Dynamic Memory Event-Triggered Adaptive Control for a Class of Strict-Feedback Nonlinear Systems

A robust adaptive tracking control problem is discussed for a class of strict-feedback uncertain nonlinear systems. Takagi-Sugeno type fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the uncertainties. A unified and systematic procedure is developed to derive a novel robust adaptive tracking controller by use of the input-to-state stability (ISS) and by combining the dynamic surface control (DSC)-based backstepping technique and generalized small gain approach. The key features of the algorithm are that, firstly, the problem of ldquoexplosion of complexityrdquo inherent in the conventional backstepping method is circumvented, secondly, the number of parameters updated on line for each subsystem is reduced dramatically to 2. These features result in a much simpler algorithm, which is convenient to realize in application. In addition, it is shown that all closed-loop signals are semi-global uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB). Finally, simulation results via an application example of a pendulum system with motor is used to demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed scheme.

In this paper, robust adaptive control problem is discussed for a class of output feedback nonlinear switched systems with unmodeled dynamics and time-varying constraints. Based on the common Lyapunov function (CLF), an adaptive output feedback dynamic surface control (DSC) scheme is developed. Radial basis function neural networks are utilized to approximate unknown continuous functions, and K-filters and a dynamic signal are designed to estimate the unmeasured states and deal with the dynamic uncertainty. An asymmetric barrier Lyapunov function (ABLF) is introduced to handle output constraint. It is proved that the designed controller can guarantee the semi- global uniform ultimate boundedness (SGUUB) for all the signals in the closed-loop system under arbitrary switchings. The simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a neural adaptive controller for a class of nonlinear system in the presence of input saturation and arbitrary unknown information by integrating the design framework of neural networks (NNs) with the dynamic surface control (DSC) and backstepping technique. NNs are directly used to deal with unknown nonlinear terms. By introducing a well-defined smooth function and a Nussbaum function, a novel robust adaptive control scheme is developed to guarantee the states of system to be semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB). Owing to the introduction of DSC, the problem of ‘explosion of complexity’ inherent in the backstepping design is effectively eliminated. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and simplicity of the proposed method.

This paper is concerned with the problem of adaptive neural output-feedback control for a class of nonlinear strict-feedback systems. In this research, radial basis function (RBF) neural networks (NNs) are used to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions and a state observer is constructed to estimate the immeasurable state variables. An adaptive neural output feedback control scheme is proposed via backstepping technique. The proposed design method can guarantee semi-global uniform ultimate boundedness (SGUUB) of all signals in the closed-loop system, and ensures the observer errors converge to a small neighborhood. At last, a simulation example is included to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper focuses on the problem of the event-triggered adaptive containment control for a class of nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) with prescribed performance and immeasurable states. First, the radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) are adopted to approximate the uncertain smooth nonlinear function, and the neural network-based state observer is designed to estimate the unmeasurable state. Besides, to reduce the control resource consumption and get a better balance between the system performance and network constraints, the switching threshold-based event-triggered control strategy is introduced. Based on this, the novel distributed containment controller is designed by utilizing the adaptive backstepping technique and the dynamic surface control (DSC) technique to guarantee that the output of each follower converges to the convex hull formed by multileader. Moreover, the containment errors can be converged to the prescribed boundary and all signals in closed-loop system are semi-global uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB) as well. Finally, the simulation examples are carried out to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed controller.

In this paper, a novel adaptive NN control scheme is proposed for a class of uncertain single-input and single- output(SISO) nonlinear time-delay systems with the lower triangular form. RBF NNs are used to approximate unknown nonlinear functions, then the adaptive NN tracking controller is constructed by combining Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and the dynamic surface control(DSC) technique along with the minimal-learning-parameters(MLP) algorithm. The proposed controller guarantees uniform ultimate boundedness of all the signals in the closed-loop system, while the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of the origin. An advantage of the proposed control scheme lies in that the number of adaptive parameters is reduced dramatically to one, both problems of “explosion of complexity” and “curse of dimension” are solved simultaneously.

This paper considers the adaptive neuro-fuzzy control scheme to solve the output tracking problem for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear systems. Both asymmetric output constraints and input saturation are considered. An asymmetric barrier Lyapunov function with time-varying prescribed performance is presented to tackle the output-tracking error constraints. A high-gain observer is employed to relax the requirement of the Lipschitz continuity about the nonlinear dynamics. To avoid the "explosion of complexity", the dynamic surface control (DSC) technique is employed to filter the virtual control signal of each subsystem. To deal with the actuator saturation, an additional auxiliary dynamical system is designed. It is theoretically investigated that the parameter estimation and output tracking error are semi-global uniformly ultimately bounded. Two simulation examples are conducted to verify the presented adaptive fuzzy controller design.

