Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamical models have been successfully employed to study how different molecular components give rise to to cellular functions in biological systems. Such models are of great importance in understanding the underlying mechanisms of complex disease and designing preventive or therapeutic strategies. Complex diseases often start with abnormal mutations of the system, which can be modeled as network damage in network dynamical model. Network control problems design strategy to influence or drive the system to a desired state. Thus network control and damage mitigation strategies are a promising avenue toward developing disease intervention and therapies.Developing network dynamical models and network control strategies are challenging tasks as numerous components interact in a diverse ways in a biological system and we often have incomplete information including the dynamical mechanism and precise quantitative parameters from experimental data. Logic dynamical models, such as Boolean network models, demonstrate their value in such situations, including having considerable dynamic richness and capacity to capture emergent characteristic of real biological systems. I contributed to developing two framework to solve network control problem in Boolean network models. I design compensatory interactions to mitigate multiple network deregulations and stabilize the system as disease prevention or immediate treatment method. I also applied a heuristic algorithm to solve the target control problem in Boolean network models, which can be used to design disease treatment. This heuristic algorithm is based on a concept called domain of influence of node states, which describes the stabilization effect of a long-term intervention. These two frameworks complement each other in their method and purpose. Another way to proceed with incomplete information is structure-based control of continuous models. I test and compare two established methods, structural controllability and feedback-vertex control to understand their differences and elucidate relationship between network topology and network dynamics.I applied the above framework to several real biological models, including dynamical models involved in complex disease such as cancer and T-LGL leukemia. These analytical and computational tools not only generate solutions consistent with established experimental results and previous established tools, but also make predictions to help guide experimentalist to design real solutions to the challenging complex diseases. These developed frameworks in my dissertation also points out new directions for future research in network control. The dissertation is organized in the following way. In chapter 1, I introduce the background, concepts and methods involved in network modeling and network control problems. In chapter 2, I report the work to design immediate damage mitigation strategies through compensatory interactions in Boolean network models. In chapter 3, I report the work to solve the target control problem in Boolean network models through the concept of domain of influence. In chapter 4, I applied the structure-based network control strategies for continuous models to real biological systems. In chapter 5, I discuss possible future works and some preliminary results, especially those inspired by combining ideas from multiple previous chapters.

Download or read book Networked and Event Triggered Control Approaches in Cyber Physical Systems written by Jinhui Zhang and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The insertion of communication networks in feedback control loops complicates analysis and synthesis of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), and network-induced uncertainties may degrade system control performances. Thus, this book researches networked delay compensation and event-triggered control approaches for a series of CPSs subject to network-induced uncertainties. The authors begin with an introduction to the concepts and challenges of CPSs, followed by an overview of networked control approaches and event-triggered control strategies in CPSs. Then, networked delay compensation and event-triggered control approaches are proposed for CPSs with network communication delay, data dropout, signal quantization and event-triggered communication. More specifically, networked delay compensation approaches are proposed for linear/nonlinear networked controlled plant with time-varying and random network communication delays and data dropouts. To reduce computational burden and network communication loads in CPSs, event-triggered control, self-triggered control, co-design of event-triggered control and quantized control techniques, and event-triggered disturbance rejection control approaches are also presented. This book is an essential text for researchers and engineers interested in cybersecurity, networked control, and CPS. It would also prove useful for graduate students in the fields of science, engineering, and computer science.

Download or read book Consensus Over Networked Dynamical Systems written by Mathias Hudoba de Badyn and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation focuses on three main aspects of control theory applied to networked dynamical systems -- how to control networked systems, how to design networks to facilitate control and estimation for such systems, and how to reason about interacting with them. We examine how network symmetries and how the distribution of cooperative and antagonistic interactions facilitate control of the seminal consensus protocol, as well as measures that indicate how well a network facilitates consensus. Various tools for designing complex networks are developed in this dissertation, including decentralized update schemes for improving network edge weights and the time scales on which the agents in the network operate. The crux of the analysis of these algorithms lies in a beautiful connection between electrical network theory, the paradigm of series-parallel networks, and multi-agent consensus. Lastly, we examine how to design feedforward and feedback controllers for consensus networks that have state-dependent edge switching. The key tool is a continuum approximation of the agent dynamics, which allows for an optimal transport approach for feedforward control, and a density gradient feedback scheme.

Download or read book Distributed Control of Large scale Networks written by Siavash Alemzadeh and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Networked systems analysis has been on the forefront of interdisciplinary research over the past few years with applications spanning from a wide variety of research literature, ranging across control systems, learning, power grids, social network, and economics. Control of large-scale networked systems often necessitates the availability of complex models for the interactions amongst the agents. This dissertation tackles some of the aspects of control and learning in such complex interconnected systems from both theoretic and applied viewpoints. We consider networks as "systems'' and study the advantage they bring into control, estimation, and optimization of various applications such as antagonistic networks, network games, and layered networks. Next, we generalize our viewpoint towards networks as a "system-of-systems'' where each system contains a subsystem and consider the distributed control problem on such hierarchy. This part considers methods for synthesis of linear quadratic controllers for large-scale systems that consist of interactive agents. Lastly, we put forward ideas on online iterative synthesis when the control horizon is limited or data collection is expensive. This part suggests potential remedy to some shortcomings that are incurred due to potential faulty assumptions in the preceding chapters of the thesis. An underlying theme to most parts of the manuscript is how well a network's structure facilitates the machinery of control and optimization of systems that are considered in this category. The functionality of methods in each part is demonstrated via illustrative simulations.
