Multi-Agent Optimization Design for Autonomous Lagrangian Systems

In this paper, distributed optimization control for a group of autonomous Lagrangian systems is studied to achieve an optimization task with local cost functions. To solve the problem, two continuous-time distributed optimization algorithms are designed for multiple heterogeneous Lagrangian agents with uncertain parameters. The proposed algorithms are proved to be effective for those heterogeneous nonlinear agents to achieve the optimization solution in the semi-global sense, even with the exponential convergence rate. Moreover, simulation adequately illustrates the effectiveness of our optimization algorithms.
