Prescribed performance adaptive event-triggered consensus control for multiagent systems with input saturation

Abstract

In this paper, a prescribed performance adaptive event-triggered consensus control method is developed for a class of multiagent systems with the consideration of input dead zone and saturation. In practical engineering applications, systems are inevitably suffered from input saturation. In addition, input dead zone is widely existing. As the larger signal is limited and the smaller signal is difficult to effectively operate, system efficacious input encounters unknown magnitude limitations, which seriously impact system control performance and even lead to system instability. Furthermore, when constrained multiagent systems are required to converge quickly, the followers would achieve it with drastic and quick variation of states, which may violate the constraints and even cause security problems. To address those problems, an adaptive event-triggered consensus control is proposed. By constructing the transform function and the barrier Lyapunov function, while state constrained is guaranteed, multiagent systems quickly converge with prescribed performance. Finally, some examples are adopted to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
