Adaptive state feedback control for switched stochastic high‐order nonlinear systems under arbitrary switchings

This paper studies the adaptive state feedback control for a class of switched time‐varying stochastic high‐order nonlinear systems under arbitrary switchings. Based on the common Lyapunov function and using the inductive method, virtual controllers are designed step by step and the form of the input signal of the system is constructed at the last. The unknown parameters are addressed by the tuning function method. In particular, both the designed state feedback controller and the adaptive law are independent of switching signals. Based on the designed controller, the boundness of the state variables can be guaranteed in probability. Furthermore, without considering the Wiener process or with the known parameter in the assumption, adaptive finite‐time stabilization and finite‐time stabilization in probability can be obtained, respectively. Finally, numerical simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Prescribed performance adaptive neural tracking control for strict-feedback Markovian jump nonlinear systems with time-varying delay

A prescribed performance adaptive neural tracking control problem is investigated for strict-feedback Markovian jump nonlinear systems with time-varying delay. First, a new prescribed performance constraint variable is proposed to generate the virtual control that forces the tracking error to fall within prescribed boundaries. Combining with the approximation capability of neural networks and backstepping design, the adaptive tracking controller is designed. The designed controller is independent on time delay by constructing appropriate Lyapunov functions to offset the unknown time-varying delays. It is proved that the closed-loop system is uniformly ultimately bounded in probability, and that both steady-state and transient-state performances are guaranteed. Finally, simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Event-triggered adaptive tracking control for nonlinear systems with input saturation and unknown control directions

This article is concerned with event-triggered adaptive tracking control design of strict-feedback nonlinear systems, which are subject to input saturation and unknown control directions. In the design procedure, a smooth nonlinear function is employed to approximate the saturation function so that the controller can be designed under the framework of backstepping. The Nussbaum gain technique is employed to address the issue of the unknown control directions. A predetermined time convergent performance function and a nonlinear mapping technique are introduced to guarantee that the tracking error can converge in the predetermined time with a fast convergence rate and a high accuracy. Then the event-triggered adaptive prescribed performance tracking control strategy is proposed, which not only ensures the boundedness of all the closed-loop signals and the convergence of tracking error but also reduces the communication burden from the controller to the actuator. At last, the simulation study further tests the availability of the proposed control strategy.     

Prescribed performance adaptive neural output control for a class of switched nonstrict‐feedback nonlinear time‐delay systems: State‐dependent switching law approach

This paper investigates the tracking problem for a class of uncertain switched nonlinear delayed systems with nonstrict‐feedback form. To address this problem, by introducing a new common Lyapunov function (CLF), an adaptive neural network dynamic surface control is proposed. The state‐dependent switching rule is designed to orchestrate which subsystem is active at each time instance. In order to compensate unknown delay terms, an appropriate Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional is considered in the constructing of the CLF. In addition, a novel switched neural network–based observer is constructed to estimate system states through the output signal. To maintain the tracking error performance within a predefined bound, a prescribed performance bound approach is employed. It is proved that by the proposed output‐feedback control, all the signals of the closed‐loop system are bounded under the switching law. Moreover, the transient and steady‐state tracking performance is guaranteed by the prescribed performance bound. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by two numerical and practical examples.

In this study, a prescribed performance adaptive fault tolerant tracking control scheme is presented for a class of nonlinear large-scale systems with time delay interconnection, dead zone input, and actuator fault. The radial basis function neural networks are used to approximate unknown nonlinear functions. Different from the barrier Lyapunov functions used to achieve the symmetrical prescribed performance, a new error transformation is introduced in this study to achieve the desired asymmetrical prescribed performance. In addition, Nussbaum function is introduced to solve the difficulties caused by dead zone input and actuator fault. Based on the appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functions, the effect of time delay interconnection could be compensated. By using backstepping procedures, an adaptive fault tolerant tracking control approach is developed for the considered large-scale systems, and the stability of the closed-loop systems is analyzed by Lyapunov theory. Meanwhile, the prescribed performance of the tracking error could be guaranteed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control approach is illustrated by two simulation examples.

Furthermore, the tracking error can converge to a bounded compact set. Two examples, which include a single-link robot as a practical example, are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

Adaptive fuzzy backstepping control for a class of switched nonlinear systems with actuator faults

This paper investigates the problem of fault-tolerant control (FTC) for a class of switched nonlinear systems. These systems are under arbitrary switchings and are subject to both lock-in-place and loss-of-effectiveness actuator faults. In the control design, fuzzy logic systems are used to identify the unknown switched nonlinear systems. Under the framework of the backstepping control design, FTC, fuzzy adaptive control and common Lyapunov function stability theory, an adaptive fuzzy control approach is developed. It is proved that the proposed control approach can guarantee that all the signals in the closed-loop switched system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB) and the tracking error remains an adjustable neighbourhood of the origin. Two simulation examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Robust fault-tolerant prescribed performance tracking for uncertain switched pure-feedback nonlinear systems under arbitrary switching

This paper presents a model-free prescribed performance design methodology for the robust fault-tolerant tracking (RFTT) of uncertain switched pure-feedback nonlinear systems under arbitrary switching. Unexpected faults in switched non-affine nonlinearities and in an actuator are considered. Using the prescribed performance design and the common Lyapunov function method, a common RFTT scheme is proposed to ensure that the tracking error remains within preassigned performance bounds and finally converges to a preselected neighbourhood of the origin, regardless of arbitrary switching and unexpected faults. Contrary to existing results in the literature, the proposed methodology does not require fault compensation mechanisms such as adaptive techniques and function approximators using neural networks or fuzzy systems. Thus, the structure of the proposed RFTT scheme is simpler than that of the existing control schemes. Moreover, the proposed approach can predesign the transient performance bounds at the instants when switching and faults occur. Finally, the simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical approach.

Second, the hybrid threshold strategy is constructed to provide a reasonable way in balancing system performance and communication constraints. By the use of dynamic surface control technique and neural network approximate technique, a smooth pre‐constrained tracking controller with adaptive laws is designed for the interconnected nonlinear stochastic systems. Moreover, based on the Lyapunov stability theory, it is proved that all state variables are successfully pre‐constrained within asymmetric boundaries. Finally, a simulation example is presented to verify the effectiveness of proposed control algorithm.     

Adaptive prescribed performance tracking control for strict‐feedback nonlinear systems with zero dynamics

This paper focuses on the adaptive tracking control problem for strict‐feedback nonlinear systems with zero dynamics via prescribed performance. Based on polynomial fitting, an adjustable performance function is firstly proposed, whose parameters can be adjusted in real time according to the tracking error. Furthermore, an adaptive prescribed performance tracking controller is constructed via the backstepping method, which guarantees that all the states in the closed‐loop system are bounded. Meanwhile, the output tracking error falls within an adjustable performance boundary and asymptotically converges to zero. Simulation comparison demonstrates the advantages of the developed controller as follows: (1) the parameters of the adjustable performance function are adjusted online according to the tracking errors for a faster convergent performance boundary; (2) the steady‐state performance of the system is further optimized simultaneously.

This paper proposes an adaptive event trigger-based sample-and-hold tracking control scheme for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear stochastic systems with full-state constraints. By introducing a tan-type stochastic Barrier Lyapunov function (SBLF) combined with radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs), which is used to approximate the nonlinear functions in backstepping procedures, an adaptive event-triggered controller is designed. It is shown with stochastic stability theory that all the states cannot violate their constraints, and Zeno behavior is excluded almost surely. Meanwhile, all the signals of the closed-loop systems are bounded almost surely and the tracking error converges to an arbitrary small compact set in the fourth-moment sense. A simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the control scheme.
