Abstract

This paper investigates the cooperative output regulation problem for heterogeneous nonlinear uncertain multiagent networked systems subject to actuator failure, bounded matched or mismatched disturbances or disturbances produced by a given linear exosystem. Accurate information about nonlinearity, actuator failure and disturbance may be completely unknown. First, a distributed finite-time observer is designed to estimate the dynamics of the exosystem on a finite-time interval over a communication digraph. Then, a neural-adaptive control protocol is proposed. It is shown that (i) closed-loop multiagent systems are asymptotically stable, with output synchronization errors that tend to zero in the absence of mismatched disturbance, and (ii) the states of the closed-loop multiagent systems and the output synchronization errors are bounded in the presence of mismatched disturbance. Finally, a simulation example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
