A strategy suggested by Stackelberg for static economic competition is considered and extended to the case of dynamic games with biased information pattern. This reasonable when one players knows only his own cost function but other player both functions. As Nash strategies nonzero-sum open-loop feedback could lead different solutions, a phenomenon which does not occur in optimum control problems. Necessary conditions are presented. Dynamic programming used define discrete-time games. simple...

A new point of view for the parameter variation problem in linear multivariable systems is proposed. The output deviations due to variations an open-loop realization are related by a sensitivity matrix closed-loop (feedback) realization. Using time-domain integral square error as performance index, frequency-domain criteria involving derived. sufficient insuring that feedback less affected than having same nominal transfer characteristic. Furthermore, independent integration interval...

Enhancements of the encoding strategy a discrete bidirectional associative memory (BAM) reported by B. Kosko (1987) are presented. There two major concepts in this work: multiple training, which can be guaranteed to achieve recall single trained pair under suitable initial conditions data, and dummy augmentation, all pairs if attaching data training is allowable. In representative computer simulations, has been shown lead an improvement over original for as well. A sufficient condition...

Both comparison sensitivity and robust stability analysis attempt to extend concepts which are well understood in scalar feedback systems multivariable control system design. Although the two bodies of work have developed about a decade apart, basic philosophies similar. maintain property (sensitivity reduction versus stability) presence plant modeling errors. This paper demonstrates how similarity philosophy translates into results interpretations.

The strategy of data fusion has been applied in threat prediction and situation awareness the terminology standardized by Joint Directors Laboratories (JDL) form a so-called JDL model, which currently called DFIG model. Higher levels model call for future development situation. It is known that Bayesian network an insightful approach to determine optimal strategies against asymmetric adversarial opponent. However, it lacks essential decision processes perspective. In this paper, highly...

A nonclassical control problem, where the depends on state and time, its partial derivative with respect to appears in equation cost function is analyzed. Stackelberg dynamic games which lead such problems are considered studied.

Techniques based on pursuit-evasion (PE) games are often applied in military operations of autonomous vehicles (AV) the presence mobile targets. Recently with increasing use AVs, new scenarios emerge such as surveillance and persistent area denial. Compared PE games, actual roles pursuer evader have changed. In these emerging acts an intruder striking at some asset; same time tries to destroy protect asset. Due asset, game model two sets players (pursuers evaders) is no longer adequate. We...

The solution of an optimal state regulator problem for nth-order linear system with quadratic performance index involves the a matrix Riccati equation, consisting n(n + l)/2 coupled nonlinear equations. In this paper, notion ε-coupled systems is introduced, permitting approximation Riccati-equation by truncated Maclaurin series special properties. first term computed from decoupled low-order subsystem higher order terms are Furthermore, mth yields (2m l)th to performance. Thus procedure...

Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for the weights of a generalized correlation matrix bidirectional associative memory (BAM) which guarantee recall all training pairs. A linear programming/multiple (LP/MT) method that determines satisfy when solution is feasible presented. The sequential multiple (SMT) shown to yield integers weights, multiplicities Computer simulation results, including capacity comparisons BAM, LP/MT SMT presented.< <ETX...

An attrition-type discrete-time dynamic model is formulated for two opposing forces, labeled Blue and Red, engaged in a military air operation. The force consists of combat units its objective to destroy fixed target, such as an airport or bridge, which Is being defended by the Red force. ground troops defense units. We functions each side identify associated constraints on control state variables. employ two-level hierarchy command example scenario illustrating implementation this approach...

In this paper, the problem of developing bidding strategies in oligopolistic dynamic electricity double-sided auctions is studied. We model as systems and use Nash-Cournot for market participants (generating firms load serving entities). Through simulation studies, we compare efficiency competitiveness to those supplier-only (using developed strategies).

Existing pursuer-evader (PE) game algorithms do not provide good real-time solutions for situations with the following complexities: (1) multi-pursuer multi-evader, (2) multiple evaders superior control resources such as higher speeds, and (3) jamming confrontation between pursuers evaders. This paper introduces a decentralized approach, in which decentralization strategy reduces computational complexity multievader situations, cooperative chasing guarantees capture of some evaders, min-max...

Results on existence incentive for dynamic games formulated abstract inner-product spaces, absence any causality restriction leader's policies, presented; these results extended specialized two major...

Cooperative and intelligent path planning is important for UAVs to carry out coordinated intelligence, surveillance reconnaissance (ISR) in adversarial environments. In this paper, we propose a game theoretic data fusion aided platform routing algorithm cooperative ISR. Our approach consists of three closely coupled components: 1) closed-loop fusion. The Level 1 (Object), 2 (Situation) 3 (threat) form structure, which Markov intent inferences will execute from the results results. estimated...

A method is described for constructing a feedback control law which remains optimal class of systems with unknown parameters whose values may lie in given regions. The depends only on the input and output, there no explicit dependence parameters. In contrast to usual adaptive strategy, identification or adjustment period. controls generated Taylor series form, but truncation results close range parameter values.
