Approximation-Based Fixed-Time Adaptive Tracking Control for a Class of Uncertain Nonlinear Pure-Feedback Systems by Cheng He, Jian Wu, Jiyang Dai, Zhe Zhang, Libin Xu, Pinwei Li

“…Radial basis function neural networks are introduced to approximate unknown functions for solving the fixed-time control problem of unknown nonlinear pure-feedback systems, and the mean value theorem is used to solve the problem of nonaffine structure in nonlinear pure-feedback systems. The controllers designed in this paper ensure that all signals in the closed-loop system are semiglobally uniform and ultimately bounded in a fixed time. …”
