“…In this subsection, we first consider the output constraints case. Inspired by the backstepping design scheme based on adding a power integrator technique from the literatures, [10][11][12][26][27][28][29] we designed a proper configuration method of the powers; using the EBF, a distributed finite-time output consensus tracking controller is proposed for the nonlinear subsystem (1) that satisfy the asymmetric output constraints (8). The design objectives presented in Section 2 are solved.…”

This article considers the distributed finite-time output consensus tracking problem for a class of high-order nonlinear multiagent systems with the powers of positive odd rational numbers and output constraints. First, since the finite-time tracking design method for a single system with the powers of positive odd rational numbers cannot be extended to the finite-time consensus tracking for multiagent systems, an especial configuration method of the powers is constructed. Second, a new exponential brake function (EBF) that purely depends on the outputs is proposed to address the asymmetric output constraints directly. By adjusting a related parameter, the large converted value can be avoided when the output approaches the constrained boundaries, which may reduce the control input over a large output scale. Third, given some reasonable assumptions, a distributed finite-time output consensus tracking controller is proposed to guarantee that the tracking error converges to an adjustable small region around the origin in a finite time and that the output constraints of all subsystems are not violated. The result with output constraints can also be extended to the case without output constraints. Finally, simulation verifications also confirm the benefits and effectiveness of the proposed control methods.

“…The adaptive tracking control for nonlinear MASs was investigated in the work of Feng and Zheng . The finite‐time consensus and tracking protocols were presented for strict‐feedback nonlinear MASs in the work of Li and Ji . By the sliding mode control method, the consensus tracking problem of the second‐order nonlinear MAS was developed in the work of Qin et al What these references have in common is that they do not involve the saturation control of nonlinear MASs.…”

Summary In this paper, the tracking control problem for a class of nonlinear time‐delay multiagent systems with input saturation is considered. The nonlinear dynamics are dominated by strict‐feedback form and satisfy Lipschitz conditions with constant gains. First, it indicated that the tracking control problem is equivalent to a general bound problem of high‐dimensional multivariable systems. Second, an ingenious state transformation is utilized to change the bound problem into the parameter design problem. Third, by the static gain control technique and the hyperbolic tangent function, both state feedback and output feedback controllers are built such that all signals of the closed‐loop systems are globally bounded, and the tracking errors between the followers and the leader can converge to a small neighborhood around the origin by appropriately selecting parameters. Finally, an example is shown to verify the feasibility of our results.

In this paper, the finite-time adaptive consensus stabilization is investigated for unknown nonlinear leaderless multi-agent systems with unknown output dead-zone. Different from the previous results on the multi-agent systems with unknown dead-zone, the dead-zone nonlinear is researched in the output channel. By using the recursive backstepping design method and the universal approximation ability of fuzzy logic systems, a local controller for each follower is constructed. Meanwhile, a Lyapunov-based logic switching rule is applied to handle the unknown control gain problems aroused by the output dead-zone nonlinearities. It is, thus, shown that the established adaptive control protocol can assure the finite-time state synchronization of each node. Besides, the state synchronization error between any adjacent followers also converges to a small region of zero when time tends to T 0. Finally, the two simulations are conducted to further verify our theoretical results.
