Controller design of coordinated control problems over finite fields via fully actuated approach

Abstract

This paper discusses coordinated control problems for systems over finite fields via fully actuated approach. Novel types of consensus and synchronization, which are irrelevant to initial states, are proposed. For different coordinated control problems, suitable controllers are designed, which are able to drive the system to the corresponding trajectory in finite steps. Besides, the conclusions are applied to stabilization, and the convergence time is analyzed. As an application, a camera network example is given to illustrate the results.
