A New Event-Triggered Adaptive Fixed-Time Control Design for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems

This article investigates the problem of dynamic memory event-triggered (DMET) fixed-time tracking control within time-varying asymmetric constraints for nonaffine nonstrict-feedback uncertain nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics and unknown disturbances. The existing dynamic event-triggered control methods cannot handle the nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics and nonaffine inputs, which greatly limits the applicability of the strategy. To this end, a novel DMET adaptive fuzzy fixed-time control protocol is constructed based on the idea of command filtered backstepping, in which a new dynamic signal function is established to deal with the unmodeled dynamics and an improved DMET mechanism (DMETM) is designed to solve the problem of nonaffine inputs. It is proved that the newly DMET control strategy ensures the tracking error converges to an arbitrarily small compact set in a fixed time and all the signals of the closed-loop systems are bounded. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by two simulation examples.
