Adaptive finite-time consensus tracking control for nonlinear multiagent systems in nonstrict feedback form with full-state constraints

In this article, the fuzzy adaptive finite-time consensus tracking control problem for nonstrict feedback nonlinear multiagent systems with full-state constraints is studied. The finite-time control based on command filtered backstepping is proposed to guarantee the finite-time convergence and eliminate the explosion of complexity problem caused by backstepping process, and the errors in the filtering process are compensated by using error compensation mechanism. Furthermore, based on the fuzzy logic systems, the uncertain nonlinear dynamics are approximated and the problem of state variables in nonstrict feedback form is solved by using the property of basis functions. The barrier Lyapunov functions are introduced to guarantee that all system states and compensated tracking error signals are constrained in the designed regions. A simulation example is given to verify the superiority of the proposed algorithm.     

Observer‐based adaptive control for stochastic nonstrict‐feedback systems with unknown backlash‐like hysteresis

This paper studies an observer‐based adaptive fuzzy control problem for stochastic nonlinear systems in nonstrict‐feedback form. The unknown backlash‐like hysteresis is considered in the systems. In the design process, the unknown nonlinearities and unavailable state variables are tackled by introducing the fuzzy logic systems and constructing a fuzzy observer, respectively. By using adaptive backstepping technique with dynamic surface control technique, an adaptive fuzzy control algorithm is developed. For the closed‐loop system, the proposed controller can guarantee all the signals are 4‐moment semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded. Finally, simulation results further show the effectiveness of the presented control scheme.     

Integral barrier Lyapunov function-based adaptive fuzzy output feedback control for nonlinear delayed systems with time-varying full-state constraints

In this article, an adaptive fuzzy output feedback control method is presented for nonlinear time-delay systems with time-varying full state constraints and input saturation. To overcome the problem of time-varying constraints, the integral barrier Lyapunov functions (IBLFs) integrating with dynamic surface control (DSC) are applied for the first time to keep the state from violating constraints. The effects of unknown time delays can be removed by using designed Lyapunov-Krasovskii functions (LKFs). An auxiliary design system is introduced to solve the problem of input saturation. The unknown nonlinear functions are approximated by the fuzzy logic systems (FLS), and the unmeasured states are estimated by a designed fuzzy observer. The novel controller can guarantee that all signals remain semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded and satisfactory tracking performance is achieved. Finally, two simulation examples illustrate the effectiveness of the presented control methods.     

Adaptive fuzzy finite-time fault-tolerant control of nonlinear systems with state constraints and input quantization

This article concentrates on an adaptive finite-time fault-tolerant fuzzy tracking control problem for nonstrict feedback nonlinear systems with input quantization and full-state constraints. By utilizing the fuzzy logic systems and less adjustable parameters method, the unknown nonlinear functions are addressed in each step process. In addition, a dynamic surface control technique combined with fuzzy control is introduced to tackle the variable separation problem. The problem for the effect of quantization and unlimited number of actuator faults is tackled by a damping term with smooth function in the intermediate control law. Finite-time stability is achieved by combining barrier Lyapunov functions and backstepping method. The finite-time controller is designed such that all the responses of the systems are semiglobal practical finite-time stable and ensured to remain in the predefined compact sets while tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of the origin in finite time. Finally, simulation examples are utilized to testify the validity of the investigated strategy.     

Finite‐time prescribed performance adaptive fuzzy fault‐tolerant control for nonstrict‐feedback nonlinear systems

This paper focuses on a finite‐time adaptive fuzzy control problem for nonstrict‐feedback nonlinear systems with actuator faults and prescribed performance. Compared with existing results, the finite‐time prescribed performance adaptive fuzzy output feedback control is under study for the first time. By designing performance function, the transient performance of the corresponding controlled variable is maintained in a prescribed area. Combining the finite‐time stability criterion with backstepping technique, a feasible adaptive fault‐tolerant control scheme is proposed to guarantee that the system output converges to a small neighborhood of the origin in finite time, and the closed‐loop signals are bounded. Finally, simulation results are shown to illustrate the effectiveness of the presented control method.

Moreover, the system states are constrained in corresponding compact. By using Barrier Lypunov function method and backstepping technique, the adaptive fuzzy controller is designed such that all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded, the system output can track the desired signal to small compact, and all the system states satisfy the constraint conditions.

Adaptive backstepping neural control of state‐delayed nonlinear systems with full‐state constraints and unmodeled dynamics

In this paper, the problem of adaptive neural control is discussed for a class of strict‐feedback time‐varying delays nonlinear systems with full‐state constraints and unmodeled dynamics, as well as distributed time‐varying delays. The considered nonlinear system with full‐state constraints is transformed into a nonlinear system without state constraints by introducing a one‐to‐one asymmetric nonlinear mapping. Based on modified backstepping design and using radial basis function neural networks to approximate the unknown smooth nonlinear function and using a dynamic signal to handle dynamic uncertainties, a novel adaptive backstepping control is developed for the transformed system without state constraints. The uncertain terms produced by state time delays and distributed time delays are compensated for by constructing appropriate Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functionals. All signals in the closed‐loop system are proved to be semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design scheme.     

