This article proposes the design of the resolution-dependent variance-constrained state estimation (RDVCSE) algorithm for a class of time-varying nonlinear coupled complex networks (TVNCCNs) with stochastic communication and correlated noises. Specifically, a continuous-differentiable nonlinear function with bounded first partial derivative is considered during the exchange among different coupled units and a resolution-limited model is taken into account to embody the limited data-processing capabilities of sensors. In order to describe the principle of random allocation in engineering, a stochastic strategy is employed in the sensor/estimator shared channel. An augmented RDVCSE method is developed such that the error covariance upper bound of state estimation (ECUBSE) can be guaranteed and obtained first. Then, the estimator parameter can be concretized via optimizing the trace of ECUBSE. In addition, a sufficient criterion is provided to verify the uniform boundedness of the presented RDVCSE algorithm. Finally, a comparative simulation is carried out to illustrate the validity of the introduced RDVCSE algorithm.

This paper presents a fixed-time state observer-based robust adaptive neural fault-tolerant control (RANFTC) for attitude and altitude tracking and control of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), considering multiple actuator faults, parametric uncertainty, and unknown external disturbances simultaneously. A novel fixed-time state error estimation based on sliding mode observer is designed, which is independent of initial conditions. A proportional–integral–derivative (PID) based sliding mode control (SMC) is proposed to handle actuator faults and unknown disturbances in combination with the fixed-time observer within the fault-tolerant control (FTC) design scheme. The radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is employed with the controller to approximate the uncertain parameters of the system. Furthermore, two new adaptive laws are designed to estimate the sudden actuator fault and the unknown upper bound of disturbances independently. Implementing these estimation schemes avoids overestimation, enhances the robustness of the presented controller, and substantially eliminates the control chattering problem. By applying the Lyapunov stability concept, the suggested control strategy guarantees that the states of the quadrotor UAV converge to the origin in a finite time. Finally, simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate the tracking performance and highlight the effectiveness of the proposed FTC design compared to the existing FTC methods.

This article studies the finite-time control problem for a class of nonlinear chaotic semi-Markov jump systems with incomplete transition rates described by the T-S fuzzy model approach. As a means to depict the dynamical properties pertaining to the examined system, parametric uncertainties, faults, external disturbances and input saturation are taken into consideration. The foremost objective of this study is to come up with a composite control mechanism that effectively rejects and attenuates the repercussions of faults and disturbances. In particular, we primarily built a disturbance observer in order to obtain a precise estimation of the external disturbances. After which, the fault diagnosis observer is designated to effectively estimate the faults. Specifically, a composite reliable control mechanism is developed by fusing the output of the constructed observers with the mode-dependent fuzzy-rule based state feedback controller. By employing suitable Lyapunov functions in conjunction with the linear matrix inequality technique, a set of mode-dependent conditions is derived to ensure the finite-time stochastic boundedness of the underlying closed-loop and estimation error systems. Following this, the anticipated controller and observer gain matrices are elicited by resolving the established linear matrix inequalities. Thereafter, intending to ascertain the efficacy and usefulness of accrued theoretical findings, simulation results performed on Chua's circuit system is endowed.

In practical sensor networks, sensor nodes may operate with different sampling periods and initial sampling time instants, and their observations may also be nonuniform. Unfortunately, the research on distributed state estimation problems over such asynchronous sensor networks is very limited. Thus, this article focuses on the distributed consensus filtering problem over sensor networks with asynchronous measurements. First, the asynchronous measurement from each sensor is synchronized by the continuous-time state evolution equation to a unified filtering fusion time instant within a given filtering period. After measurement synchronization, the statistical characteristics of measurement noise change. The cross-correlations between the converted measurement noises are analyzed, as well as one-step correlations between the converted measurement noises and the process noise. Second, an optimal asynchronous distributed consensus filter is designed based on synchronization measurements under the criterion of minimum mean-square error with the above correlations between various types of noises taken into account. Meanwhile, a suboptimal distributed consensus filtering algorithm is further proposed to reduce computational complexity. Finally, based on the Lyapunov function method, the stability of the estimation error is theoretically demonstrated with an appropriate selection of consensus filtering gain and validated through simulations.

In this article, new linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions are proposed to guarantee robust stability of the closed-loop of the linear time-invariant one-dimensional uncertain system by dealing with both continuous-time (CT) and discrete-time (DT) cases. These improved conditions for robust state feedback control combine the non-monotonic approach and Finsler's technique. The benefit of the non-monotonic approach returns to the utility of an arbitrary number of quadratic functions by considering the higher order derivatives of the vector field in the CT case (or the higher order differences of the vector field in the DT case). Finsler's technique aims to solve the closed-loop stability problem in a larger parametric space. The strong points of the suggested LMI conditions are easy to program, eliminate the product between the state matrix and Lyapunov matrices, reduce the constraints by avoiding the decrease monotonically along trajectories for each quadratic Lyapunov function, guarantee the robust stability of the closed-loop by using a state-feedback gain. The simulation results show and confirm the effectiveness of these proposed conditions.

