Abstract:Summary
In this paper, the consensus tracking problem is investigated for stochastic nonlinear multiagent systems with full state constraints and time delays. The barrier Lyapunov functions proposed for single‐agent constrained systems are constructively extended to solve the consensus problem for multiagent systems with the full state constraints. Some Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functionals are introduced to compensate for state time delays, which are inherent in the complicated nonlinear systems. Based on the varia… Show more
“…Remark that when the MASs suffer multiple disturbances with different periods, whether the developed strategy still works, or how to refine the strategy for finite‐time compensation and consensus, both are what we pursue in the future study. Moreover, developing the proposed strategy into the more general form of systems or more general disturbances (such as unbounded ones) is also an important topic we will discuss in the future 39‐43 …”
Summary
The paper is devoted to the asymptotic output consensus for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi‐agent systems. The disturbance that the system suffered is said to be “atypical" since, unlike the related literature, it is unnecessarily continuously differentiable (e.g., sawtooth wave), and even permitted to be discontinuous (e.g., square wave), despite requiring it to be of unknown integer multiples of certain period. Typically, the multi‐agent systems admit more than one ingredient causing heterogeneities: (i) No identical requirement is made on the system nonlinearities and input directions (the unknown signs of the input coefficients). (ii) The orders of agent dynamics can be different (the dynamics are first‐order, second‐order, or even high‐order). Nevertheless, in the context, we still pursue the asymptotic output consensus, and unlike some related literature, instead of seeking a time‐varying strategy which means the introduction of infinitely large gains, we combine a refined switching strategy with continuous adaptive one together to propose a new consensus protocol. It turns out that under the proposed protocol, all the agent outputs reach a common value while all the closed‐loop signals are bounded. Simulation examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed protocol.

“…As a response method, the dynamic surface control solves the problem of explosion of complexity by using command filter effectively, 19‐21 and the fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) are introduced to estimate the unknown nonlinear dynamics. The dynamic surface control was extended to solve the consensus problems for full‐sate constrained MASs in References 22,23, but how to deal with the filtering errors caused by the filtering process is not considered, which will reduce the control performance. To solve this problem, the command filtered backstepping with error compensation mechanism has been studied for nonlinear systems in References 24,25 and for MASs in References 26,27, which ensures the filtering performance with the elimination of filtering errors.…”

Summary
In this article, the fuzzy adaptive finite‐time consensus tracking control problem for nonstrict feedback nonlinear multiagent systems with full‐state constraints is studied. The finite‐time control based on command filtered backstepping is proposed to guarantee the finite‐time convergence and eliminate the explosion of complexity problem caused by backstepping process, and the errors in the filtering process are compensated by using error compensation mechanism. Furthermore, based on the fuzzy logic systems, the uncertain nonlinear dynamics are approximated and the problem of state variables in nonstrict feedback form is solved by using the property of basis functions. The barrier Lyapunov functions are introduced to guarantee that all system states and compensated tracking error signals are constrained in the designed regions. A simulation example is given to verify the superiority of the proposed algorithm.
In this article, the event‐triggered optimized adaptive tracking control problem is investigated for a class of multi‐agent systems subject to full‐state constraints. To address the full‐state constraints problem, a nonlinear mapping technique is applied, which can release the feasibility conditions for virtual controllers. Based on the mean‐value theorem, the nonaffine nonlinear terms generated by transformed system are separated, which overcomes the obstacle of solving optimized solution. The neural network based reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm with the identifier‐critic‐actor architecture is introduced to obtain the optimal solution of systems with unknown dynamics. It is worth noting that the RL algorithm in this article is simplified, which can reduce the computational burden. To reducing the communication burden, an event‐triggered mechanism with time‐varying threshold related to the optimized control signal is developed. By applying the Lyapunov stability method, it is proved that the desired optimized tracking performance and the stability of the closed‐loop systems can be guaranteed. Finally, a simulation example demonstrates that the proposed control strategy is effective.
