Abstract
This paper develops an event-triggered optimal control method that can deal with asymmetric input constraints for nonlinear discrete-time systems. The implementation is based on an explainable global dual heuristic programming (XGDHP) technique. Different from traditional GDHP, the required derivatives of cost function in the proposed method are computed by explicit analytical calculations, which makes XGDHP more explainable. Besides, the challenge caused by the input constraints is overcome by the combination of a piece-wise utility function and a bounding layer of the actor network. Furthermore, an event-triggered mechanism is introduced to decrease the amount of computation, and the stability analysis is provided with fewer assumptions compared to most existing studies that investigate event-triggered discrete-time control using adaptive dynamic programming. Two simulation studies are carried out to demonstrate the applicability of the constructed approach. The results present that the developed event-triggered XGDHP algorithm can substantially save the computational load, while maintain comparable performance with the time-based approach.
