Fully distributed adaptive event-triggered bipartite containment control of linear multiagent systems with actuator faults

This paper studies a new type of fully distributed double event-triggered bipartite containment (DETBC) problem for linear multiagent systems (MASs). Meanwhile, multiple leaders with non-zero inputs and time-varying multiplicative and additive actuator faults (TMAAFs) are considered. First, in contrast to traditional event-triggered mechanisms (ETMs), the proposed novel double ETMs can guarantee that information transfer between agents and controller updates proceeds asynchronously. Some adaptive parameters are introduced in the trigger functions to enhance the dynamic adjustment ability of double ETMs. The trigger threshold depends on the relative state-dependent, which is independent of continuous information from neighbors. Then, a fault-tolerant DETBC protocol is designed to solve actuator fault problems. Moreover, compared with other relevant works, our control protocol is fully distributed, which avoids reliance on global information. Finally, a simulation experiment is conducted to validate the feasibility of the designed protocol.

Event-Triggered Adaptive Containment Control for Heterogeneous Stochastic Nonlinear Multiagent Systems.

This article investigates the event-triggered adaptive containment control problem for a class of stochastic nonlinear multiagent systems with unmeasurable states. A stochastic system with unknown heterogeneous dynamics is established to describe the agents in a random vibration environment. Besides, the uncertain nonlinear dynamics are approximated by radial basis function neural networks (NNs), and the unmeasured states are estimated by constructing the NN-based observer. In addition, the switching-threshold-based event-triggered control method is adopted with the hope of reducing communication consumption and balancing system performance and network constraints. Moreover, we develop the novel distributed containment controller by utilizing the adaptive backstepping control strategy and the dynamic surface control (DSC) approach such that the output of each follower converges to the convex hull spanned by multiple leaders, and all signals of the closed-loop system are cooperatively semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded in mean square. Finally, we verify the efficiency of the proposed controller by the simulation examples.

Event-Triggered Adaptive Neural Network Tracking Control for Uncertain Systems With Unknown Input Saturation Based on Command Filters.

This brief presents a modified event-triggered command filter backstepping tracking control scheme for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with unknown input saturation based on the adaptive neural network (NN) technique. First, the virtual control functions are reconstructed to address the uncertainties in subsystems by using command filters. A piecewise continuous function is employed to deal with the unknown input saturation problem. Next, an event-triggered tracking controller is developed by utilizing the adaptive NN technique. Compared with standard NN control schemes based on multiple-function-approximators, our controller only requires a single NN. The closed-loop system stability is analyzed based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, and it is shown that the Zeno behavior is also avoided under the designed event-triggering mechanism. Simulation studies are performed to validate the effectiveness of our controller.

Decentralized Output-Feedback Adaptive Event-Triggered Control for Interconnected Nonlinear Delay Systems with Actuator Failures

This paper investigates decentralized adaptive event-triggered fault-tolerant control for interconnected nonlinear delay systems with actuator failures. The actuator failures suffered include loss of effectiveness and bias faults. A control scheme based on the K-filter is proposed, which effectively compensates for the effects of unknown actuator failures. A hyperbolic tangent function and neural network are introduced to approximate the unknown interconnection function and nonlinear delay function. By introducing the dynamic surface control method, the “explosion of complexity” issue is addressed. Furthermore, our proposed controller can ensure that all states of the corresponding closed-loop system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded and that the tracking error can converge to a small neighborhood of zero. Meanwhile, Zeno behavior can be effectively avoided. Finally, the validity of the proposed control scheme is verified using a simulation example.

Guaranteed Performance Event-Triggered Adaptive Consensus Control for Multiagent Systems under Time-Varying Actuator Faults

A guaranteed performance event-triggered adaptive consensus control is established for uncertain multiagent systems under time-varying actuator faults. To eliminate the impact caused by actuator faults, an adaptive neural network compensation strategy is developed. Simultaneously, by implementing the asymmetric barrier Lyapunov function and transform function, a prescribed time consensus control with guaranteed performance, is constructed. Furthermore, to reduce the frequency of information transmission, an adjustable switching event-triggered control (ASETC) is proposed by using a modified hyperbolic tangent function. It combines the advantage of the relative threshold strategies and the characteristics of the hyperbolic tangent function, giving better flexibility in saving network resources and guaranteeing system performance. By applying the constructed control method, systems with prescribed performance consensus in a prescribed time are achievable while limited network resources and unknown time-varying faults are present. Some simulation examples implemented in MATLAB (R2022a) are given to demonstrate the above results.

