Neural-Network-Based Adaptive Fixed-Time Control for Nonlinear Multiagent Non-Affine Systems

In this research, the adaptive neural network consensus control problem is addressed for a class of non-affine multiagent systems (MASs) with actuator faults and stochastic disturbances. To overcome difficulties associated with actuator faults and uncertain functions of the designed MAS, a neural network fault-tolerant control scheme is developed. Moreover, an adaptive backstepping controller is developed to solve the non-affine appearance in multiagent stochastic non-affine systems using the mean value theorem. Being different from the existing control methods, the developed adaptive fixed-time control approach can ensure that the outputs of all followers track the reference signal synchronously in the fixed time, and all signals of the controlled system are semi-globally uniformly fixed-time stable. The simulation results confirm that the presented control strategy is effective in achieving control goals.
