Max-plus-linear (MPL) systems are a class of discrete event systems that can be described by models that are “linear” in the max-plus algebra. In this paper we focus on MPL systems such as they arise in the context of e.g. manufacturing systems, telecommunication networks, railway networks, and parallel computing. We derive a receding horizon control scheme for MPL systems that guarantees a pri...

Max-plus-linear (MPL) systems are a class of discrete-event systems that can be described by models that are “linear” in the max-plus algebra. MPL systems arise in the context of e.g. manufacturing systems, telecommunication networks, railway networks, and parallel computing. We derive a receding horizon control scheme for MPL systems that guarantees a priori stability (in the sense of boundedn...

In this paper, a receding horizon control strategy for a class of bilinear discrete-time systems with Markovian jumping parameters and constraints is investigated. Specifically, the stochastic jump system under consideration involves control and state multiplicative noise and partly unknown transition probabilities (TPs). The receding horizon formulation adopts an on-line optimization paradigm ...

In this research, we study a control method of a multivehicle system while considering the limitation of communication range for each vehicles. When we control networked vehicles with limitation of communication range, it is important to control the communication network structure of a multi-vehicle system in order to keep the network’s connectivity. From this, we especially aim to control the ...