Fixed-Time Adaptive Event-Triggered Guaranteed Performance Tracking Control of Nonholonomic Mobile Robots under Asymmetric State Constraints

A fixed-time adaptive guaranteed performance tracking control is investigated for a category of nonholonomic mobile robots (NMRs) under asymmetric state constraints. For the sake of favorable transient and steady-state properties of the system, a prescribed performance function (PPF) is introduced and a transform function is further constructed. Based on the backstepping technique, an asymmetric barrier Lyapunov function is formulated to ensure the tracking errors converge within a human-specified time. On the foundation of this, the occupation of communication channel is effectively reduced by assigning an event-triggered mechanism (ETM) with relative threshold to the process of controller design. By utilizing the proposed control strategy, the NMR is capable of implementing the enemy dislodging mission while the enemy can always be caught by the NMR and the collision would never be presented. Finally, two simulation experiments are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Event-Triggered Output-Feedback Adaptive Control of Interconnected Nonlinear Systems: A Cyclic-Small-Gain Approach.

This article proposes a novel output-feedback event-triggered control protocol for a class of interconnected parametric nonlinear systems. Different from most existing works where event-triggering mechanisms are considered for only the controller-to-actuator channel or the sensor-to-controller channel, this work adopts event-triggering mechanisms for both channels as well as adaptive laws. An adaptive states observer is designed to estimate the unavailable system state and then a novel adaptive event-triggered controller is proposed based on the celebrated backstepping technique. By utilizing the cyclic small-gain theorem and Lyapunov theory, it is shown that the proposed control scheme ensures that all the closed-loop signals are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB), and the Zeno behavior is successfully excluded. Finally, a practical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed approach.

Global adaptive event-triggered output feedback control for p-normal feedforward nonlinear systems with uncertain output function

This paper concentrates on the global adaptive event-triggered output feedback controller design for a class of p-normal feedforward nonlinear systems with uncertain output function. Due to the existence of unknown growth rate and uncertain output function, the considered uncertain nonlinear systems contain more uncertainties. To overcome this difficulty, a dynamic gain technique is introduced and an elaborate adaptive law of the gain is designed. Then, a completely time-varying event-based strategy is presented, which can effectively eliminate the effects caused by event-triggered errors. Since the presented event-triggered controller is not differentiable, a new analysis manner is developed to prove that the system is Zeno-free. Meanwhile, the closed-loop system(CLS) states are asymptotically convergent with the proposed strategy. Finally, a simulation example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Adaptive event-triggered tracking control for nonlinear systems with prescribed performance: A time-domain mapping approach

This paper proposed an event-triggered adaptive fuzzy prescribed time control strategy for a class of nonlinear systems with uncertain external disturbances and unknown virtual control coefficients under prescribed performance. A novel time-domain mapping technique is proposed to transform the prescribed time tracking control problem into an asymptotic convergence problem. An observer is designed to estimate for the external disturbance and fuzzy approximation error of fuzzy logic systems (FLSs). The problem of “explosion of complexity” is addressed by applying dynamic surface control (DSC) technique to backstepping. An adaptive fuzzy event-triggered strategy is designed using the Lyapunov stability theorem. This strategy ensures that, after time-domain mapping, the tracking error asymptotically converges to zero. Additionally, there is no Zeno behavior and all system signals are bounded. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified through three simulation examples.

