Data-Driven Event-Triggered Adaptive Dynamic Programming Control for Nonlinear Systems with Input Saturation

This article is devoted to data-driven event-triggered adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) control for nonlinear systems under input saturation. A global optimal data-driven control law is established by the ADP method with a modified index. Compared with the existing constant penalty factor, a dynamic version is constructed to accelerate error convergence. A new triggering mechanism covering existing results as special cases is set up to reduce redundant triggering events caused by emergent factors. The uniformly ultimate boundedness of error system is established by the Lyapunov method. The validity of the presented scheme is verified by two examples.
