This study presents adaptive fixed-time fuzzy containment control for uncertain nonlinear multiagent systems. The proposed controller ensures follower agents converge to the leader agents' convex hull in fixed-time, even with unmeasurable states and unknown nonlinear functions.
Area of Science:
- Control Theory
- Artificial Intelligence
- Systems Engineering
Background:
- Multiagent systems often face challenges with uncertain nonlinear dynamics.
- Controller design is complicated by unmeasurable states and unknown nonlinear functions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an adaptive fixed-time fuzzy containment control protocol.
- To address unmeasurable states and unknown nonlinear functions in multiagent systems.
Main Methods:
- Utilized fuzzy logic systems for approximating unknown nonlinear functions.
- Developed a state observer to handle unmeasurable states.

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...
