This paper deals with the event-triggered and self-triggered mechanisms design problem of discrete-time switched affine systems. Different from the classical switched linear systems, the subsystems of switched affine systems do not possess a common equilibrium point. In full consideration of the characteristics of switched affine systems, the mode-dependent event-triggered and self-triggered control schemes are formulated to guarantee that the system trajectory converges to a region containing the desired equilibrium point. Especially, the triggering interval of self-triggered mechanism is related to affine terms. An average dwell time switching law, a set of controller feedback gains together with the proposed event-triggered and self-triggered mechanisms are collaboratively designed by using multiple Lyapunov stability theory. Notably, the proposed discrete-time framework inherently precludes the switching and triggering Zeno behavior. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study represents the first attempt of addressing the event-triggered and self-triggered control problem specifically in discrete-time switched affine systems domain. Alongside, a DC-DC buck-boost converter example ultimately illustrates the validity of the raised theoretical results.

This paper investigates adaptive practical inverse optimal tracking control problem for uncertain stochastic nonlinear systems under state constraints and prescribed performance. Firstly, a time-varying function is utilized to deal with the prescribed tracking performance. By using the adaptive control, backstepping technique and inverse optimal control, the practical inverse optimal controller is designed for the addressed system in the existence of stochastic disturbance and system uncertainties. The proposed control algorithm can not only satisfy the prescribed tracking performance and state constraints but also solve the practical inverse optimal problem. Finally, numerical simulation is presented to verify the validity of the presented control method.

This article investigates the fuzzy adaptive prescribed performance control problem for stochastic nonlinear systems in non-strict feedback form with state delays, input delays and unmodeled dynamics. Firstly, by constructing intermediate variables and adopting the Padé approximation method, the original system is transformed into a system only perturbed by state delays. Secondly, aiming at the characteristic of the system’s non-strict feedback structure, a Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional associated with all the state variables is constructed to compensate for the state delay terms. Auxiliary dynamic signals are introduced to deal with the uncertainties arising from unmodeled dynamics. Then, an improved adaptive prescribed performance control strategy is proposed based on the properties of the hyperbolic tangent functions combined with the backstepping method. This strategy achieves higher convergence accuracy and superior tracking performance compared to traditional methods. Analysis demonstrates that all variables in the controlled system are semi-globally bounded in probability, and the tracking error can converge to the preset performance range. A simulation example is conducted to validate the efficacy of the proposed method.

The increasing penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable sources introduces significant challenges to power system stability, including load fluctuations, renewable intermittency, actuator saturation, and possible actuator faults. Existing control approaches often treat these issues separately and fail to capture the memory and hereditary effects inherent in such systems. This paper proposes a resilient fault-tolerant saturation control framework for fractional-order power systems with EV and photovoltaic integration, explicitly considering actuator faults, input saturation, and sampling mechanisms in a unified manner. A fractional-order state-space model combined with a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy approach is developed to represent nonlinearities and uncertainties. Based on an indirect fractional-order Lyapunov method, less conservative LMI-based stability conditions are derived to guarantee robust asymptotic stability. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed strategy achieves enhanced robustness and reliability against sampling irregularities, actuator failures, and saturation effects, significantly improving the stability and resilience of modern EV-integrated fractional-order power systems.

This paper proposes a composite nonlinear control method for trajectory tracking of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) subject to strong wind disturbances. Initially, the dynamic model of the quadrotor UAV, along with turbulent and shear wind models, are established. Subsequently, for the position subsystem of the quadrotor UAV, a four-quadrant switching-based sliding mode controller (FQS-SMC) is designed. For the control allocation segment, a nonlinear programming (NP)-based control allocator is developed. Finally, for the attitude subsystem, a barrier Lyapunov global sliding mode control based nonlinear model predictive controller (BLGSMC-NMPC) is proposed. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through three simulation scenarios: planar trajectory, spatial trajectory, as well as a complex trajectory under different wind conditions. The experimental results demonstrate that the composite control method proposed in this paper significantly outperforms the comparative methods in terms of dynamic performance, disturbance rejection, and control smoothness.

