Gradient free cooperative seeking of a moving source

Tony Alan Wood

In this paper, we consider the optimisation of a time varying scalar field by a network of agents with no gradient information. We propose a composite control law, blending extremum seeking with formation control in order to converge to the extrema faster ...
