On the use of Anderson acceleration in hierarchical control

Abstract: This paper investigates the use of fixed-point Anderson acceleration method (AA) to a recently proposed hierarchical control framework. Due to its model-free property, the AA-based resulting hierarchical framework becomes more generic since no mathematical model of the subsystems at the lower layer is required at the upper coordinator layer. Numerical results are proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach. The paper also presents a modified version of the original hierarchical approach that involves the AA in hierarchical control.
