Adaptive neural event-dependent intermittent fault-tolerant control of reaction-diffusion multi-agent systems

This article employs an event-dependent intermittent fault-tolerant control approach to address the adaptive consensus of reaction-diffusion multi-agent systems under directed topologies in both leaderless and leader- following networks. Initially, an event-dependent intermittent control mechanism is proposed to determine the work/rest time, relying on three partitions of the non-negative real region and the formulated Lyapunov function. Subsequently, under the introduced control mechanism, an adaptive consensus protocol is established, incorporating the updating law for adaptive coupling strength and adaptive weight estimation. Utilizing the neural network estimation theorem for fault estimation, the article presents explicit criteria to ensure the attainment of leaderless or leader-following consensus in reaction-diffusion multi-agent systems. Finally, two numerical simulation experiments are conducted to validate the robustness and effectiveness of the derived theorem.
