Optimization and multiobjective control of time-discrete systems: dynamic networks and multilayered structures

The study of discrete structures and networks becomes more and more importantin decision theory. A relevant topic in modern control theory reflecting thisfact is concerned with multiobjective control problems and dynamical games. The monograph presents recent developments and applications in the field of multiobjective control of time-discrete systems with a finite set of states. The dynamics of such systems is described by a directed graph in which each vertexcorresponds to a dynamic state and the edges correspond to transitions of thesystem moving from one state to another. This characterization allows us to formulate the considered control models on special dynamic networks. Suitable algorithms are derived exploiting multilayered structures. Game theoretical properties are characterized. A multilayered game on a network can be used to model a certain trading procedure of emission certificates within Kyoto process. Optimal economic behavior and equilibria can be determined. New approach in the field of multiobjective control theory: dynamic networks and multilayered decision processes
