This $280,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support the development of new theory and methods to address network-level uncertainty in the control of large-scale networked systems. The research will integrate random graph theory, particularly graphon theory, with structural system theory to model and understand uncertainty in the communication topology of multi-agent control systems. The key goals are to (1) formulate new problems at the intersection of structural system theory and graphon theory, (2) develop analytical tools and geometric approaches for analyzing structural properties of network systems drawn from graphons, and (3) establish new theoretical results and algorithms that could impact both areas. This three-year project, set to begin on September 1, 2024, will leverage the expertise of researchers at the University of Illinois to advance the state-of-the-art in modeling and controlling complex, large-scale networked systems. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
