First, a mathematical model of coupled MNNs exhibiting both cooperative and competitive interactions is formulated based on directed signed graph theory. To handle the antagonistic nature of these interactions, an orthogonal transformation is employed to develop a formally unified error system. Then, a switching event-triggered scheme (SETS) is designed, which leverages the coopetitive relationships among nodes to reduce communication costs. Meanwhile, a gain-scheduled controller, which incorporates the cooperative-competitive relationships is designed to achieve the BS. Specifically, the controller consists of both linear and nonlinear components: the linear component ensures system stability, while the nonlinear component compensates for residual terms arising from the heterogeneous structure of MNNs. Furthermore, the nonlinear control gains are scheduled via a function that depends on the error state, its derivative, and the sampled error, thereby reducing the conservatism of the synchronization conditions. A piecewise interval-dependent Lyapunov functional tailored to the characteristics of SETS is constructed. By employing inequality techniques, sufficient conditions for BS are derived in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), enabling the joint design of the linear control gains and the triggering matrix. To validate the proposed method, both a numerical example and a potential practical application are provided. In addition, two comparative studies are conducted to highlight the advantages of the proposed SETS and the interval-dependent Lyapunov functional, respectively.","PeriodicalId":48915,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Systems Man Cybernetics-Systems","volume":"55 10","pages":"6951-6963"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145100400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By introducing a first-order filter, a mapping relationship between sensor faults and actuator faults is established, and an augmented system is constructed by integrating system state and filter output. Through the incorporation of robust adaptive terms, an output-based fault observer is developed to online identify sensor fault information, ensuring that observation errors converge asymptotically to zero. For optimal STC realization, an augmented tracking system is constructed by integrating the dynamics of tracking error, reference trajectory, and filter output. A modified cost function is designed to explicitly include sensor fault estimation and a discount factor based on the augmented tracking system. Then, the optimal STC strategy is derived by solving the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation using an adaptive critic structure with two tuned laws cooperatively.

Additionally, in our TVO method, a norm-normalized signum function is introduced to compensate for the internal drift of the system using its discontinuity.

During the plan process, command filtering backstepping scheme is used to avoid the use of nonsmooth states. Subsequently, in order to ensure the boundedness of a series of errors caused by continuous original states for stability analysis and discontinuous quantization states for control, a sufficiently smooth fractional-order projection operator is proposed. In addition, the fractional-order uniformly bounded criterion has been established and strictly proven, which solves the problem of uniformly bounded error signals in the fractional-order sense under the premise of known parameter boundedness. Thus, the boundedness of all closed-loop signals is ensured by the fractional-order uniformly bounded criterion.

First, a multitime scale integrated optimal control (MTSIOC) framework, including a time scale collaborative objective function, is established. Then, multitime scales of nonlinear systems are coordinated to the fast time scale to ensure real-time optimization and control. Second, to address the problem of low accuracy in predicting fast time scale model driven by the slow time scale data information, a data-knowledge-driven prediction model is introduced to predict the future dynamics of the system at the fast time scale. Furthermore, a knowledge compensation strategy is designed to supplement missing fast time scale specific information. Third, a collaborative optimization algorithm is utilized to solve the setpoints and control laws simultaneously. Besides, the convergence of the data and knowledge-driven prediction model and stability of DK-MTSIOC are proved.
