Control of Equalization of Invariants

Abstract

A new class of control problems is discussed - homeostasis control. Homeostasis control problems can be considered as control problems with a given target set, in particular, as a problem of stabilizing the values of some target function, which is an invariant of the control free system. The report examines a more general class: equalizing the values of two or more objective functions, each of which is an invariant of the corresponding subsystem of a complex system. An approach to the design of control algorithms based on the speed gradient method is proposed and the conditions for the pplicability of the approach are established.
