Adaptive Fuzzy Control of Nonlinear Systems With Function Constraints Based on Time-Varying IBLFs

In this article, an adaptive tracking control approach is developed for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear systems with time-varying full state constraints. As a breakthrough in this system, the special function constraints (whose constraint boundary is relevant to both state variables and time) are considered, which are rarely studied by research work. And there is no doubt that this method increases the complexity of designing this scheme. Furthermore, the time-varying integral barrier Lyapunov functions combining with backstepping technique is introduced to break the limitation of traditional methods as well as achieve the full state constraints. Meanwhile, fuzzy logic systems are selected to approximate unknown nonlinear functions. It is verified that all closed-loop signals are bounded and all states are forced in the time-varying boundness. In addition, the proposed control strategy has a good performance. The effectiveness of the theoretical analysis results is proved via a simulation example.
