The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Simulations and real quadcopter experiments demonstrate the controller's effectiveness in fire suppression while preserving safety and energy sufficiency over multiple charge cycles.

C2weakest assumption

The wildfire can be accurately modeled via PDEs for density-based control, and localization/motion uncertainties remain bounded such that barrier functions can enforce safety and reachability constraints.

C3one line summary

A decentralized optimization-based controller for multi-UAV wildfire suppression ensures safety and energy sufficiency using control Lyapunov and barrier functions under uncertainties.
