Fixed‐time adaptive neural network tracking control for output‐constrained high‐order systems using command filtered strategy

Abstract

SummaryThis article proposes a fixed‐time adaptive neural command filtered controller for a category of high‐order systems based on adding a power integrator technique. Different from existing research, the presented controller has the following distinguishing advantages: (i) a fixed‐time control framework is extended to the tracking control problem of high‐order systems. (ii) The error compensation mechanism eliminates filter errors that arise from dynamic controllers. (iii) Growth assumptions about unknown functions are relaxed with the help of adaptive neural networks. (iv) More general systems: the developed controller can apply to high‐order systems subject to uncertain dynamics, unknown gain functions and asymmetric constraints. Stability analysis shows that all states are semi‐globally uniformly ultimately bounded, and the convergence rate of tracking error is independent of initial conditions. Finally, simulation results validate the advantages and efficacy of the developed control scheme.
