摘要

In this paper, a decentralized adaptive backstepping control scheme is proposed for a class of interconnected systems with nonlinear multisource disturbances and actuator faults. The nonlinear multisource disturbances comprise of two parts: one is the time-varying parameterized uncertainty; the other is the dynamic unexpected signal formulated by a nonlinear exogenous system. For each subsystem, the disturbances are compensated by an adaptive controller based on several dynamic signals and the bound estimation approach. Moreover, the effect of the actuator faults is tackled in spite of the fact that the faults may change in different cases infinite times. Meanwhile, through several smooth functions, the interactions among the subsystems are successfully disposed. As a result, the tracking errors can converge to an arbitrarily small value by choosing the design parameters appropriately. The proof of the closed-loop system stability is completed. Several illustrative examples are employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
