Adaptive Fixed-Time Neural Network Tracking Control of Nonlinear Interconnected Systems
Abstract
In this article, a novel adaptive fixed-time neural network tracking control scheme for nonlinear interconnected systems is proposed. An adaptive backstepping technique is used to address unknown system uncertainties in the fixed-time settings. Neural networks are used to identify the unknown uncertainties. The study shows that, under the proposed control scheme, each state in the system can converge into small regions near zero with fixed-time convergence time via Lyapunov stability analysis. Finally, the simulation example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. A step-by-step procedure for engineers in industry process applications is proposed.
