Event-triggered-based adaptive asymptotic tracking control for stochastic nonlinear time-delay systems with actuator and sensor faults

This paper deals with an adaptive robust tracking control using a multilayer neural network (NN) for a class of nonlinear dynamic systems with unknown time varying state delays. Typical adaptive NN backstepping controllers for uncertain nonlinear systems with time-delay give rise to computation complexity caused by the the repeated derivatives of virtual controllers and nonlinear functions. Moreover, the combined techniques usually result in only uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB) stability caused by the inherent NN approximation error. This paper presents a control scheme that uses an integral sliding mode control as a feedback term and an adaptive neural controller as a feedforward term based on the desired compensation adaptive law (DCAL) technique. First, we develop a new DCAL formulation which avoids the explosion of complexity caused by the general NN backstepping scheme to compensate for nonlinear system uncertainties, bounded system disturbances, and unknown state time delays. Then, using a Lyapunov-Krasovskii (LK) functional, it is shown that the proposed controller renders the class of uncertain nonlinear time-delay systems asymptotically stable.

This article discusses the adaptive fuzzy asymptotic tracking control for high-order nonlinear time-delay systems with full-state constraints. Fuzzy-logic systems and a separation principle are utilized to relax growth assumptions imposed on unknown nonlinearities. The adverse effect caused by unknown time delays is eliminated by choosing appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals. By integrating nonlinear-transformed functions with a key coordinate transformation into the control design and constructing a specific compact set on the initial values of system states, the desired trajectory and parameter estimates, it is rigorously proved that all closed-loop signals are semiglobally bounded, the fuzzy approximation is valid, the full-state constraints are not violated without feasibility conditions on virtual controllers, and asymptotic tracking is achieved. The effectiveness and advantages of this control scheme are confirmed by two examples including a single-link robotic system.

In this article, the problem of event‐triggered adaptive asymptotic tracking control (ATC) for stochastic nonlinear systems with unknown control directions (UCDs) and full state constraints is concerned. It must be said that the controller design and system analysis is more complex and difficult since the existence of stochastic disturbances, UCDs and full state constraints simultaneously. By introducing the lower bound of the UCDs into the barrier Lyapunov functions, an event‐triggered adaptive MTN ATC scheme is proposed based on the boundary estimation method and a new event‐triggered control (ETC) strategy, which can achieve satisfactory asymptotic tracking performance and control performance of the system, while reduce the occupation of network resources. The simulation results not only verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme, but also present different tracking performances between three ETC strategies for comparison, further confirming the superiority of the proposed ETC strategy in achieving asymptotic tracking performance.

Decentralized adaptive neural control of nonlinear interconnected large-scale systems with unknown time delays and input saturation

This paper investigates the adaptive neural network (NN) tracking control problem for stochastic nonlinear systems with multiple actuator constraints and full-state constraints. The issue of system full-state constraints is tackled by a generalized barrier Lyapunov function (GBLF), and the output constraints of the system are considered to be in the form of time-varying functions, which are more in line with the needs of real physical systems. The NN approximation technique is utilized to overcome the influence of the uncertainty term on controller design due to randomness. Based on the backstepping technique, a neural adaptive fixed-time tracking control strategy is designed. Under the designed control strategy, the tracking accuracy of the controlled system can reach the expectation in a fixed time. The multi-actuator constraints are converted into a generalized mathematical model to simplify the controller design process. Using the characteristics of the hyperbolic tangent function, a new function called practical virtual control signal is designed using the virtual control signal as the input. Due to the saturation constraint property of the hyperbolic tangent function, it is theoretically ensured that no state of the system exceeds the constraints through to the new form of the virtual controller. Using the adaptive controller constructed in this paper, the controlled system is semi-global fixed-time stabilized in probability (SGFSP). Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is further verified by simulation examples.

SummaryThis paper studies the problem of adaptive fuzzy asymptotic tracking control for multiple input multiple output nonlinear systems in nonstrict‐feedback form. Full state constraints, input quantization, and unknown control direction are simultaneously considered in the systems. By using the fuzzy logic systems, the unknown nonlinear functions are identified. A modified partition of variables is introduced to handle the difficulty caused by nonstrict‐feedback structure. In each step of the backstepping design, the symmetric barrier Lyapunov functions are designed to avoid the breach of the state constraints, and the issues of overparametrization and unknown control direction are settled via introducing two compensation functions and the property of Nussbaum function, respectively. Furthermore, an adaptive fuzzy asymptotic tracking control strategy is raised. Based on Lyapunov stability analysis, the developed control strategy can effectually ensure that all the system variables are bounded, and the tracking errors asymptotically converge to zero. Eventually, simulation results are supplied to verify the feasibility of the proposed scheme.

This paper proposes an adaptive fuzzy logic tracking control for unknown nonlinear systems having input time delay. In the controller design, a filtered tracking error to facilitate handling of the time delay and fuzzy approximation of nonlinear function are introduced. Lyapunov stability analysis shows that the designed tracking control yields bounded signals of the closed-loop system. Two simulation examples are provided to prove the effectiveness of the proposed controller in achieving tracking with bounded control signals.

In this article, the adaptive event-triggered fault-tolerant control (FTC) issue of uncertain nonlinear systems suffering from sensor and actuator faults as well as external disturbances is studied. A disturbance observer (DO) is constructed to compensate for external disturbances and approximation errors generated by neural networks (NNs). Then, switching event-triggered control and command filtering techniques are introduced to balance the communication frequency and tracking performance of the controlled systems while avoiding “explosion of complexity” issue caused by iterative derivations of virtual controllers. Furthermore, compensation signals are designed to eliminate filtered errors. Finally, it is proven that the developed FTC scheme can esure that all signals are bounded and free from Zeno phenomenon. Simulation results of a spring damping mechanical system verifies the merits of the designed control algorithm.
