A Multifilters Approach to Adaptive Event-Triggered Control of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems With Global Output Constraint.

Abstract

This article focuses on the problem of adaptive event-triggered output feedback control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems under the output constraint. Different from the existing works, the time-varying parameters and the global output constraint are taken into account. First, by means of multifilters, the unmeasurable state variables are reconstructed, under which the unknown time-varying parameters and sensor sensitivity are transformed into the estimation problem of unknown parameters. Second, based on a barrier function, a novel constraint algorithm is established to make the output enter into asymmetric time-varying constraint boundaries, which is independent of the initial value of the output. To avoid continuous sampling of the controller, an event-triggered mechanism is proposed without the Zeno phenomenon. By means of the Lyapunov stability theory, it is strictly proved that the output enters into the pregiven asymmetric constraint boundaries, and never exceeds. Finally, the validity of our proposed control algorithm is illustrated by a numerical simulation.
