Abstract
This article is concerned with the dynamic event-triggered-based adaptive output-feedback tracking control problem of nonlinear multiagent systems with time-varying input delay. By utilizing the approximation capability of neural network (NN), a low-gain nonlinear observer is first established to estimate the immeasurable states. To mitigate the effect of time-varying input delay, an auxiliary system with communication information is designed to generate the compensation signals. Then, a distributed adaptive composite NN dynamic surface control (DSC) strategy is proposed to acquire the satisfactory tracking accuracy, where the filter errors are compensated by the introduced serial-parallel estimation model. Moreover, an effective switching dynamic event-triggered mechanism is developed to determine the communication instants and reduce the update frequency of the controller. It is proven that the consensus tracking error converges to a residual set of the origin. Finally, simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed composite NN DSC scheme.
