This study introduces a decentralized adaptive neural control for stochastic nonlinear systems. The method ensures tracking performance and stability despite unknown dynamics and arbitrary switching signals.
Area of Science:
- Control Theory
- Artificial Intelligence
- Stochastic Systems
Background:
- High-order stochastic nonlinear systems present significant control challenges due to unknown dynamics and interconnected nonlinearities.
- Ensuring prescribed performance and stability under arbitrary switching signals is a complex problem in decentralized control.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a decentralized adaptive neural backstepping control strategy for high-order stochastic nonlinear systems.
- To address unknown interconnected nonlinearities and arbitrary switching signals while guaranteeing prescribed performance.
- To reduce the number of learning parameters and overcome over-parameterization issues.
Main Methods:
- Prescribed Performance Control (PPC) is utilized to ensure tracking performance without initial error constraints.
- Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks are employed to approximate unknown system dynamics.
- A common Lyapunov stability method is applied to design the decentralized adaptive neural controller.
Main Results:
- The proposed controller ensures that all signals in the closed-loop system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB).
- Prescribed tracking control performance is guaranteed even under arbitrary switching conditions.
- The method effectively handles unknown system dynamics and interconnected nonlinearities.
Conclusions:
- The developed decentralized adaptive neural control scheme is effective for high-order stochastic nonlinear systems with unknown dynamics and arbitrary switchings.
- The approach successfully guarantees prescribed performance and system stability, validated by simulation results.
- This work contributes a robust control strategy with reduced parameter learning for complex nonlinear systems.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
