Abstract
This paper concerns the fixed-time control with an arbitrarily prescribed upper bound of settling-time (UBST) for nonlinear systems with asymmetric output constraints. We introduce a novel time-varying gain function that effectively addresses the issue of infinite-gain, which has been a challenge in related research. By utilizing this gain function, we present two theorems that employ the Lyapunov function for constrained nonlinear systems. These theorems serve as guidelines for constructing controllers without violation of constraints. In addition, a novel barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) is exploited which is equivalent to the classical one for nonlinear systems without constraints. By using the proposed theorems, BLF and fixed-time backstepping design procedure, a state-feedback controller is constructed and analyzed for output-constrained nonlinear systems. It is proved that the designed controller can render the closed-loop system converges to the origin within a fixed settling time while maintaining at the origin thereafter, the controller is uniformly bounded and the output constraints are not violated. Finally, simulations and comparisons are provided to verify the proposed control schemes.
期刊介绍:
Automatica is a leading archival publication in the field of systems and control. The field encompasses today a broad set of areas and topics, and is thriving not only within itself but also in terms of its impact on other fields, such as communications, computers, biology, energy and economics. Since its inception in 1963, Automatica has kept abreast with the evolution of the field over the years, and has emerged as a leading publication driving the trends in the field.
After being founded in 1963, Automatica became a journal of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) in 1969. It features a characteristic blend of theoretical and applied papers of archival, lasting value, reporting cutting edge research results by authors across the globe. It features articles in distinct categories, including regular, brief and survey papers, technical communiqués, correspondence items, as well as reviews on published books of interest to the readership. It occasionally publishes special issues on emerging new topics or established mature topics of interest to a broad audience.
Automatica solicits original high-quality contributions in all the categories listed above, and in all areas of systems and control interpreted in a broad sense and evolving constantly. They may be submitted directly to a subject editor or to the Editor-in-Chief if not sure about the subject area. Editorial procedures in place assure careful, fair, and prompt handling of all submitted articles. Accepted papers appear in the journal in the shortest time feasible given production time constraints.