This work concentrates on the adaptive resilient dynamic surface controller design problem for uncertain nonlinear lower triangular stochastic cyber-physical systems (CPSs) subject to unknown deception attacks based on a switching threshold event-triggered mechanism. The adverse effect of deception attacks on the stochastic CPSs is that the exact system state variables become unavailable. Furthermore, it should be emphasized that the coexistence of unknown nonlinearities, stochastic perturbations, and unknown sensor and actuator attacks makes it a very difficult and challenging event to implement the control design. To get the desired controller, radial basis function (RBF) neural networks (NNs) are introduced so that the design obstacle caused from the unknown nonlinearities can be easily solved. On this basis, in order to save resources and effectively transmit, the event-triggered control scheme based on a switching threshold strategy is further considered. In the backstepping design process, the dynamic surface control (DSC) technique is presented to deal with the issue of "explosion of complexity." By skillfully designing a new coordinate transformation and the attack compensators, the problem of unknown deception attacks is successfully handled. Under our proposed control scheme, all the closed-loop signals are bounded in probability and the stabilization errors converge to an adjustable neighborhood of the origin in probability. Finally, the simulation results on the double chemical reactor show the validity of the proposed design scheme.

Adaptive output feedback dynamic surface control of nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics and unknown high-frequency gain sign

This paper focuses on the problem of adaptive neural network (NN) tracking control for a class of pure-feedback stochastic nonlinear systems. Via the dynamic surface control (DSC) technique and neural networks' approximation capability, a novel adaptive NN control scheme is proposed. Without using the mean value theorem, an affine variable at each step is constructed. By introducing the additional first-order low-pass filter for the actual control input, the algebraic loop problem in pure-feedback stochastic nonlinear systems is solved. It is proved that the proposed controller ensures that all the signals in the closed-loop system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB) in probability while the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of the origin. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this work, the tracking control problem for a class of nonlinear strict-feedback systems with input nonlinearity is addressed. In response to the influence of input nonlinearity, an auxiliary control system is constructed to compensate for it. To process unknown nonlinear dynamics, radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) are introduced to approximate them, and some adaptive updating control laws are designed to estimate unknown parameters. Furthermore, during the dynamic surface control (DSC) design process, first-order low-pass filters are introduced to solve the complexity explosion problems caused by repeated differentiation. After that, an NN-based adaptive dynamic surface tracking controller is proposed to achieve the tracking control. By applying the proposed controller, it can be guaranteed that not only the output of the system can track the desired trajectory, but also that the tracking error can converge to a small neighborhood of zero, while all signals of the closed-loop system are bounded. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified through two examples.

This paper presents an adaptive neural tracking control approach for uncertain stochastic nonlinear time‐delay systems with input and output constraints. Firstly, the dynamic surface control (DSC) technique is incorporated into adaptive neural control framework to overcome the problem of ‘explosion of complexity’ in the control design. By employing a continuous differentiable asymmetric saturation model, the input constraint problem is solved. Secondly, the appropriate Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional and the property of hyperbolic tangent functions are used to deal with the unknown time‐delay terms, RBF neural network is utilized to identify the unknown systems functions, and barrier Lyapunov functions (BLFs) are designed to avoid the violation of the output constraint. Finally, based on adaptive backstepping technique, an adaptive neural control method is proposed, and it decreases the number of learning parameters. Using Lyapunov stability theory, it is proved that the designed controller can ensure that all the signals in the closed‐loop system are 4‐Moment (or 2 Moment) semi‐globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB) and the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of the origin. Two simulation examples are provided to further illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Adaptive fuzzy dynamic surface control of nonlinear systems with input saturation and time-varying output constraints

This paper investigates the consensus problem of linear multi-agent systems subject to external disturbances via distributed event-triggered adaptive control. First, a distributed event-triggered adaptive output feedback control strategy is proposed for each agent. It is shown that under this control strategy, the consensus problem can be solved for any connected undirected communication graph in a fully distributed manner without using any global information. Then a distributed self-triggered adaptive output feedback control strategy is designed with which continuous monitoring of the measurement error is no longer needed. It is further shown that for the proposed event-triggered and self-triggered control strategies, no agent will exhibit Zeno behavior. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed two control strategies is illustrated on a group of two-mass-spring systems.
