Abstract

Modern control systems can be viewed as interconnections of spatially distributed multiple subsystems, where the individual subsystems share their information with each other through an underlying network that inherently introduces limitations on information flow. Inherent limitations on the flow of information among individual subsystems may stem from structural (topological) constraints of the network and/or communication constraints of the network. Hence, in order to design optimal control and estimation mechanisms for modern control systems, we must answer the following two practical but important questions:

(1) What are the fundamental communication limits to achieve a desired control performance and stability?

(2) What are the approaches one has to adopt to design a decentralized controller for a largescale complex system to deal with structural constraints?

This talk consists of two main parts to address the above questions. The first part of the talk considers problems of control and estimation with limited communication within the framework of stochastic zero-sum dynamic games. In the second part of the talk, we consider large-scale optimization problems via mean field game theory to address structural constraints in large-scale complex systems.
