Reinforcement learning-based interval event-triggered distributed synergetic control of uncertain coupled nonlinear system
摘要
This paper proposes a novel distributed learning control framework for multi-agent systems characterized by uncertain coupled nonlinearities in communication-constrained environments. The framework aims to address the core challenges of achieving robust performance and state synchronization amidst complex state-dependent couplings and external disturbances, without relying on continuous communication. The core of the proposed framework lies in constructing a unified interval modeling and control optimization architecture. Specifically, Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks are utilized to real-time identify unknown boundaries of nonlinear coupling effects, which are then characterized as time-varying intervals. Based on this interval characterization, an interval-aware Multi-Agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (MADDPG) algorithm is designed. This algorithm drives agents to learn robust control policies capable of actively suppressing the worst-case impacts of the uncertain intervals. Furthermore, the framework incorporates a hybrid event-triggered mechanism. This mechanism optimizes the interplay between a state-adaptive threshold and a consensus-based triggering condition, significantly reducing communication requirements while strictly guaranteeing system stability and synchronization accuracy. Theoretical analysis rigorously proves the Input-to-State Stability (ISS) of the closed-loop system and the absence of Zeno phenomenon. Simulation results on a position-pressure-temperature coupled nonlinear multi-agent system demonstrate that the proposed framework maintains precise state synchronization while significantly reducing communication overhead.
