@article { , title = {Decentralized Output Sliding-Mode Fault-Tolerant Control for Heterogeneous Multiagent Systems}, abstract = {This paper proposes a novel decentralized output sliding-mode fault-tolerant control (FTC) design for heterogeneous multiagent systems (MASs) with matched disturbances, unmatched nonlinear interactions, and actuator faults. The respective iteration and iteration-free algorithms in the sliding-mode FTC scheme are designed with adaptive upper bounding laws to automatically compensate the matched and unmatched components. Then, a continuous fault-tolerant protocol in the observer-based integral sliding-mode design is developed to guarantee the asymptotic stability of MASs and the ultimate boundedness of the estimation errors. Simulation results validate the efficiency of the proposed FTC algorithm.}, doi = {10.1109/TCYB.2019.2912636}, eissn = {2168-2275}, issn = {2168-2267}, issue = {12}, journal = {IEEE transactions on cybernetics}, pages = {4934-4945}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers}, url = {https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/3219451}, volume = {50}, keyword = {Specialist Research - Other, Actuator faults, Decentralized output feedback, Heterogeneous multiagent systems (HMASs), Integral sliding mode control (SMC) , Sliding-mode fault-tolerant control (FTC)}, year = {2020}, author = {Liu, Chun and Jiang, Bin and Patton, Ron J. and Zhang, Ke} }
