Abstract:

This paper concerns the problem of output consensus in nonlinear non-minimum phase systems. The main contribution of the paper is to guarantee achieving consensus in the presence of unstable zero dynamics. To achieve this goal, an output redefinition method is proposed. The new outputs of agents are functions of original outputs and internal states and defined such that the dynamics of agents are minimum phase. However, since the main objective is to achieve consensus on original outputs of agents, the consensus invariant set in the new coordinate of the agents dynamics should be defined such that if the new states of the agents converge to this invariant set, the output consensus in original system is achieved. On the other words, achieving consensus in minimum phase system with redefined output is equivalent to output consensus in original system. After defining the proper invariant set, a consensus protocol is designed to guarantee that the redefined outputs and the internal states to this set. Theoretical results are mathematically proved based on Lyapunov criterion. Numerical examples are employed to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Adaptive Distributed Consensus Control for a Class of Heterogeneous and Uncertain Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems

This paper has been devoted to the design of a distributed consensus control for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems in the strict-feedback form. The communication between the agents has been described by a directed graph. Radial-basis function neural networks have been used for the approximation of the uncertain and heterogeneous dynamics of the followers as well as the effect o...

A gradient descent control for output tracking of a class of non-minimum phase nonlinear systems

In this paper we present a new approach to design the input control to track the output of a non-minimum phase nonlinear system. Therefore, a ascade control scheme that combines input–output feedback linearization and gradient descent control method is proposed. Therein, input–output eedback linearization forms the inner loop that compensates the nonlinearities in the input–output behavior, and...

Adaptive Neural Network Method for Consensus Tracking of High-Order Mimo Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems

This paper is concerned with the consensus tracking problem of high order MIMO nonlinear multi-agent systems. The agents must follow a leader node in presence of unknown dynamics and uncertain external disturbances. The communication network topology of agents is assumed to be a fixed undirected graph. A distributed adaptive control method is proposed to solve the consensus problem utilizing re...

Neuro-Adaptive Output Feedback Control for a Class of Nonlinear Non-Minimum Phase Systems

This paper presents an adaptive output-feedback control method for non-affine nonlinear non-minimum phase systems that have partially known Lipschitz continuous functions in their arguments. The proposed controller is comprised of a linear, a neuro-adaptive and an adaptive robustifying control term. The adaptation law for the neural network weights is obtained using the Lyapunov’s direct method...
