Distributed Estimator-Based Fuzzy Containment Control for Nonlinear Multiagent Systems With Deferred Constraints

In this article, we concentrate on the adaptive fuzzy containment control approach for a class of nonlinear multiagent systems with deferred constraint and actuator failure. First, considering that not all agents can directly receive the leader signals, this article constructs a distributed prescribed-time estimator to provide each agent with a corresponding reference signal, thereby the containment problem is constructed as a tracking problem. Subsequently, with the help of the prescribed-time scaling function and the barrier function, the problem of deferred output constraint is reformulated as a boundedness problem of the new variable. By introducing several useful lemmas, the designed controller can ensure…
