Abstract
This paper investigates the containment control problem for fractional-order nonlinear heterogeneous multi-agent systems with stochastic dynamics and actuator faults. The design of a distributed fuzzy adaptive controller will be implemented in order to cope with such large uncertainties which can be explained by all uncertain nonlinearities, stochastic interferences and limited inputs. To address the issues of uncertainty in the membership functions, the interval type-II (IT2) fuzzy set is used. Also, stochastic differential equations are used for the description of random perturbations, and actuator faults, using a fault-tolerant approach. In order to overcome these difficulties, the matrix equality and matrix inequality are used throughout the presented algorithms. The specified controller only uses information from the local neighborhood of agents; therefore, its practical implementation is unproblematic. Moreover, simulation examples are given to illustrate that the proposed control strategy is efficient and convincing.