In this paper, a novel distributed estimator has been designed for the interconnected large-scale systems (LSSs). In LSSs, the interconnection property of the subsystems makes it difficult to design a distributed estimator. Therefore, an unknown-input observer (UIO)-like observer is introduced to handle the unknown system information. Combined with the Kalman filter, the optimal estimation under Gaussian noises has also been guaranteed. Moreover, the vulnerability of the proposed estimation algorithm under malicious attacks has been investigated, including the conditions of the existence of stealthy false data injection (FDI) attacks. Note that the existing researches mainly focus on the attacks targeted at the wireless channels between the cyber layer and the physical layer in general cyber-physical system (CPS) model. However, as one kind of CPSs, a special feature of the LSS is that the distributed estimators need exchange data through wireless channels in the cyber layer. Motivated by the consideration above, the problem of designing optimal FDI attacks in cyber layer has also been addressed. Finally, simulation results are provided based on the three-area interconnected power system to illustrate the feasibility and advantages of the theoretical results.

This paper proposes an intelligent compound disturbance rejection control framework integrating a novel Unknown System Dynamics Estimator (USDE) with Extreme Learning Machine (ELM). The USDE reconstructs the lumped term encompassing system parametric uncertainties and external disturbances online, requiring only real-time measurements of joint positions, velocities, and input torques, thereby eliminating dependency on a precise dynamic model. The framework further incorporates an ELM neural network to construct a disturbance rejection controller with direct joint torque actuation. Under randomly initialized ELM input weights, this architecture achieves effective prediction and compensation of acceleration errors through dynamic optimization of the output weights. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, the global stability of both the closed-loop tracking error and the USDE estimation error is rigorously proven. Simulations and experiments on a Franka Emika Panda robot demonstrate that the proposed method maintains high-precision trajectory tracking performance under simulated space disturbance scenarios, including unknown dynamic model mismatch, gravity variations, and sudden external disturbances. This work provides a theoretical framework and a universal implementation scheme, independent of precise dynamic models, for solving the challenge of fine manipulation control in harsh, unknown environments for open-space robotic systems.

We propose a dual-state-feedback delayed resonator (DFDR) by incorporating an additional acceleration-based feedback into the classical DR design. The optimal tuning of its feedback parameters is guided by two objectives: enhancing vibration suppression at a specified target frequency and maintaining overall system stability. First, we extend the Advanced Clustering with Frequency Sweeping (ACFS) methodology from the delay-only domain to the combined delay-gain domain, enabling a rigorous and complete stability analysis where feedback gains and delays interact. Second, we develop the optimal parameter tuning procedure and demonstrate that the proposed DFDR achieves improved stability margins, enhanced robustness to frequency variations, and superior vibration suppression performance compared to the classical DR. These results highlight the practical potential of DFDR as an effective and robust solution for active vibration suppression systems.

This paper presents an interval type-2 Takagi-Sugeno (IT2 T-S) fuzzy model predictive control (MPC) strategy for a nonlinear cyber-physical system (CPS) subject to dynamic event-based scheduling protocol and actuator failure. In contrast to type-1 fuzzy model, IT2 T-S fuzzy model with lower and upper membership functions can capture the uncertain parameters of system. To save network resources and avoid data collision problems, two dynamic event-based scheduling protocols are proposed in the fuzzy MPC algorithm. Compared with existing protocols, the scheduling protocols can simultaneously adjust whether to release the sampling instant and which node to transmit. Moreover, inevitable actuator failure issue is addressed by establishing a failure model. Furthermore, a state observer is off-line designed to reduce the calculation burden and the model predictive controller gains are on-line solved to stabilize the CPS. Finally, simulation results show that the triggered rates of dynamic event-based scheduling protocols (28.33% and 26.67% in Example 1) are lower than those of static event-based scheduling protocols (63.33% and 61.67% in Example 1), indicating the validity of proposed method.

We investigate the enhanced asymptotic tracking behavior of a McKean–Vlasov-type model for continuum target tracking within the framework of measure-valued solutions. Our approach employs the method of sliding mode control. To this end, we first revisit a kinetic model for continuum target tracking, previously studied in [1], and analyze its exponential tracking property in the measure-valued sense by leveraging its characteristic curves and applying the hypocoercivity method. Subsequently, we introduce a feedback control input via sliding mode control into this kinetic equation, thereby obtaining a nonsmooth McKean–Vlasov-type tracking model. Under this controlled framework, we establish an improved rate of tracking convergence in the measure-valued solution sense. Finally, we provide numerical results to validate the analysis and to compare them with the theoretical results.
