Optimal Networked Control Systems with MATLAB
About this ebook
The book begins by providing background on NCS, networked imperfections, dynamical systems, stability theory, and stochastic optimal adaptive controllers in discrete time for linear and nonlinear systems. It lays the foundation for reinforcement learning-based optimal adaptive controller use for finite and infinite horizons. The text then:
- Introduces quantization effects for linear and nonlinear NCS, describing the design of stochastic adaptive controllers for a class of linear and nonlinear systems
- Presents two-player zero-sum game-theoretic formulation for linear systems in input–output form enclosed by a communication network
- Addresses the stochastic optimal control of nonlinear NCS by using neuro dynamic programming
- Explores stochastic optimal design for nonlinear two-player zero-sum games under communication constraints
- Treats an event-sampled distributed NCS to minimize transmission of state and control signals within the feedback loop via the communication network
- Covers distributed joint optimal network scheduling and control design for wireless NCS, as well as the effect of network protocols on the wireless NCS controller design
An ideal reference for graduate students, university researchers, and practicing engineers, Optimal Networked Control Systems with MATLAB® instills a solid understanding of neural network controllers and how to build them.
