Abstract
In this paper, an adaptive tracking control approach is developed for full-state constrained switched nonlinear systems that have actuator saturation, periodic disturbances and unknown control direction. To deal with the full-state constraints, the Barrier Lyapunov functions are introduced to limit the state variables within the corresponding constraint conditions. Meanwhile, the Fourier series expansion technology is employed to deal with unknown periodic disturbances and unknown nonlinear dynamics jointly. Additionally, a Nussbaum-type function is used in the controller design to cope with the and unknown control gain and input saturation. On the basis of the Lyapunov stability theory, it is demonstrated rigorously that all signals of the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded, and the proposed controller ensures that the tracking error is kept within a compact set close to zero. In the end, the validity of the designed control protocol is verified by a simulation example.
