Event-triggered finite-time adaptive neural control for nonlinear non-strict-feedback time-delay systems with disturbances

This paper focuses on the tracking problem for a class of nonlinear time-delay systems with external disturbances in a non-strict-feedback structure, and an event-trigger-based finite-time adaptive neural controller is designed. Suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals are constructed to deal with the time-delay terms in this system. Combining the structural property of radial basis function neural networks and backstepping methodology, the...
