Read More Boltzmann-Based Distributed Control Method: An Evolutionary Approach using Neighboring Population Constraints
In control systems, several optimization problems have been overcome using Multi-Agent Sys- tems (MAS). Interactions of agents and the complexity of the system can be understood by using MAS. As a result, functional models are generated, which are closer to reality. Nevertheless, the use of models with permanent availability of information between agents is assumed…
