Nearly Optimal Integral Sliding-Mode Consensus Control for Multiagent Systems With Disturbances.

This article considers integral sliding-mode control (ISMC) for multiagent systems with matched disturbances through adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) method. A distributed disturbance observer (DDO) is designed for each agent to generate the disturbance estimation. Using the disturbance estimation, an ISMC scheme is proposed to reject the input disturbance and obtain the equivalent local neighbor consensus sliding-mode dynamics. Then, a discount performance function is designed for each agent, and ADP technique is utilized to address the optimal consensus control for the equivalent sliding-mode dynamics online. Based on the gradient descent algorithm, we propose the adaptive weight tuning laws for the critic-actor neural networks (NNs) to carry out the ADP method. Furthermore, the local neighbor consensus errors and the weight estimation errors for the critic-actor NNs are proved to be uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB). Finally, the practical example is applied to validate the effectiveness of our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
