Abstract
In this article, an adaptive neural containment control for a class of nonlinear multiagent systems considering actuator faults is introduced. By using the general approximation property of neural networks, a neuro-adaptive observer is designed to estimate unmeasured states. In addition, in order to reduce the computational burden, a novel event-triggered control law is designed. Furthermore, the finite-time performance function is presented to improve the transient and steady-state performance of the synchronization error. Utilizing the Lyapunov stability theory, it will be shown that the closed-loop system is cooperatively semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded (CSGUUB), and the followers' outputs reach the convex hull constructed by the leaders. Moreover, it is shown that the containment errors are limited to the prescribed level in a finite time. Eventually, a simulation example is presented to corroborate the capability of the proposed scheme.
