Abstract:
This paper focuses on the problem of event-triggered funnel control for strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown parameters. For the first time, an adjustable funnel function is proposed, whose parameters can be adjusted online according to the change of tracking error. Furthermore, based on event-triggered control, an adaptive event-triggered funnel controller is constructed, which guarantees that all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded. Besides, the output tracking error is further optimized and always falls within an adjustable funnel which has a faster convergence. Meanwhile, the Zeno behavior also is avoided. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed controller.

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...
