In this paper, the problem of adaptive neural fault-tolerant control (FTC) for the fractional-order nonlinear systems (FNSs) with positive odd rational powers (PORPs) is considered. By using the radial basis function neural networks (RBF NNs), the unknown nonlinear functions from the controlled system can be approximated. With the help of an adaptive control ideology, the unknown control rate of the actuator fault can be handled. In particular, the FNSs subject to high-order terms are studied for the first time. In addition, the designed controller can ensure the boundedness of all the signals of the closed-loop control system, and the tracking error can tend to a small neighborhood of zero in the end. Finally, the illustrative examples are shown to validate the effectiveness of the developed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
