Adaptive fuzzy fixed-time control for uncertain switched nonlinear systems with non-symmetrical dead-zone

Abstract

This paper addresses fuzzy adaptive fixed-time tracking control problem for uncertain switched nonlinear systems with non-symmetrical dead-zone, even if the tracking control problem for subsystems is not solvable. A fixed-time stability criterion for switched nonlinear systems using MLF(multiple Lyapunov functions) method is presented. Then, it is applied to fixed-time tracking control of uncertain strict-feedback switched nonlinear systems. The design methods of fuzzy adaptive feedback controllers and a state-dependent switching law are given to achieve the boundedness of all the signals of the resulting closed-loop system and the fixed-time output tracking control. Nonsymmetrical dead-zone model is used to estimate an adaptive factor through less parameters, which related to fixed-time tracking control for the uncertain switched nonlinear systems. Two examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
