Event-triggered tracking control for nonlinear time-varying delay systems with full state constraints and unknown control coefficients

This paper addresses the problem of event-triggered control for a class of nonlinear systems with unknown control coefficients, time-varying delays, full state constraints and external disturbances, simultaneously. Firstly, based on integral Barrier-Lyapunov Functionals, an adaptive event-triggered controller is designed to account for the impacts of complete state constraints, unknown time-varying delays and external disturbances. Using fuzzy logic systems, the unknown functions of systems are then roughly estimated. The system redundancy can be significantly reduced by implementing the event-triggered control technique in the meanwhile. By introducing the separation technique and Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals, it is shown that the strategy can ensure tracking performance greatly and all the closed-loop signals of the system are bounded. Compared with the existing results, the proposed design scheme is less conservative and has a wilder application range. Finally, the simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
