Preassigned Time Adaptive Neural Tracking Control for Stochastic Nonlinear Multiagent Systems With Deferred Constraints

This article studies a preassigned time adaptive tracking control problem for stochastic multiagent systems (MASs) with deferred full state constraints and deferred prescribed performance. A modified nonlinear mapping is designed, which incorporates a class of shift functions, to eliminate the constraints on the initial value conditions. By virtue of this nonlinear mapping, the feasibility conditions of the full state constraints for stochastic MASs can also be circumvented. In addition, the Lyapunov function codesigned by the shift function and the fixed-time prescribed performance function is constructed. The unknown nonlinear terms of the converted systems are handled based on the approximation property of the neural networks. Furthermore, a preassigned time adaptive tracking controller is established, which can achieve deferred prescribed performance for stochastic MASs that provide only local information. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Observer-Based Dynamic Event-Triggered Control for Multiagent Systems With Time-Varying Delay

This article is concerned with the dynamic event-triggered-based adaptive output-feedback tracking control problem of nonlinear multiagent systems with time-varying input delay. By utilizing the approximation capability of neural network (NN), a low-gain nonlinear observer is first established to estimate the immeasurable states. To mitigate the effect of time-varying input delay, an auxiliary system with communication information is designed to generate the compensation signals. Then, a distributed adaptive composite NN dynamic surface control (DSC) strategy is proposed to acquire the satisfactory tracking accuracy, where the filter errors are compensated by the introduced serial-parallel estimation model. Moreover, an effective switching dynamic event-triggered mechanism is developed to determine the communication instants and reduce the update frequency of the controller. It is proven that the consensus tracking error converges to a residual set of the origin. Finally, simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed composite NN DSC scheme.
