A new look at the statistical model identification

Hirotugu Akaike · 1 Dec 1974

The history of the development of statistical hypothesis testing in time series analysis is reviewed briefly and it is pointed out that the hypothesis testing procedure is not adequately defined as the procedure for statistical model identification. The classical maximum likelihood estimation procedure is reviewed and a new estimate minimum information theoretical criterion (AIC) estimate…

Consensus Problems in Networks of Agents With Switching Topology and Time-Delays

Reza Olfati‐Saber, Richard M. Murray · 1 Sep 2004

In this paper, we discuss consensus problems for networks of dynamic agents with fixed and switching topologies. We analyze three cases: 1) directed networks with fixed topology; 2) directed networks with switching topology; and 3) undirected networks with communication time-delays and fixed topology. We introduce two consensus protocols for networks with and without time-delays and…

Coordination of groups of mobile autonomous agents using nearest neighbor rules

Ali Jadbabaie, Jie Lin, A. Stephen Morse · 1 Jun 2003

In a recent Physical Review Letters article, Vicsek et al. propose a simple but compelling discrete-time model of n autonomous agents (i.e., points or particles) all moving in the plane with the same speed but with different headings. Each agent's heading is updated using a local rule based on the average of its own heading…

Consensus seeking in multiagent systems under dynamically changing interaction topologies

Wei Ren, Randal W. Beard · 1 May 2005

This note considers the problem of information consensus among multiple agents in the presence of limited and unreliable information exchange with dynamically changing interaction topologies. Both discrete and continuous update schemes are proposed for information consensus. This note shows that information consensus under dynamically changing interaction topologies can be achieved asymptotically if the union of…

State-space solutions to standard H/sub 2/ and H/sub infinity / control problems

John C. Doyle, K. Glover, Pramod P. Khargonekar et al. · 1 Jan 1989

Simple state-space formulas are derived for all controllers solving the following standard H/sub infinity / problem: For a given number gamma >0, find all controllers such that the H/sub infinity / norm of the closed-loop transfer function is (strictly) less than gamma . It is known that a controller exists if and only if the…

IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IEEE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control use?
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control uses Numbered (IEEE) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, "A representative article title," IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, vol. 12, no. 3, pp. 45–58, 2023.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control?
No. DocuGuru generates the ieeecolor LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IEEE-ready IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control?
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, published by IEEE. It is a engineering and computer science journal, published by IEEE.
Can I export a submission-ready IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control template (the ieeecolor class) that is ready to submit to IEEE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control template cost?
You can start writing in the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
