Dynamic Threshold Finite-Time Prescribed Performance Control for Nonlinear Systems With Dead-Zone Output

This article investigates the tracking control problem for nonlinear systems. An adaptive model is proposed to represent the dead-zone phenomenon and solve its control challenge with a Nussbaum function in conjunction. Drawing inspiration from the existing prescribed performance control schemes, a novel dynamic threshold scheme is developed that fuses a proposed continuous function with a finite-time performance function. A dynamic event-triggered strategy is applied to reduce the redundant transmission. The proposed time-varying threshold control strategy has fewer updates than the traditional fixed threshold and improves the efficiency of resource utilization. A command filter backstepping approach is employed to prevent the complexity explosion faced by the computation. The suggested control strategy ensures that all system signals are bounded. The validity of the simulation results has been verified.
