度.然后证明了多智能体系统的稳定性以及在最小化局部代价函数之和的同时所有智能体可以避免碰撞.最后,使用一个仿真案例来说明所获得的分析结果.
A distributed optimization problem is investigated for continuous-time multi-agent systems with flocking behavior of a nonlinear continuous function. This paper aims at showing that the velocities and positions of all agents can be the same asymptotically and the velocity is optimal, thus minimizing the sum of local cost functions. In this study, each cost function can only be known to its corresponding agent. Firstly, the paper makes some assumptions about the local cost function; Secondly, a distributed control rule and updating laws are designed, in which each agent depends only on its own velocity and neighbor's velocity. Then, the stability of the multi-agent systems is proved and the agents can avoid inter-agent collision while minimizing the sum of local cost functions. Finally, using a simulation case to illustrate the obtained analytical results.
