Global finite-time output feedback stabilisation for a class of uncertain nontriangular nonlinear systems

This article addresses the problem of global finite-time output feedback stabilisation for a class of nonlinear systems in nontriangular form with an unknown output function. Since the output function is not precisely known, traditional observers based on the output is not implementable. We first design a state observer and use the observer states to construct a controller to globally stabilise the nominal system without the perturbing nonlinearities. Then, we apply the homogeneous domination approach to design a scaled homogeneous observer and controller with an appropriate choice of gain to render the nonlinear system globally finite-time stable.     

Finite-time stabilization of output-constrained planar switched systems via output feedback

Finite-time stabilization (FTS) problem of output-constrained planar switched systems via output feedback is investigated in this paper. State feedback control laws are constructed in a systematic way by combining the revamped adding a power integrator technique (APIT) with the elaborately designed logarithm-type barrier Lyapunov function (BLF). By merging the constructed variable-gain switched observers, finite-time output-feedback stabilization, then, is achieved with the output constraint meets too. At the end, simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A simulation example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

Adaptive neural output feedback finite-time command filtered backstepping control for nonlinear systems with full-state constraints

In this paper, an adaptive neural finite-time control method via barrier Lyapunov function, command filtered backstepping, and output feedback is proposed to solve the tracking problem of uncertain high-order nonlinear systems with full-state constraints and input saturation. By utilizing the neural network (NN) to approximate unknown nonlinear functions, the finite-time command filters are used to filtering the virtual control signals and get the intermediate control signals in a finite time in the backstepping process. Because there are errors between the output of finite-time command filters and the virtual control signals, the error compensation signals are added to eliminate the influence of filtering errors. Based on the proposed control scheme, the states of the system can be constrained in the predetermined region, all signals in the system are bounded in finite time, and the tracking error can converge to the desired region in finite time. At last, a simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Input–output finite-time stabilisation of nonlinear stochastic system with missing measurements

This paper considers the problem of the input–output finite-time stabilisation for a class of nonlinear stochastic system with state-dependent noise. The phenomenon of the missing measurements may occur when state signals are transmitted via communication networks. An estimating method is proposed to compensate the lost state information. And then, a compensator-based controller is designed to ensure the input–output finite-time stochastic stability (IO-FTSS) of the closed-loop system. Some parameters-dependent sufficient conditions are derived and the corresponding solving approach is given. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the developed IO-FTSS scheme.     

Output feedback stabilisation for nonlinear systems with unknown output function and control coefficients and its application

This paper solves the problem of output feedback stabilisation for nonlinear systems with unknown output function and control coefficients. Since output function is Lipschitz continuous but not necessary derivable, the maximal sector region of output function is given. As long as output function belongs to the sector, an output feedback controller can be designed to render the closed-loop system globally asymptotically stable. The effectiveness of controller is demonstrated by two examples.     

Disturbance-observer-based adaptive finite-time dynamic surface control for PMSM with time-varying asymmetric output constraint

This article presents a disturbance-observer-based adaptive finite-time dynamic surface control scheme, capable of guaranteeing transient behavior for the PMSM with arbitrary asymmetric time-varying output constraint and unmatched external disturbance. The major challenge of this paper is devising efficient strategies to tackle the nonsymmetric output restraints with arbitrary characteristics and unmatched external perturbation for the system under the finite-time backstepping framework. Given this, a nonlinear transformation function is adopted to coordinate from the output-constrained dynamic model to an uncontained one, and a finite-time disturbance observer is introduced to evaluate the unmatched external perturbation. Then, a dynamic surface control approach having adaptive properties for PMSM is conceived by combing a neural network to evaluate the nonlinear functions and a first-order filter to handle the “explosion of complexity.” Additionally, it is proved that the signals in the closed-loop system can narrow down to a bounded region and the tracking error can merge in a limited time to tiny vicinity of zero by employing a fast finite-time stability principle. Eventually, simulation cases and contrast results reveal the tracking performance and immunity to the disturbance of the devised controller.     

Global finite-time control for a class of switched nonlinear systems with different powers via output feedback

This paper is concerned with the problem of global finite-time control for switched nonlinear systems whose nonlinear terms satisfy homogenous growth conditions. At first, we design homogenous output feedback controllers for nominal switched nonlinear systems by adding a power integrator method. Then, we employ the homogeneous domination approach to scale homogeneous observers and controllers to render switched nonlinear systems with lower-triangular homogenous growth condition globally finite-time stable. Finally, the proposed control method can be extended to switched nonlinear systems satisfying with upper-triangular homogeneous growth condition. Two examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

Distributed fuzzy adaptive event-triggered finite-time consensus tracking control for uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems with asymmetric output constraint

This article investigates the consensus problem for uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) with asymmetric output constraint. Different from BLF-based constraint consensus tracking control, a novel approach based on nonlinear state-dependent function is proposed to solve the asymmetric output constraint, which need not convert output constraint into tracking error bound. First-order sliding mode differentiator is incorporated into each step of backstepping control design to reduce computation burden. Further, in combination of proposed event-triggered mechanism based on time-varying threshold, a distributed fuzzy adaptive event-triggered finite-time consensus method is developed. It can ensure that the consensus tracking error tends to a small neighbor in a finite time and the asymmetric output constraint of each subsystem is not violated. Two simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of control method.

Global finite-time stabilisation by output feedback for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems

This article considers the problem of global finite-time stabilisation by output feedback for a class of nonlinear systems comprised of a chain of power integrators perturbed by an uncertain vector field. To solve the problem, we first construct a homogeneous observer and controller in a recursive way for the nominal system without the perturbing nonlinearities. Then, using the homogeneous domination approach, we scale the homogeneous observer and controller with an appropriate choice of gain to render the uncertain nonlinear system globally finite-time stable. Due to the use of a reduced-order observer, the proposed output feedback controller is applicable to those systems with unknown gains associated with the power integrators.
