Decentralized adaptive neural control for interconnected stochastic nonlinear delay-time systems with asymmetric saturation actuators and output constraints

This paper investigates the problem of decentralized adaptive backstepping control for a class of large-scale stochastic nonlinear time-delay systems with asymmetric saturation actuators and output constraints. Firstly, the Gaussian error function is employed to represent a continuous differentiable asymmetric saturation nonlinearity, and barrier Lyapunov functions are designed to ensure that the output parameters are restricted. Secondly, the appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and the property of hyperbolic tangent functions are used to deal with the unknown unmatched time-delay interactions, and the neural networks are employed to approximate the unknown nonlinearities. At last, based on Lyapunov stability theory, a decentralized adaptive neural control method is proposed, and the designed controller decreases the number of learning parameters. It is shown that the designed controller can ensure that all the closed-loop signals are 4-Moment (or 2 Moment) semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB) and the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of the origin. Two examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. (c) 2017 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
