Output Feedback-Based Neural Adaptive Finite-Time Containment Control of Non-Strict Feedback Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems

In this paper, the observer based neural adaptive finite-time containment control strategy for non-strict feedback nonlinear multi-agent systems is studied. The finite-time command filter is used to overcome the explosion of complexity problem and the established fractional power based error compensation signal is applied to compensate the filtering error caused by the filter. The distributed finite-time command filtered backstepping control method combines with the neural adaptive control technology and state observer is given, which ensures the containment control errors reach to the desired neighborhood of the origin in finite-time in the presence of uncertain dynamics and unmeasurable states in the system. The given numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
