Adaptive Dynamic Programming-Based Event-Triggered Robust Control for Multiplayer Nonzero-Sum Games With Unknown...

In this article, the event-triggered robust control of unknown multiplayer nonlinear systems with constrained inputs and uncertainties is investigated by using adaptive dynamic programming. To relax the requirement of system dynamics, a neural network-based identifier is constructed by using the system input-output data. Subsequently, by designing a nonquadratic value function, which contains the bounded functions, the system states, and the control inputs of all players, the event-triggered robust stabilization problem is converted into an event-triggered constrained optimal control problem. To obtain the approximate solution of the event-triggered Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equation, a critic network for each player is established with a novel weight updating law to relax the persistence of excitation condition based on the experience replay technique. Furthermore, according to the Lyapunov stability theorem, the present event-triggered robust optimal control ensures the multiplayer system to be uniformly ultimately bounded. Finally, two simulation examples are employed to show the effectiveness of the present method.
