Abstract
This paper investigates the fixed-time adaptive event-triggered control problem for a class of nonlinear multiagent systems with full-state constraints. The problem of full-state constraints is solved for multiagent systems by utilising a one-to-one nonlinear mapping. The design conditions of the controllers are more easily satisfied than the existing barrier Lyapunov functions strategy. A fixed-time adaptive control scheme is proposed for unconstrained systems that are converted from constrained systems. In contract with the existing finite-time control schemes that rely on the initial states, this restriction condition can be removed in this paper. An improved event-triggered mechanism with an adaptable switching threshold is designed to provide flexible switching between fixed threshold and variable threshold policies, resulting in reduced execution and sampling. It is proved via the Lyapunov stability method that all signals of the closed-loop systems are semi-global practical fixed-time stable. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified by some simulation results.
