Observer‐Based Adaptive Robust Control of Dual‐Layer Multiagent Epidemic Model: Physical and Information Layers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper proposes an innovative dual‐layer multi‐agent‐based SIS epidemic model, incorporating a physical contact layer to model disease spread through travel or migration between cities, and an information layer to enable the sharing of infection data among healthcare providers across cities even without direct physical connections. An observer is designed to estimate the infected fraction in each city, utilising estimates from neighbouring cities connected in the physical layer in a distributed manner; these estimates are then leveraged in the information layer to synchronise each city's infection trajectory with a virtual leader. Additionally, the control input, typically formulated in multi‐agent systems (MAS), is adopted as the sliding surface, with its stability demonstrated via Lyapunov analysis within the dual‐layer SIS framework. An adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) strategy is developed to address parameter uncertainties to reach this sliding surface, effectively integrating the physical and information layers’ dynamics to drive cities toward disease eradication. Finally, a numerical example is provided to validate the accuracy of the theoretical results.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
