Event-triggered prescribed-time control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems using finite time-varying gain.

This paper addresses the event-triggered prescribed-time control problem for a class of high-order nonlinear systems based on finite time-varying gain. Due to the existence of unknown gain functions and system uncertainties, the resultant control with prescribed-time convergence performance becomes nontrivial. The problem becomes even more complex due to the use of event-based communication instead of continuous communication.

Global Prescribed Performance Control for Strict Feedback Systems Pursuing Uncertain Target.

In this work, an online solution for reconstructing and predicting the uncertain target trajectory in real-time is proposed based on general regression neural network (GRNN). On this basis, an adaptive tracking control scheme guaranteeing prescribed performance is suggested for a class of strict-feedback systems with unknown control directions. In contrast to existing trajectory reconstruction methods, the one presented in this note does not require prior modeling of the uncertain target or offline training.
