Abstract:
This paper studies an adaptive neural network (NN) tracking control method for a class of uncertain nonlinear strict-feedback systems with time-varying full-state constraints. As we all know, the states are inevitably constrained in the actual systems because of the safety and performance factors. The main contributions of this paper are that: 1) in order to ensure that the states do not violate the asymmetric time-varying constraint regions, an adaptive NN controller is constructed by introducing the asymmetric time-varying barrier Lyapunov function (TVBLF) and 2) the amount of the learning parameters is reduced by introducing a TVBLF at each step of the backstepping. Based on the Lyapunov stability analysis, it can be proven that all the signals in the closed-loop system are the semiglobal ultimately uniformly bounded and the time-varying full-state constraints are never violated. Finally, a numerical simulation is given, and the effectiveness of this adaptive control method can be verified.
