Approximation-Based Fixed-Time Adaptive Tracking Control for a Class of Uncertain Nonlinear Pure-Feedback Systems

摘要

This paper examines approximation-based fixed-time adaptive tracking control for a class of uncertain nonlinear pure-feedback systems. Novel virtual and actual controllers are designed that resolve the meaninglessness of virtual and actual controllers at the origin and in the negative domain, and the sufficient condition for the system to have semiglobal fixed-time stability is also provided. Radial basis function neural networks are introduced to approximate unknown functions for solving the fixed-time control problem of unknown nonlinear pure-feedback systems, and the mean value theorem is used to solve the problem of nonaffine structure in nonlinear pure-feedback systems. The controllers designed in this paper ensure that all signals in the closed-loop system are semiglobally uniform and ultimately bounded in a fixed time. Two simulation results show that appropriate design parameters can limit the tracking error within a region of the origin in a fixed time.
