This article is focused on the stabilization and control of variable fractional-order (VFO) neutral delay systems with time-varying structured uncertainties and delays. Using the Lyapunov theorem, the delay- and order-dependent stability criterion of both the nominal and uncertain VFO systems of neutral-type with time-varying delays are derived using a set...

In this article, a dual event-triggered (ET)-based fault-tolerant attitude flexible performance tracking control problem is studied for the satellite with input saturation, actuator fault and external disturbance. To make the prescribed performance function (PPF) be adjusted only when the attitude tracking error of the satellite violates the PPF, a predictive...

The assurance of faster transient response rate, higher steady-state tracking accuracy, and global adaptability are crucial for enhancing the efficiency and robustness of manipulators during operation. This article explores a novel fuzzy adaptive predefined-time controller based on global prescribed performance for robotic systems with unknown dynamics and bounded disturbances. First,...

This article focuses on the mean-square exponential stability of networked stochastic systems with time delays (NSSTDs) under nonlinear coupling and deception attacks, employing a sampled-data control strategy. A generalized Halanay inequality for NSSTDs is proposed to investigate the stability of the closed-loop system, where multiple time delays with different bounds...

This article aims to derive an adaptive optimal speed regulator for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) affected by both disturbances and actuator faults. Load torque is first modeled as a mismatched disturbance, where its estimation via a disturbance observer is drawn to construct an error system. Then, optimal speed regulation...

Achieving full state regulation within a prescribed-time for uncertain nonlinear systems under any initial condition is rather challenging although highly desirable, whereas most existing prescribed-time control results are literally contingent upon infinite feedback gain at the equilibrium. This article presents a new prescribed-time control design method that is able to...
