چکیده

This paper examines the system dynamics of a controlled networked multi-agent system, operating with a consensus-type algorithm, that is under the influence of attached node(s). We introduce an identification scheme, involving excitation and observation of the network by the attached node(s), that identifies the spectrum of the underlying system matrix in this case the influenced network’s modified graph Laplacian. Following this identification, infiltration node(s) are then attached to a set of nodes in the network with the objective of sabotaging the network by delivering a constant mean control signal. The spectrum of the modified graph Laplacian provides bounds on the convergence of the system states due to infiltration, quantifying the network’s security. We also derive bounds on the effectiveness of the network infiltration in a more general setting by examining the controllability gramian of the infiltrated consensus-type coordination algorithm.

Adaptive Leader-Following and Leaderless Consensus of a Class of Nonlinear Systems Using Neural Networks

This paper deals with leader-following and leaderless consensus problems of high-order multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) multi-agent systems with unknown nonlinear dynamics in the presence of uncertain external disturbances. The agents may have different dynamics and communicate together under a directed graph. A distributed adaptive method is designed for both cases. The structures of the contro...

Identification of Crack Location and Depth in a Structure by GMDH- type Neural Networks and ANFIS

The Existence of crack in a structure leads to local flexibility and changes  the stiffness and dynamic behavior of the structure. The dynamic behavior of the cracked structure depends on the depth and the location of the crack. Hence, the changes in the dynamic behavior in the structure due to the crack can be used for identifying the location and depth of the crack. In this study the first th...

Aircraft Visual Identification by Neural Networks

In the present paper, an efficient method for three dimensional aircraft pattern recognition is introduced. In this method, a set of simple area based features extracted from silhouette of aerial vehicles are used to recognize an aircraft type from its optical or infrared images taken by a CCD camera or a FLIR sensor. These images can be taken from any direction and distance relative to the fly...

Estimation of Soil Infiltration in Agricultural and Pasture Lands using Artificial Neural Networks and Multiple Regressions

Common methods to determine the soil infiltration need extensive time and are expensive. However, the existence of non-linear behaviors in soil infiltration makes it difficult to be modeled. With regards to the difficulties of direct measurement of soil infiltration, the use of indirect methods toestimate this parameter has received attention in recent years. Despite the existence of various th...
