Global Distributed Fault-Tolerant Consensus Control of Nonlinear Delayed Multiagent Systems With Hybrid Faults
Abstract
This article is concerned with the distributed leader-following fault-tolerant consensus control problem of uncertain nonlinear delayed multiagent systems with hybrid faults including actuator faults and sensor faults. The faults are described as unknown time-varying functions, which can cause uncertain changes in the fault coefficients of sensors and actuators. In this case, we put forward a novel distributed consensus algorithm. First, we transform the consensus problem into the stability one of a single system by utilizing the sensor fault model and directed topology. Then, the dynamic gain is devised to compensate for uncertain parameters. Based on the backstepping control method, a distributed dynamic controller is designed via measurement data of nonideal sensors. By means of a new Lyapunov function, it is strictly proved that the designed controller can render all agents realizing the full-state consensus in the global sense. Moreover, the proposed algorithm allows that nonlinear dynamics include the state delays, and can be expanded to a fully distributed result. Finally, an example of application in chemical reactor systems is presented to confirm the effectiveness of our theoretical results.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
