ENHANCED CONVERGENCE IN DISTRIBUTED DESIGN PROCESSES

摘要: The focus of this paper is on studying the convergence properties solution process decentralized or distributed subsystems, where each subsystem has its own design problem, including objective(s), constraints, and variables. challenging aspect type problem comes in coupling which create complex research implementation challenges modeling solving these types problems. We dynamics problems attempt to further understanding fundamental mechanics behind processes order support decisions being made by a network decision makers. In work, domain attraction, region stable equilibrium point guaranteed, studied. Two approaches based concepts from nonlinear control theory are presented: first determines attraction for specified Lyapunov function second optimizes maximizes attraction. two techniques illustrated benchmark pressure vessel problem.
