Adaptive leaderless consensus control of a class of strict feedback nonlinear systems with guaranteed transient performance under actuator faults

The problem of adaptive leaderless consensus control of a class of uncertain strict feedback nonlinear systems with guaranteed transient performance is investigated in this paper. The system model is a class of strict feedback nonlinear systems with parametric uncertainty, actuator fault and external disturbance. How to guarantee the transient performance of consensus error is involved. To solve this problem, the consensus is transmitted into stabilization of a new variable. Ultimately the consensus errors will asymptotically converge to zero and faster than a given exponentially converging variable. Finally, simulation results show the effectiveness of proposed control scheme.
