For the data-driven multimodal multiobjective optimization problems (MMOPs), the inevitable uncertainties will lead to distortion of multiple peak landscapes, thus causing slow convergence in complex landscapes. To solve this problem, a robust multimodal multiobjective particle swarm optimization (RMMPSO) is designed to alleviate slow convergence. There are three novelties in RMMPSO....

This article studies the fuzzy adaptive event-triggered resilient formation (RF) control problem for nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) subject to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and input saturation. Fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) are adopted to identify unknown subsystems, and a fuzzy state estimator is established to address the issue resulted from unmeasurable states....

Batch processes are typically nonlinear systems with constraints. Model predictive control (MPC) and iterative learning control (ILC) are effective methods for controlling batch processes. By combining batch-wise ILC and time-wise MPC, this article proposes a multirate control scheme for constrained nonlinear systems. Two-dimensional (2-D) framework is used to combine historical...

This article concentrates on the distributed fault-tolerant control (FTC) issue for a herd of delayed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) subject to actuator faults, sensor faults, and full-state prescribed performance (FSPP). A novel distributed event-triggered observer is devised to reconstruct the leader’s states within a finite time, and a Zeno-free dynamic...

This article addresses the entry capture problem (ECP) of uncertain nonlinear systems under asymmetric performance constraints. We show that such ECP is commonly encountered in practice that has not been well addressed, whose tracking error is free from any performance constraints initially then is driven into the prescribed region in...

This article investigated the performance optimization tracking control problem of strict-feedback nonlinear systems with feature information. A performance-optimized adaptive tracking control framework is proposed, which utilizes local dynamic feature information for optimization while guaranteeing the prescribed performance. When partial system dynamics are available, a feature system with performance constraints is...
