Prescribed Performance Control for Multiple Parametric Strict Feedback Systems With Unknown Control Coefficients

This paper investigates the problem of prescribed performance control (PPC) for multiple parametric strict feedback (PSF) systems with unknown control coefficients in switching topologies. The synchronization error is regulated into the prescribed performance constraints within a user-given time, and agents’ outputs are synchronized accurately; furthermore, the results are independent of initial values. Compared with existing research with the same problem formulation, this paper investigates a more general case, reduces the communication load, and obtains a global result. The numerical simulations confirm the feasibility of the control algorithm presented.
