Title
Finite-time adaptive optimal consensus control for multi-agent systems subject to time-varying output constraints
Abstract
In this paper, a finite-time optimal consensus control strategy is presented for unknown multi-agent systems (MASs) with the time-varying asymmetric output constraint. Different from existing results, the output constraint problem investigated here eliminates the requirements that constraint boundary functions must be strictly non-zero and have different signs, which is successfully handled by introducing special barrier functions. Moreover, to deal with disturbances well, a reinforcement learning (RL) with the critic-actor disturbance structure is introduced. Meanwhile, the weights of neural networks are adjusted online by applying the gradient descent method to positive functions newly constructed, which not only significantly simplifies the algorithm but also eliminates the persistent excitation condition. For obtaining a fast convergence rate, the finite-time control technique is embedded into the RL algorithm, and an effective finite-time optimal control scheme is proposed to achieve the consistency of multi-agent system in a finite time. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed protocol is demonstrated by two simulation examples. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
