For a class of switched nonlinear systems with unmatched external disturbances and unknown backlash-like hysteresis, an adaptive fuzzy-based control strategy is proposed to handle the anti-disturbance issue. The unmatched external disturbances come from a switched exosystem. Our aim is to achieve the output tracking performance and the disturbance attenuation by using the adaptive fuzzy-based composite anti-disturbance control technique. First, based on the fuzzy logics, we design a switching adaptive fuzzy disturbance observer to estimate unmatched external disturbances. Second, a composite switching adaptive anti-disturbance controller is constructed. By means of the backstepping technique, disturbance estimations are added in each virtual control to offset the unmatched disturbances, which results in the different coordinate transformations. At last, the availability of the proposed approach is illustrated by a mass-spring-damper system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, a decentralized adaptive finite-time tracking control scheme is proposed for a class of nonstrict feedback large-scale nonlinear interconnected systems with disturbances. First, a practical almost fast finite-time stability framework is established for a general nonlinear system, which is then applied to the design of the large-scale system under consideration. By fusing command filter technique and adaptive neural control and introducing two smooth functions, the “singular” and “explosion of complex” problems in the backstepping procedure are circumvented, while the obstacles caused by unknown interconnections are overcome. Moreover, according to the framework of practical almost fast finite-time stability, it is shown that all the closed-loop signals of the large-scale system are almost fast finite-time bounded, and the tracking errors can converge to arbitrarily small residual sets predefined in an almost fast finite time. Finally, a simulation example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed finite-time decentralized control scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
