Abstract
This article investigates the adaptive event-triggered output-feedback control problem for a class of switched stochastic nonlinear systems with actuator faults. In the existing works, the developed results on adaptive control for switched stochastic nonlinear systems are almost based on the average dwell-time method, and how to construct a desired adaptive controller in the frame of the mode-dependent average dwell time (MDADT) remains a control dilemma. By presenting a general adaptive control rule based on the MDADT, this article implements the adaptive output-feedback control for the switched stochastic system under interest. In the process of controller design, fuzzy-logic systems, a flexible approximator, are utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions. The dynamic surface design approach is employed to avoid taking derivatives of the constructed virtual controls to decrease the difficulty of complex calculation greatly. Meanwhile, a switched observer is designed to estimate the unknown states. In the frame of backstepping design, an event-triggered-based adaptive output-feedback controller is constructed such that all signals existing in the closed-loop system are ultimately bounded under a class of switching signals with MDADT property. Finally, the simulation results show the validity of the proposed control strategy.
