This study investigatesthe neural‐network (NN)‐based adaptive decentralised controller design issue for a class of large‐scale non‐linear non‐strict‐feedback interconnected systems with time‐varying asymmetric output constraints and dead‐zone inputs. The existences of the non‐strict‐feedback structure, time‐varying asymmetric output constraints, and dead‐zone inputs lead to the construction of the controller of each subsystem is very difficult. By applying the inherent property of Gaussian functions employed in radical basis function NNs, the non‐strict‐feedback structure is skillfully handled, and the adaptive backstepping method is used to construct the desired controllers of all subsystems. Furthermore, Lyapunov stability analysis shows that all the signals of the closed‐loop system are ultimately bounded, and each subsystem output can converge to an arbitrarily small and predefined time‐varying range with the corresponding constraint is always satisfied by employing a barrier Lyapunov function. Finally, simulation results based on a practical example prove the effectiveness of the proposed design strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, the boundedness and the input‐to‐state stabilisation problems are investigated for a kind of switched delayed differential systems with exogenous disturbances. To reduce the communication burden, an event‐triggered strategy is adopted in the feedback control loop to stabilise the addressed switched delayed differential systems. The notions of boundedness and input‐to‐state practical stability are employed to characterise the control objectives in the presence of exogenous disturbances, switching signals and event‐triggered schemes. Some upper bounds on the system states are obtained and the Zeno phenomenon is shown to be excluded under the proposed event‐triggered scheme. The gain of the feedback controller, the parameters of the event‐triggering function and the switching signals are jointly designed for the underlying delayed differential systems. At last, a numerical example is exploited to given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the authors' developed control scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
