Abstract
In this article, a novel adaptive control method based on neural networks is proposed for a class of multiagent systems (MASs) with nonlinear functions and external disturbances. First, the approximation properties of neural networks are used to approximate the MAS partial differential equation (PDE) model with nonlinear terms containing two variables, time t, and spatial variable x. Second, an adaptive controller is constructed to actuate the parabolic MAS to reach consensus under external disturbances. Based on this, the finite-time theorem and special inequalities are applied to prove the stability of the closed-loop system. Thus, MAS that have nonlinear functions and external disturbances are enabled with finite-time consensus. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control method is demonstrated by numerical simulations.
