文摘This paper considers adaptive event-triggered stabilization for a class of uncertain time-varying nonlinear systems.Remarkably,the systems contain intrinsic time-varying unknown parameters which are allowed to be non-differentiable and in turn can be fast-varying.Moreover,the systems admit unknown control directions.To counteract the different uncertainties,more than one compensation mechanism has to be incorporated.However,in the context of event-triggered control,ensuring the effectiveness of these compensation mechanisms under reduced execution necessitates delicate design and analysis.This paper proposes a tight and powerful strategy for adaptive event-triggered control(ETC)by integrating the state-of-the-art adaptive techniques.In particular,the strategy substantially mitigates the conservatism caused by repetitive inequality-based treatments of uncertainties.Specifically,by leveraging the congelation-of-variables method and tuning functions,the conservatism in the treatment of the fast-varying parameters is significantly reduced.With multiple Nussbaum functions employed to handle unknown control directions,a set of dynamic compensations is designed to counteract unknown amplitudes of control coefficients without relying on inequality-based treatments.Moreover,a dedicated dynamic compensation is introduced to deal with the control coefficient coupled with the execution error,based on which a relativethreshold event-triggering mechanism(ETM)is rigorously validated.It turns out that the adaptive event-triggered controller achieves the closed-loop convergence while guaranteeing a uniform lower bound for inter-execution times.Simulation results verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed strategy.

文摘This paper investigates the problem of dynamic event-triggered control for a class of large-scale nonlinear systems.In particular,both neutral delays and unknown backlash-like hysteresis are considered.This requires to integrate a compensation mechanism into the event-triggered control architecture.To this end,dynamic gain and adaptive control techniques are introduced to address the effects of neutral delays,unknown hysteresis and parameter uncertainties simultaneously.By introducing a non-negative internal dynamic variable,a dynamic event-triggered controller is designed using the hyperbolic tangent function to reduce the communication burden.By means of the Lyapunov–Krasovskii method,it is demonstrated that all signals of the closed-loop system are globally bounded and eventually converge to a tunable bounded region.Moreover,the Zeno behavior is avoided.Finally,a simulation example is presented to verify the validity of the control scheme.

文摘This paper studies global stabilization via predictor-based sampled-data output feedback for a class of feedforward nonlinear time-delay systems.Note that the traditional sampled-data observer via zero-order holder may result in the performance degradation of the observer.In this paper,an improved predictor-based observer is designed to compensate for the influence of the unmeasurable states,sampling errors and output delay.In addition,a sampled-data output-feedback controller is also constructed using the gain scaling technique.By the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method,the global exponential stability of the resulting closed-loop system can be guaranteed under some sufficient conditions.The simulation results are provided to demonstrate the main results.
