Abstract: This paper investigates the optimal tracking control problem (OTCP) for continuous-time non-linear systems with input constraints. A novel event-triggered single-network adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) method is proposed to obtain the solution of constrained OTCP. By constructing an augmented system and introducing a novel discounted non-quadratic cost function, an event-triggered constrained tracking Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation is formulated. Then, only a critic neural network (NN) is employed to learn the optimal value function and further obtain the optimal tracking controller, which enables the architecture of ADP implementation to be simpler. And a novel NN weights updating law is constructed, by which the restriction of initial admissible control is removed. Based on the Lyapunov theory, the convergence of critic NN weights and the stability of closed-loop system are demonstrated. The derived optimal tracking controller is updated only at the event-triggered instants decided by the designed event-triggered condition. Therefore, the communication burden can be reduced effectively. Finally, two simulation examples are given to verify the effectiveness of proposed method.
