Adaptive Consensus Quantized Control for a Class of High-Order Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems With Input Hysteresis and Full State Constraints

Abstract

For a class of high-order nonlinear multi-agent systems with input hysteresis, an adaptive consensus output-feedback quantized control scheme with full state constraints is investigated. The major properties of the proposed control scheme are: 1) According to the different hysteresis input characteristics of each agent in the multi-agent system, a hysteresis quantization inverse compensator is designed to eliminate the influence of hysteresis characteristics on the system while ensuring that the quantized signal maintains the desired value. 2) A barrier Lyapunov function is introduced for the first time in the hysteretic multi-agent system. By constructing state constraint control strategy for the hysteretic multi-agent system, it ensures that all the states of the system are always maintained within a predetermined range. 3) The designed adaptive consensus output-feedback quantization control scheme allows the hysteretic system to have unknown parameters and unknown disturbance, and ensures that the input signal transmitted between agents is the quantization value, and the introduced quantizer is implemented under the condition that only its sector bound property is required. The stability analysis has proved that all signals of the closed-loop are semi-globally uniformly bounded. The StarSim hardware-in-the-loop simulation certificates the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive quantized control scheme.
