Maui, Hawaii, USA abstract: This paper investigates the dynamics of networks of systems achieving rendezvous under linear quadratic optimal control. While the dynamics of rendezvous were studied extensively for the symmetric case, where all systems have exactly the same dynamics (such as simple integrators), this paper investigates the rendezvous dynamics for the general case when the dynamics of the systems may be different. We show that the rendezvous is stable and that the post-rendezvous dynamics of the network of systems is entirely defined by the common eigenvalues with common eigenvectors output image. The approach is also extended to the case of constraints on systems states, inputs, and outputs. date: 2012-12 date_type: published publisher: IEEE pagerange: 6554 -6559 event_title: Decision and Control (CDC), 2012 IEEE 51st Annual Conference on id_number: 10.1109/CDC.2012.6426613 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4673-2064-1 book_title: Proceedings of the IEEE 51st Annual Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2012 official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6426613&isnumber=6425800 citation: Di Cairano, Stefano and Pascucci, Carlo A. and Bemporad, Alberto The rendezvous dynamics under linear quadratic optimal control.
