Quantized adaptive decentralized control for interconnected nonlinear systems with actuator faults

摘要

This paper studies quantized adaptive decentralized output feedback control technique for a class of interconnected nonlinear systems with quantized input and possible number of actuator failures up to infinity. A modified backstepping approach is proposed by the use of high-gain k-filters, hyperbolic tangent function property and bound-estimation approach to compensate for the effect of possible number of actuator failures up to infinity and input quantization. It is proved both mathematically and by simulation that, all the signals of the closed-loop system are globally bounded despite of input quantization and possible number of actuator failures up to infinity.
