Fully Adaptive Practical Time-Varying Output Formation Tracking for High-Order Nonlinear Stochastic Multiagent System With Multiple Leaders.

Fully adaptive practical time-varying output formation tracking issues of high-order nonlinear stochastic multiagent systems with multiple leaders are researched, where the adaptive fuzzy-logic system (FLS) is introduced for estimating the mismatched integrated uncertain items. Distinctive with former results, stochastic noise is considered in the dynamics, and the followers are required for achieving the time-varying output formation tracking in probability of the convex combination of the leaders' outputs. First, a fully adaptive practical time-varying output formation tracking protocol is put forward, which only utilizes the neighboring relative information, and the global interaction topology information is not used. Besides, the designed protocol employs the adaptive FLSs to estimate the mismatched uncertainties of the followers and the leaders, and the uncertain boundary functions of the stochastic noise. Then, the design process of control protocol and parameter adaptive update law is summarized within four steps in an algorithm. Third, the stability and the properties of the proposed protocol and algorithm are analyzed by employing the Lyapunov theories and stochastic stability theories. Finally, numerical simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of achieved protocol and algorithm.
