A novel network-based adaptive fault-tolerant control of switched nonlinear systems subject to multiple faults under prescribed performance

It is the first report about fault -tolerant -based prescribed performance control of switched nonlinear systems under multiple faults. The concerned faults include not only external faults but also actuator faults. In the process of backstepping control design, prescribed performance control is fully considered, and the combination of unknown nonlinear functions is estimated by multi -dimensional Taylor network. Finally, the developed adaptive fault -tolerant control strategy guarantees the boundedness of all controlled signals while prescribed tracking performance is satisfied. In an effort to further manifest the validity of the fault -tolerant controller, a numerical simulation and a practical simulation are introduced.
