Abstract
In this article, the distributed adaptive neural network (NN) consensus fault-tolerant control (FTC) problem is studied for nonstrict-feedback nonlinear multiagent systems (NMASs) subjected to intermittent actuator faults. The NNs are applied to approximate nonlinear functions, and a NN state-observer is developed to estimate the unmeasured states. Then, to compensate for the influence of intermittent actuator faults, a novel distributed output-feedback adaptive FTC is then designed by co-designing the last virtual controller, and the problem of "algebraic-loop" can be solved. The stability of the closed-loop system is proven by using the Lyapunov theory. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed FTC approach is validated by numerical and practical examples.