Event-Triggered Adaptive Neural Network Control for State-Constrained Pure-Feedback Fractional-Order Nonlinear Systems with Input Delay and Saturation

In this research, the adaptive event-triggered neural network controller design problem is investigated for a class of state-constrained pure-feedback fractional-order nonlinear systems (FONSs) with external disturbances, unknown actuator saturation, and input delay. An auxiliary compensation function based on the integral function of the input signal is presented to handle input delay. The barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) is utilized to deal with state constraints, and the event-triggered strategy is applied to overcome the communication burden from the limited communication resources. By the utilization of a backstepping scheme and radial basis function neural network, an adaptive event-triggered neural state-feedback stabilization controller is constructed, in which the fractional-order dynamic surface filters are employed to reduce the computational burden from the recursive procedure. It is proven that with the fractional-order Lyapunov analysis, all the solutions of the closed-loop system are bounded, and the tracking error can converge to a small interval around the zero, while the state constraint is satisfied and the Zeno behavior can be strictly ruled out. Two examples are finally given to show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Finite-Time Adaptive Event-Triggered Control for Full States Constrained FONSs with Uncertain Parameters and Disturbances

This article focuses the event-triggered adaptive finite-time control scheme for the states constrained fractional-order nonlinear systems (FONSs) under uncertain parameters and external disturbances. The backstepping scheme is employed to construct the finite-time controller via a series of barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) to solve that all the state constraints are not violated. Different from the trigger condition with fixed value, the event-triggered strategy is applied to overcome the communication burden of controller caused by the limited communication resources. By utilizing fractional-order Lyapunov analysis, all variables in the resulted system are proven to be bounded, and the tracking error converges to the small neighborhood around origin in finite time and without the Zeno behavior. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified by the simulation analysis of a bus power system.

Adaptive output-feedback control for switched nonlinear systems with measurement sensitivity based on double-side event-triggering mechanisms

This article concentrates on the problem of adaptive event-triggered control with double-side event-triggering mechanisms for a family of switched nonlinear systems with measurement sensitivity. In order to circumvent the negative effect of intermittent transmission and sensor measurement sensitivity on the output, an extended system is constructed by introducing a first-order output filter. Then, an input-driven neural switched observer is designed to estimate unmeasurable system states. To deal with the mutual interaction between the triggering and the switching mechanisms and their negative effect on the positive lower bound of inter-execution intervals, an incremental compensation is incorporated in the event-triggering mechanism (ETM) at the output sensor side. At last, a novel event-triggered control scheme built on both sides of the controller and output is proposed, which exhibits superior efficacy compared to the one-side event-triggered control scheme. By using the methods of the average dwell time (ADT) and the backstepping design, it is guaranteed that all signals of the switched closed-loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB), and the Zeno phenomenon is excluded. The efficacy of the proposed methodology is validated by using a numerical simulation and a one-link robot system.

Co-design of adaptive event-triggered mechanism and controller for networked control systems with uncertainty and time-varying delay

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the co-design problem of event-triggered mechanisms and state feedback controllers for networked control systems with parameter uncertainty and network-induced delay. Firstly, to overcome the network bandwidth limitation, an adaptive event-triggered mechanism is used to filter the required sampling signals to reduce the network resource occupancy. Second, establish a unified model subject to event triggering mechanisms, parameter uncertainty, and network delay constraints, and derive the stability conditions of the system for the model by combining Lyapunov stability theory and the linear matrix inequality method. Then, the state feedback controller is designed to satisfy the event-triggering condition and certain robust performance requirements, and an optimisation method is proposed to compromise network resource consumption and control performance. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a numerical example.

Secure adaptive event-triggered anti-synchronization for BAM neural networks with energy-limited DoS attacks

This article focuses on the problem of adaptive event-triggered anti-synchronization control for bidirectional associative memory neural networks subject to energy-limited denial of service attacks. First, a novel adaptive event-triggered scheme is developed by resorting to the acknowledgment character technique, which can help conserve valuable communication resources and has better performance in resisting malicious cyber attacks compared to traditional schemes. Second, a more general attack strategy for denial of service attacks is proposed with the consideration of energy constraints, and an anti-synchronization error system is established to analyze the anti-synchronization behavior. Then, sufficient conditions are provided to guarantee the anti-synchronization of drive and response bidirectional associative memory neural networks in H∞ sense. Next, a design approach is obtained based on the above conditions for the controller gains. Finally, a numerical example is employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and its superiority over the traditional event-triggered scheme.
