Abstract
In this research, the issue of decentralised adaptive neural finite-time prescribed performance control is discussed for nonstrict-feedback large-scale nonlinear interconnected systems subject to dead zones input and unknown control direction. The obstacle of ‘explosion of complex’ occurred in conventional backstepping design can be surmounted by adopting the command filter technique and nonlinearities are approximated by introducing an adaptive neural control approach. To handle the obstacles due to unknown directions and unknown interconnections, Nussbaum-type functions and two smooth functions are used and designed. Meanwhile, error compensation signals are introduced to deal with the problem associated with the dynamic surface method. To constraint the output tracking error within a predefined boundary in finite time, an improved performance function, i.e. finite-time performance function is introduced. Different from existing control results, the developed control methodology does not require any information on the boundedness of dead-zone parameters. It is further proved that the constructed controller not only assures the semi-global boundedness of all the controlled system signals, but also makes the output tracking errors reach within a predefined small set. Finally, both numerical and practical examples are supplied to further validate the effectiveness of the presented theoretic result.
