Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Systems with Uncertainties 1st Edition

Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Systems with Uncertainties, 1st Edition — Hao Zhang, Chao Huang, Zhuping Wang, Huaicheng Yan

Unlock the frontier of distributed control with this authoritative guide to coordinating multiple autonomous agents under real-world uncertainties. Engineered for graduate students, researchers, and control engineers, this book presents rigorous theory and practical insights for designing resilient, scalable multi-agent systems across robotics, UAV swarms, smart grids, connected vehicles, and industrial automation.

Beginning with a clear exposition of mathematical foundations—graph theory, stability analysis, and Lyapunov methods—the authors systematically address consensus, formation control, and cooperative estimation in the presence of stochastic disturbances, time-varying delays, switching topologies, and model nonlinearities. Each chapter balances formal proofs with intuitive explanations, offering robust control strategies, adaptive algorithms, and distributed protocol design that work when network links fail or models are uncertain.

Readers will appreciate the book’s applied focus: algorithm derivation, convergence conditions, and performance bounds are complemented by simulation studies and real‑world examples that bridge theory and implementation. Whether you’re developing swarm navigation algorithms, resilient power systems, or cooperative sensing networks, this volume equips you with the tools to analyze stability, ensure robustness, and achieve reliable coordination under uncertainty.

A must-have reference for academic courses and professional libraries, Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Systems with Uncertainties delivers a comprehensive, accessible roadmap for mastering distributed control challenges faced by researchers and practitioners worldwide. Add it to your collection to deepen expertise and accelerate innovation in multi-agent systems.
