Novel Adaptive Event-Triggered Fuzzy Command Filter Control for Slowly Switched Nonlinear Systems With Constraints

Abstract

This article addresses the adaptive fuzzy control problem for switched nonlinear systems with state constraints. The unified barrier function (UBF) is introduced to solve the time-varying state constraints, which removes the feasibility conditions. By integrating command filter into backstepping control to avoid the 'explosion of complexity.' In addition, a novel event-triggered strategy is designed to deal with the asynchronous switching between subsystems and controllers without limiting the maximum asynchronous time, and mitigate the communication burden. Also, a new threshold function is introduced to overcome the difficulty of discontinuous triggering error at the switching instants. Then, by combining the improved admissible edge-dependent average dwell-time (AED-ADT) method with Lyapunov stability analysis, it is proved that all system signals are bounded and do not violate the predefined constraints under given switching rule. Finally, the numerical simulation results verify the superiority of the proposed algorithm, and the algorithm is applied to a ship maneuvering system.
