Predefined Accuracy Adaptive Tracking Control for Nonlinear Multiagent Systems With Unmodeled Dynamics.

Abstract

This article focuses on an adaptive dynamic surface tracking control issue of nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) with unmodeled dynamics and input quantization under predefined accuracy. Radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) are employed to estimate unknown nonlinear items. A dynamic signal is established to handle the trouble introduced by the unmodeled dynamics. Moreover, the predefined precision control is realized with the aid of two key functions. Unlike the existing works on nonlinear MASs with unmodeled dynamics, to avoid the issue of "explosion of complexity," the dynamic surface control (DSC) method is applied with the nonlinear filter. By using the designed controller, the consensus errors can gather to a precision assigned a priori. Finally, the simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
