Distribution of roots of quasi-polynomials of neutral type and its applicationAbstractIn this keynote talk, we first introduce several criteria that are proposed for the distribution of roots of quasi-polynomials of neutral type with complex coefficients. Quasi-polynomials with complex coefficients play an important role in applications, such as consensus of multi-agent systems with a directed network topology. Compared with Pontryagin’s results, the derived criteria can be numerically implemented because the interval of the frequency for analyzing the behavior of the quasi-polynomial can be determined. Then we provide some Hurwitz stability criteria to judge whether all the roots of the quasi-polynomials are in the open left-half complex plane. These Hurwitz stability criteria can be employed to analyze the stability of linear time-invariant systems with commensurate delays. On the one hand, the derived criteria are general since quasi-polynomials of retarded type and quasi-polynomials with real coefficients are their special cases. On the other hand, the conditions in Hurwitz stability criteria are all necessary and sufficient. As a special case, we present several criteria for the distribution of roots of the quasi-polynomials with real coefficients. Finally, we apply the proposed criteria to consensus protocol design of multi-agent systems multi-agent systems using delayed state information.

Advanced Air Mobility: Vehicles, Control and OperationsAbstractIn this talk, the speaker will focus on a few critical issues in the area of advanced air mobility. At the vehicle level, we propose a few directions that can minimize the impact of low energy density and the principles of scenario based vehicle design. At the management and control level, we emphasize the strategic planning of vertiports and routes, tactic design of flow control and departure/arrival control, and the decision of crash avoidance and road-air coordination. At the operational level, three representative scenarios are proposed - flying taxi (up to 10 km), shuttle services (up to 40 km), and metropolitan connections (up to 100 km). The flying car conceptual design and aerodynamic configuration need to be scenario specific. BioXiaobo Qu is a Changjiang Chair Professor with the School of Vehicle and Mobility, Tsinghua University since Dec 2021. His research is focused on intelligent transportation systems, ground-air cooperation and vertical transportation systems, and emerging transport mode informed mobility services. He has authored or co-authored over 180 journal articles published at top tier journals, including 18 ESI highly cited papers. He is an elected Member of Academia Europaea–the Academy of Europe since Aug 2020. He was a faculty member at two Australian Universities from 2012-2017, joined Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, as a Professor in Feb 2018, promoted to Chair Professor rank in Feb 2020 |