Adaptive neural tracking control for high angle of attack maneuver with average dwell time

This article attempts to study the high angle of attack maneuver from the perspective of switched system control. In view of the complex aerodynamic characteristics, an improved longitudinal attitude motion model is presented, which is a switched stochastic nonstrict feedback nonlinear system with distributed delays. The significant design difficulty is the completely unknown diffusion and drift terms and distributed delays with all state variables. Based on a technical lemma and neural networks, an improved smooth state feedback control law for nonstrict feedback systems is proposed without any growth assumptions. To eliminate the influence of distributed delays, an improved Lyapunov–Krasovskii function is constructed, which skillfully removes the constraint of the upper bound of the delay change rate. Then, by combining the average dwell-time scheme and stochastic backstepping technique, an adaptive neural network tracking control law is designed, which extends a newly proposed switched system stability condition to the stochastic switched system. Theoretical analysis and flight control simulation experiments are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Robust Stability of Networked Load Frequency Control Systems with Time-Varying Delays

In deregulated power system scenario coupled with smart grid technology, for networked load frequency control (LFC), an open communication structure, owing to low cost and flexibility, is preferred over dedicated networks in the feedback control loop for transmitting/receiving the data between the geographically displaced power system and the control center. In such a control scheme, closing the feedback loop through an open communication channel, in turn, introduces two additive time-varying delays of dissimilar characteristics in the feedback path. These delays degrade the performance of the closed-loop system, and exert a destabilizing effect on the overall system. In this paper, using Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, a less conservative stability criterion is presented to ascertain delay-dependent stability of such network-controlled LFC systems with two additive time-varying delays in the feedback path in the presence of uncertain load disturbance conditions. Unlike the existing results, which are derived by combining these two delays into one, the proposed result considers the two delays as separate entities thereby imparting more generalization into the stability analysis. The effect of unknown exogenous load disturbance is incorporated by mathematically modeling them as a bounded non-linear time-varying function of current and delayed state vectors.

Adaptive fuzzy output‐feedback tracking control for switched stochastic pure‐feedback nonlinear systems

This paper considers the problem of adaptive fuzzy output‐feedback tracking control for a class of switched stochastic nonlinear systems in pure‐feedback form. Unknown nonlinear functions and unmeasurable states are taken into account. Fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, and a fuzzy observer is designed to estimate the immeasurable states. Based on these methods, an adaptive fuzzy output‐feedback control scheme is developed by combining the backstepping recursive design technique and the common Lyapunov function approach. It is shown that all the signals in the closed‐loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded in mean square in the sense of probability, and the observer errors and tracking errors can be regulated to a small neighborhood of the origin by choosing appropriate parameters. Finally, a simulation result is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Adaptive cross backstepping control for a class of nonstrict feedback nonlinear systems with partial state constraints

The tracking control problem for a class of partial state constrained nonlinear system is studied in this article. The system is divided into two semistrict feedback nonlinear subsystems, one is state constrained and the other is state free. By means of state transformation, the state constraint problem is transformed into the bounded problem of the transformed function. Compared with the barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) method, it not only solves the state constraint problem but also circumvents the feasibility check on virtual controllers. Based on the cross backstepping control, the constrained controller and unconstrained controller are designed simultaneously. It solves the coupling problem effectively in the design of cross processing control. On the other hand, dynamic surface control is used which effectively avoids “computation explosion” caused by backstepping control. The designed controllers can ensure the error signals converge to a small neighbourhood of zero and keep the asymmetric time-varying constraints on system partial states are satisfied for all the time. Finally, simulation experiments are carried out on a hyperchaotic Rössler system to verify the efficacy of the control scheme.

Adaptive neural prescribed performance output feedback control of pure feedback nonlinear systems using disturbance observer

In this study, an adaptive output feedback control with prescribed performance is proposed for unknown pure feedback nonlinear systems with external disturbances and unmeasured states. A novel prescribed performance function is developed and incorporated into an output error transformation to achieve tracking control with prescribed performance. To handle the unknown non-affine nonlinearities and avoid the algebraic loop problem, the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is adopted to approximate the unknown non-affine nonlinearities with the help of Butterworth low-pass filter. Based on the output of the RBFNN, the coupled design between sate observer and disturbance observer is presented to estimate the unmeasured states and compounded disturbances. Then, the adaptive output feedback control scheme is proposed for unknown pure feedback nonlinear systems, where a first-order filter is introduced to tackle with the issue of “explosion of complexity” in the traditional back-stepping approach. The boundedness and convergence of the closed-loop system are proved rigorously by utilizing the Lyapunov stability theorem. Finally, simulation studies are worked out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Indirect adaptive fuzzy control for input and output constrained nonlinear systems using a barrier Lyapunov function

In this paper, a novel indirect adaptive fuzzy controller is proposed for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with input and output constrains. To address output and input constraints, a barrier Lyapunov function and an auxiliary design system are employed, respectively. The proposed approach is explored by employing fuzzy logic systems to tackle unknown nonlinear functions and combining the adaptive backstepping technique with adaptive fuzzy control design. Especially, the number of the online learning parameters are reduced to 2n in the closed‐loop system. It is proved that the proposed control approach can guarantee that all the signals in the closed‐loop system are bounded, and the input and output constraints are circumvented simultaneously. A numerical example with comparisons is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