This article studies the problem of fault estimation (FE) and dynamic output fault-tolerant control (DOFTC) for a class of Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy singularly perturbed systems (SPSs) which subject to time delay, external disturbance and actuator fault. A new fault estimation and fault-tolerant control scheme was proposed and designed for the influence of the change of perturbation parameter $��\epsilon �$ on the singularly perturbed system. This scheme adopts the Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model, learning observer and dynamic output feedback fault-tolerant mechanism, so that the system has multi-time-scale dynamic stability. The results show that this method has more accurate estimation effect, faster convergence speed, and very fast steady-state response of fault-tolerant control when faults occur. Furthermore, when constructing the Lyapunov function, the improved matrix $��P�\left(�\epsilon �\right)�$ was selected to ensure that the closed-loop system is stable for all $��\epsilon �\in �(�0�,�\overline{�\epsilon �}�]�$, and at the same time, the conservativeness of the results was reduced. Finally, the feasibility and correctness of the proposed design method were illustrated through two numerical examples.

A fault isolation, estimation and fault-tolerant control algorithm is proposed for non-Gaussian stochastic distribution control systems with disturbance and multiple sensor faults. Sensor faults are represented as actuator faults virtually, and an observer is devised to detect the sensor fault occurrence time. Then two subsystems are separated by the expanded system through introducing the coordinate transformation matrices. One subsystem contains only sensor faults and does not contain disturbance and the other contains sensor faults and disturbance, which provides convenience for fault isolation. The faults are estimated respectively by the multiple fault isolation observers with the same number of sensors. A fault-tolerant control scheme is proposed after getting the fault information to compensated sensor faults and track the desired probability density function. Finally, a MATLAB simulation example is used to verify the feasibility of the algorithm.

In this brief, an optimal active fuzzy fault-tolerant control (OAFFTC) scheme is proposed for a class of unknown perturbed multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with nonaffine nonlinear actuator faults and time-varying sensor faults. The control strategy can handle automatically (online updating) with three additives (bias, drift, and loss of accuracy) along with one multiplicative (loss of effectiveness) sensor faults and nonlinear state-dependent actuator faults. In order to deal with uncertain system dynamics, sensor and actuator faults, and external disturbances, fuzzy systems (FSs) and backstepping techniques were combined to provide the adaptive control term as well as a robust control term. Butterworth filter is used to get rid the algebraic loop problem. The suggested robust term, can deal with approximation errors of the fuzzy systems (FSs). To automatically optimize the adaptive parameters and the starting conditions, particle swarm optimization (PSO) approach is introduced. The Lyapunov approach is employed to demonstrate the closed-loop system's stability. To assess the efficacy and correctness of the suggested scheme, quadrotor dynamic model is performed on the simulation part.

In this paper, an indirect filtering fault-tolerant control method is proposed for interconnected time-delay systems with multiple sensor and actuator faults. As is well known, directly utilizing the state information obtained from sensors with faults to constrain the actual state poses great challenges. This article utilizes conservative sensor fault loss information to indirectly apply time-varying asymmetric constraints to the actual state while ensuring compliance with fault state constraints. In addition, the conservatism requirement of the initial state is reduced by utilizing carefully constructed delay constraint functions. To solve the problem of “explosion of complexity,” the derivative of the output signal of the filter is used to replace the derivative of the virtual control rate. The Nussbaum function can effectively alleviate the impact of multiple actuator failures and unknown control directions on the system. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified through simulation examples.

In this article, an optimized inverse dead-zone control using reinforcement learning (RL) is developed for a class of nonlinear dynamic systems. The dead-zone is frequently occurred in the nonlinear control system, and it can affect the control performance and even cause the system instable. Hence, it is very requisite to consider the effect of dead-zone in the design of control strategy. In this proposed optimized inverse dead-zone control, the basic idea is to find the optimized control as input and the adaptive algorithm to estimate the unknown parameters for the inverse dead-zone function, so that the available dead-zone input for system control can be derived. Comparing with traditional methods, on the one hand, the proposed dead zone inverse method is with fewer adaptive parameters, on the other hand, the RL under identifier-critic-actor architecture is with the simplified algorithm. Finally, theoretical and simulation results manifest the feasibility of the proposed method.
