This paper investigates the problem of quantized cooperative output regulation of linear multi-agent systems with switching graphs. A novel dynamic encoding-decoding scheme with a finite communication bandwidth is designed. Leveraging this scheme, a distributed protocol is proposed, ensuring asymptotic convergence of the tracking error under both bounded and unbounded link failure durations. Compared with the existing quantized control work of MASs, the semi-global assumption of initial conditions...

The main objective of this paper is to develop an effective evolutionary algorithm (EA) for the path-assignment problem in survivable connection-oriented networks. We assume a single-link failure scenario, which is the most common and frequently reported failure event. Since the network flow is modeled as a non-bifurcated multicommodity flow, the discussed optimization problem is NP-complete. Thus, we develop an effective heuristic algorithm based on an evolutionary algorithm. The main novelty of...
