Second, the detailed design of NNAGSBSMC is described. The sliding mode control（SMC） law is designed to track a referenced output via backstepping technique.To decrease chattering result from SMC, a radial basis function neural network（RBFNN） is employed to construct the NNAGSBSMC to facilitate adaptive gain scheduling, in which the gains are scheduled adaptively via neural network（NN）, with sliding surface and its differential as NN inputs and the gains as NN outputs. Finally, the verification example is given to show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach. Contrasting simulation results indicate that the NNAGS-BSMC decreases the chattering effectively and has better control performance against the BSMC.展开更多

The coexistence of mismatched uncertainties and non-vanishing disturbances makes PTC synthesis nontrivial. In this work, a control method that does not involve infinite time-varying gain is proposed, leading to a practical and global prescribed time tracking control solution for the strict-feedback systems, in spite of both the mismatched and nonvanishing uncertainties. Different from methods based on control switching to avoid the issue of infinite control gain that involves control discontinuity at the switching point, in our method a softening unit is exclusively included to ensure the continuity of the control action. Furthermore, in contrast to most existing prescribed-time control works where the control scheme is only valid on a finite time interval, in this work, the proposed control scheme is valid on the entire time interval. In addition, the prior information on the upper or lower bound of gi is not in need,enlarging the applicability of the proposed method. Both the theoretical analysis and numerical simulation confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.展开更多

Firstly, each follower node is modeled by an integrator incorporating with nonlinear dynamics. The leader node is modeled as an autonomous nonlinear system which sends its information to one or more followers. Then, a simple and novel distributed protocol is proposed based only on the state feedback, under which the states of the followers ultimately synchronize to the leader. By using Lyapunov stability theorem and matrix theory, it is proved that the distributed leader-following consensus of nonlinear multi-agent systems with strict-feedback form is guaranteed by Lipschitz continuous control laws. Finally, some numerical simulations are provided to show the effectiveness of the developed method.展开更多

The generalized fuzzy hyperbolic model (GFHM) with better approximation performance is used to approximate the unknown nonlinear function in the system. The dynamic surface control (DSC) is used to design the controller, which not only avoids the “explosion of complexity” problem in the process of repeated derivation, but also makes the control system simpler in structure and lower in computational cost because only one adaptive law is designed in the controller design process. Through the Lyapunov stability analysis, all signals in the closed loop system designed in this paper are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the method is verified by a simulation example.展开更多
