Fixed-time command-filtered composite adaptive neural fault-tolerant control for strict-feedback nonlinear systems

The research investigates the fixed-time command-filtered composite adaptive neural fault-tolerant (FCCANF) control issue of strict-feedback nonlinear systems (SFNSs). There exist unknown functions and bounded disturbances in the considered systems. Radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) will be used in the estimate of the unknown functions. By the serial-parallel estimation models (SPEMs), the forecast biases and the track biases can change the weights of RBFNNs and the approximate characteristics of RBFNNs will be improved. Then, utilizing the novel fixed-time command filter and adaptive disturbance observers, the issue of complex explosion will be effectively solved and the external disturbance is effectively compensated. Subsequently, by utilizing the adaptive control technique, a novel FCCANF controller is developed. Additionally, we have that the system internal variables are bounded and the output variable inclines to a little interval around zero in fixed time which is not determined by the system initial variables. Eventually, numerical and practical examples are shown to prove the availability of the obtained control technique.
