By integrating the merits of three advanced control approaches, a novel aperiodic intermittent dynamic event-triggered mechanism is developed to further save network resources. Moreover, the developed mechanism is only executed during the working interval of each intermittent period, and the communication instants are determined by a predefined discrete triggering condition, while the internal dynamic variable can be adjusted adaptively with random sampling signals. By fully taking the information of semi-Markov switching parameters, virtual delay, and internal dynamic variables into account, a general Lyapunov functional is constructed to depict the dynamical evaluation of systems. Then, two less-conservative consensus criteria are derived by virtue of the developed control mechanism, the general Lyapunov functional, and other analysis methods. In the end, two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in reducing the waste of network resources.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50347,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing","volume":"40 6","pages":"1321-1336"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148194087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to address the limitations of slow convergence rates and excessive overshoot in existing controllers by introducing a novel control strategy to attain rapid and stable convergence performances. Firstly, a control-oriented parameterized model for a dual-chamber system is established to address the limitations of low electricity generation and slow convergence of system state variables in single-chamber models. Then, a sliding mode controller with a novel reaching law is designed, and its fixed-time stability is proven by using Lyapunov stability theory. A principal advantage of this methodology resides in its convergence rate being unaffected by initialization states. Finally, an improved chaos game optimization algorithm is introduced to tune the controller parameters, ensuring acquisition of optimum parameter combinations within designated boundaries. Numerical simulations validate the model's reliability and the fixed-time sliding mode control scheme exhibits superior performance compared with the alternative algorithms concerning convergence rapidity, overshoot suppression, and steady-state precision. The dual-chamber model and fixed-time sliding mode controller provide technical support for further applications of MFCs in wastewater treatment.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50347,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing","volume":"40 6","pages":"1262-1278"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148193965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike existing studies on denial-of-service attacks (DoS), the system dynamics in this paper are unknown. Since the system dynamics are unknown and both input and output signals are affected by DoS attacks, system variables are not directly observable. To address this issue, a fuzzy observer with switchable gains is proposed. In contrast to conventional DoS attacks research, both input and output signals in this work are quantized prior to transmission, rendering traditional backstepping control methods inapplicable. To solve this problem, the following steps are proposed: Firstly, an auxiliary intermediate controller is designed using the unquantized states. Secondly, by replacing the unquantized states with quantized states in the auxiliary intermediate controller, the intermediate controller and the actual controller are obtained. Thirdly, to compensate for the impact of quantization errors, Lemma 4 is introduced, and the control strategies are first proposed to guarantee the stability of the nonlinear system in the presence of DoS attacks.

Then, for the unknown resistance parameters and bounded additional resistance, a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) based adaptive control scheme is investigated to realize the cooperative operation of trains. By incorporating the event-triggered mechanism, the communication source between the controller and actuator can be saved by reducing unnecessary controller updating. In addition, the stability condition of virtual coupling train systems is presented by the convergence analysis of the synthetic tracking error.

The first is a constraint-aware HNN that enforces linear equalities and inequalities (via slack neurons) and continuously tracks the constrained least-squares target. The second augments the state with compensation neurons and a concatenated regressor to absorb bias-like disturbance components within the same energy function. For both estimators, we establish global uniform ultimate boundedness with explicit convergence rate and ultimate bound, and we derive practical tuning rules that link the three design gains to closed-loop bandwidth and steady-state accuracy. We also introduce an online identifiability monitor that adapts the constraint weight and time step, and, when needed, projects updates onto identifiable subspaces to prevent drift in poorly excited directions. A two-degree-of-freedom mass-spring-damper study with Monte Carlo trials compares the proposed HNN estimators against projector-based recursive least squares, disturbance-aware projector-based Kalman filtering, and disturbance-aware projector-based moving-horizon estimation.
