Abstract
This article proposes a fault-tolerant adaptive multigradient recursive reinforcement learning (RL) event-triggered tracking control scheme for strict-feedback discrete-time multiagent systems. The multigradient recursive RL algorithm is used to avoid the local optimal problem that may exist in the gradient descent scheme. Different from the existing event-triggered control results, a new lemma about the relative threshold event-triggered control strategy is proposed to handle the compensation error, which can improve the utilization of communication resources and weaken the negative impact on tracking accuracy and closed-loop system stability. To overcome the difficulty caused by sensor fault, a distributed control method is introduced by adopting the adaptive compensation technique, which can effectively decrease the number of online estimation parameters. Furthermore, by using the multigradient recursive RL algorithm with less learning parameters, the online estimation time can be effectively reduced. The stability of closed-loop multiagent systems is proved by using the Lyapunov stability theorem, and it is verified that all signals are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded. Finally, two simulation examples are given to show the availability of the presented control scheme.
