Event‐triggered adaptive fuzzy control for nonstrict‐feedback nonlinear systems with output hysteresis

Abstract

AbstractThis paper concentrates upon the issue of adaptive fuzzy tracing control for a class of nonstrict‐feedback nonlinear systems output with hysteresis via an event‐triggered strategy. To handle the difficulty caused by the nonstrict nonlinear systems, the variable separation technique is introduced. The design difficulty of output hysteresis is addressed by employing a hysteresis inverse function and Nussbaum function to compensate unmeasurable state signal. Meanwhile, the fuzzy logic system (FLS) is used to estimate the unknown function at each step of recursion. Moreover, by devising the relative threshold event‐triggered mechanism (ETM), the frequency of actuators and controllers can be largely decreased. Thus, the adaptive fuzzy event‐triggered tracing control strategy is proposed by combining the barrier Lyapunov function and backstepping technique. With the proposed scheme, it is theoretically demonstrated that all signals in the closed‐loop system are bounded, and the tracing errors are driven to a small neighborhood of the origin under the output constraint. Eventually, two examples demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed control strategy.
