Dynamic Event-Triggered Adaptive NN Control for Switched Uncertain Nonlinear Systems.

Abstract

This article is concerned with the problem of dynamic event-triggered adaptive neural network (NN) control for a class of switched strict-feedback uncertainty nonlinear systems. A novel switched command filter-based dynamic event-triggered adaptive NN control approach is set up by exploiting the backstepping and command filter and the common Lyapunov function method. Since adaptive controllers of subsystems are event triggered, then if the switching happens between any two consecutive triggering instants, asynchronous switching will arise between candidate controllers of subsystems and subsystems. Unlike the existing literature, where maximum asynchronous time is restricted, without any strict limitations on maximum asynchronous time being needed in this article, the asynchronous switching problem is directly handled by proposing a novel switching dynamic event-triggered mechanism (DETM) and event-triggered adaptive controllers of subsystems. Moreover, a piecewise constant variable is introduced into the switching DETM, which overcomes the difficulty of switched measurement error being discontinuous. Also, a strictly positive lower bound of interevent times is obtained. Finally, a continuous stirred tank reactor system and a numerical example are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed approach.
