Adaptive Fixed-Time Tracking Control for Nonlinear Systems Based on Finite-Time Command-Filtered Backstepping

This article takes into account the problem of adaptive fixed-time control for nonlinear systems in a strict form via finite-time command-filtered backstepping. Our presented control scheme gives consideration to rapidity by using fixed-time control and finite-time command filter, and its prime control objective is to ensure that the system output can be guided from any initial conditions to go after an ideal variable. Meanwhile, this control strategy makes sure that all the system states and other signals are bounded at finite time, and its convergence time does not have any connection with the system initial conditions and is determined by the design parameters. At every step in the design process, a fuzzy logic system is introduced to approximate the unknown part, and a finite-time command filter is also utilized so as to avoid the issue of derivation of virtual control laws and complex calculation. At last, we verify that the presented scheme is viable through a simulation example.

Automated summary

This article addresses the problem of adaptive fixed-time control for nonlinear systems using finite-time command-filtered backstepping. The proposed control scheme considers rapidity by using fixed-time control and finite-time command filter to guide the system output towards an ideal variable from any initial conditions. Additionally, the control strategy ensures that all system states and signals are bounded within finite time and the convergence time is independent of the initial conditions.
