Adaptive Fuzzy Consensus Tracking Control for Uncertain Fractional-Order Multiagent Systems With Event-Triggered Input

This article focuses on the problem of adaptive fuzzy consensus tracking control with event-triggered input for a class of fractional-order multiagent systems, where systems are considered to be with unmeasurable states, mismatched uncertain external disturbances, and unknown nonlinearities. An event-triggered mechanism with a decreasing threshold function is proposed in this article, which mitigates communication burden and avoids large control impulse. To achieve better tracking performance in distributed control strategy, a compensating fractional-order adaptation law associated with consensus tracking error is introduced when agents cannot obtain the information of reference trajectory directly. Under the fractional-order stability theory, a novel distributed adaptive event-triggered controller with fuzzy observers is constructed, which ensures the boundedness of tracking errors. A simulation example demonstrates the correctness of the presented scheme.
