Speech Title: Model-free optimization control
Abstract:
This talk focuses on the research on key techniques of model-free optimization control . Three control strategies are designed by using finite-time control method, disturbance estimation method combined with extended state observer and adaptive dynamic programming method. Three event-triggered mechanisms are constructed via introducing finite-time parameter, true and estimated tracking errors, and instantaneous and average data. Sufficient conditions are proposed to ensure the ultimately uniform boundedness of the resultant closed-loop error systems. Several examples are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
