More Information
  • Considering that actual systems are often constrained by multiple factors such as state limitation, actuator saturation and actuator failure at the same time, this paper provides an effective solution for non-affine multi-player systems, which can guarantee the required performance while saving communication cost. Initially, an auxiliary system is established to accommodate state limitations, following which the controller design is partitioned into two distinct segments, addressing different types of faults. Specifically, the discontinuous and continuous aspects of the controller are achieved by sliding-mode control (SMC) and adaptive critic design (ACD), respectively. During the implementation of ACD to solve the guaranteed value function incorporating the utility function designed for the asymmetric saturation of the control input, two adaptive schemes including adaptive event-triggered impulsive control (AETIC) and adaptive self-triggered impulsive control (ASTIC) are introduced successively. It is proved that the system maintains exponential stability rather than asymptotic stability and the state signals keep ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control sequence is verified by simulation comparisons.
