Abstract

The problem of fixed-time adaptive event-triggered control for uncertain nonlinear systems with input hysteresis is investigated. An adaptive dynamic threshold event-triggered control scheme is proposed to schedule the update of control signals and realize the online compensation of input hysteresis. Furthermore, a fixed-time adaptive event-triggered controller is proposed based on the fixed-time stability theorem. The controller can ensure that the tracking error converges into a small and adjustable set in a fixed time, and the convergence time is independent of the initial system states. Meanwhile, all the closed-loop signals are bounded, and the Zeno behavior is excluded. Finally, the feasibility of the method is verified by some simulation examples.
