Sommario
On October 3rd, 2023 at 11.00 am Prof. Leonid Mirkin will hold a seminar on "Topics on Diffusively-Coupled Control: Sampled Information Exchange and the Dangers of Cancel Culture" in DEIB Seminar Room (Building 20).
The diffusively-coupled architecture is a well-studied key ingredient of numerous coordination algorithms for multi-agent systems. This talk is devoted to two lesser studied aspects of it. In the first half the classical consensus protocol under sampled, possibly intermittent and asynchronous, information exchange between neighboring agents will be addressed. I will demonstrate that a small deviation from the conventional modus operandi could lead to substantial simplifications of the analysis and improved performance.
In the second half the internal stability of diffusively-coupled schemes will be discussed.
The analysis leads to somewhat surprising conclusions and a curious twist on the classical pole-zero cancellation theme.

Biografia
Leonid Mirkin is a native of Frunze, Kirghiz SSR, USSR (now Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic).
He received the electrical engineering degree from Frunze Polytechnic Institute and the Ph.D. (candidate of sciences) degree in automatic control from the Institute of Automation, Academy of Sciences, Kyrgyz Republic, in 1989 and 1992, respectively. From 1989 to 1993, he was with the Institute of Automation, Academy of Sciences of Kyrgyz Republic.
In 1994 he joined the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology, first as a postdoc and then as a faculty member. His research interests include systems theory, control and estimation of sampled-data systems, dead-time compensation, systems with preview, distributed control, and exploiting control redundancy.
Dr. Mirkin is a Member of IEEE and has served on the editorial boards of the IET Control Theory and Applications, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, and the European Journal of Control.
