Abstract
This paper is concerned with distributed fixed-time containment control for nonlinear multiagent systems with actuator faults via static and dynamic event-triggered strategies. A distributed fixed-time static event-triggered fault-tolerant controller is developed by employing the sign function, which eliminates the requirement for continuous control signal updates. To address the chattering phenomenon caused by the sign function, a distributed saturation controller is presented to enhance the control performance. To further reduce energy consumption and frequency of controller updates, a dynamic event-triggered strategy with an auxiliary parameter is proposed for each agent to dynamically regulate its threshold. The control scheme guarantees that the containment control objective is achieved within the settling time, and does not exhibit Zeno behavior. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is illustrated by simulation results.
