Compound conditions event-triggered tracking control for nonlinear multiagent systems with nonlinear output faults

This article is devoted to investigating the compound conditions event-triggered prescribed performance tracking problem for strict-feedback nonlinear multiagent systems with nonlinear output faults and unknown disturbances. A simplified event-triggered sampling condition is designed to successfully reduce the number of state triggered design parameters. Besides, a compound conditions event-triggered mechanism is constructed, which integrates state triggered and controller triggered simultaneously to reduce communication burden. Furthermore, by using disturbance observers and prescribed performance functions, unknown external disturbances are compensated and the tracking errors can converge into the prescribed boundary, respectively. Moreover, all the signals of the closed-loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded. Finally, the availability of the proposed control strategy is testified via simulation results.
