Adaptive neural network prescribed performance control for dual switching nonlinear time-delay system

Abstract

This paper investigates the adaptive neural network prescribed performance control problem for a class of dual switching nonlinear systems with time-delay. By using the approximation of neural networks (NNs), an adaptive controller is designed to achieve tracking performance. Another research point of this paper is tracking performance constraints which can solve the performance degradation in practical systems. Therefore, an adaptive NNs output feedback tracking scheme is studied by combining the prescribed performance control (PPC) and backstepping method. With the designed controller and the switching rule, all signals of the closed-loop system are bounded, and the tracking performance satisfies the prescribed performance.
