Adaptive fuzzy output-feedback event-triggered control for fractional-order nonlinear system.

This paper studies the issue of adaptive fuzzy output-feedback event-triggered control (ETC) for a fractional-order nonlinear system (FONS). The considered fractional-order system is subject to unmeasurable states. Fuzzy-logic systems (FLSs) are used to approximate unknown nonlinear functions, and a fuzzy state observer is founded to estimate the unmeasurable states. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov functions and utilizing the backstepping dynamic surface control (DSC) design technique, an adaptive fuzzy output-feedback ETC scheme is developed to reduce the usage of communication resources. It is proved that the controlled fractional-order system is stable, the tracking and observer errors are able to converge to a neighborhood of zero, and the Zeno phenomenon is excluded. A simulation example is given to verify the availability of the proposed ETC algorithm.
