Abstract
In this article, the adaptive bipartite containment control problem is investigated for stochastic nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) with an event-triggered mechanism. It is known that the dynamic surface control method suffers from the mismatch between the virtual controller and the filter output. To address this issue, a novel error compensator is designed. Meanwhile, motivated by their universal approximation capability, fuzzy-logic systems (FLSs) are employed to identify the plants’ unknown nonlinear characteristics. To reduce the communication overhead, a distributed event-triggered control scheme is designed based on an estimate of unknown gain sign’s reciprocal. Leveraging the stochastic Lyapunov stability theory and backstepping design technique, it is proved that 1) the output responses of followers converge to a convex hull formed by those of the leaders and their symmetric ones; 2) all signals in the closed-loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded in probability (SGUUBP); and 3) there is no Zeno behavior. Finally, simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
