Neural network adaptive control for nonlinear nonnegative dynamical systems

Nonnegative and compartmental dynamical system models are derived from mass and energy balance considerations that involve dynamic states whose values are nonnegative. These models are widespread in engineering and life sciences and typically involve the exchange of nonnegative quantities between subsystems or compartments wherein each compartment is assumed to be kinetically homogeneous. In this paper, we develop a full-state feedback neural adaptive control framework for adaptive set-point regulation of nonlinear uncertain nonnegative and compartmental systems. The proposed framework is Lyapunov-based and guarantees ultimate boundedness of the error signals corresponding to the physical system states and the neural network weighting gains. In addition, the neural adaptive controller guarantees that the physical system states remain in the nonnegative orthant of the state-space for nonnegative initial conditions.

Robust stability of a class of uncertain nonlinear dynamical systems with time-varying delay

We consider the problem of robust stability of a class of uncertain nonlinear dynamical systems with time-varying delay. Based on the assumption that the nominal system (i.e. the system in the absence of uncertainty and delay) is stable, we derive some sufficient conditions on robust stability of uncertain nonlinear dynamical systems with time-varying delay. Some analytical methods and the Bellman-Gronwall inequality are used to investigate such sufficient conditions. The notable features of the results obtained in this paper are their simplicity in testing the stability of uncertain dynamical systems with delay and their clarity in giving an insight into system analysis. Our results are also applicable to perturbed time-delay dynamical systems without exact knowledge of the delay. In addition, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the validity of our results.

Neural network-based adaptive dynamic surface control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems in strict-feedback form

The dynamic surface control (DSC) technique was developed recently by Swaroop et al. This technique simplified the backstepping design for the control of nonlinear systems in strict-feedback form by overcoming the problem of "explosion of complexity." It was later extended to adaptive backstepping design for nonlinear systems with linearly parameterized uncertainty. In this paper, by incorporating this design technique into a neural network based adaptive control design framework, we have developed a backstepping based control design for a class of nonlinear systems in strict-feedback form with arbitrary uncertainty. Our development is able to eliminate the problem of "explosion of complexity" inherent in the existing method. In addition, a stability analysis is given which shows that our control law can guarantee the uniformly ultimate boundedness of the solution of the closed-loop system, and make the tracking error arbitrarily small.

Another feature of this scheme is that the neural networks reconstruction error bound is assumed to be unknown and can be estimated online. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Robust adaptive neural control for a class of uncertain MIMO nonlinear systems

In this paper, a novel robust adaptive neural control scheme is proposed for a class of uncertain multi-input multi-output nonlinear systems. The proposed scheme has the following main features: (1) a kind of Hurwitz condition is introduced to handle the state-dependent control gain matrix and some assumptions in existing schemes are relaxed; (2) by introducing a novel matrix normalisation technique, it is shown that all bound restrictions imposed on the control gain matrix in existing schemes can be removed; (3) the singularity problem is avoided without any extra effort, which makes the control law quite simple. Besides, with the aid of the minimal learning parameter technique, only one parameter needs to be updated online regardless of the system input–output dimension and the number of neural network nodes. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

RCMAC-based adaptive control for uncertain nonlinear systems.

An adaptive control system, using a recurrent cerebellar model articulation controller (RCMAC) and based on a sliding mode technique, is developed for uncertain nonlinear systems. The proposed dynamic structure of RCMAC has superior capability to the conventional static cerebellar model articulation controller in an efficient learning mechanism and dynamic response. Temporal relations are embedded in RCMAC by adding feedback connections in the association memory space so that the RCMAC provides a dynamical structure. The proposed control system consists of an adaptive RCMAC and a compensated controller. The adaptive RCMAC is used to mimic an ideal sliding mode controller, and the compensated controller is designed to compensate for the approximation error between the ideal sliding mode controller and the adaptive RCMAC. The online adaptive laws of the control system are derived based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, so that the stability of the system can be guaranteed. In addition, in order to relax the requirement of the approximation error bound, an estimation law is derived to estimate the error bound. Finally, the simulation and experimental studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme for the nonlinear systems with unknown dynamic functions.     

Robust adaptive NN control for a class of uncertain discrete-time nonlinear MIMO systems

A robust adaptive NN output feedback control is proposed to control a class of uncertain discrete-time nonlinear multi-input–multi-output (MIMO) systems. The high-order neural networks are utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions in the systems. Compared with the previous research for discrete-time MIMO systems, robustness of the proposed adaptive algorithm is obvious improved. Using Lyapunov stability theorem, the results show all the signals in the closed-loop system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded, and the tracking errors converge to a small neighborhood of zero by choosing the design parameters appropriately.     

State observer-based adaptive fuzzy output-feedback control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems

This paper aims to develop state observer-based adaptive fuzzy control techniques for controlling a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with bounded external disturbances. An adaptive fuzzy observer is proposed to estimate the system state variables. It is shown that the observation errors obtained from the observer are uniformly ultimately bounded. Applying the estimated system state for design of an output-feedback controller, the uniformly ultimate boundedness of the tracking errors for the resulting closed-loop system can be guaranteed. A typical robot arm system is employed in our simulation studies, and the results demonstrate the usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed techniques for controlling nonlinear systems with bounded external disturbances.     

Disturbance-observer-based sampled-data adaptive output feedback control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems

In this paper, a sampled-data adaptive output feedback controller is proposed for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with unmeasured states, unknown dynamics and unknown time-varying external disturbances. To approximate uncertain nonlinear functions, radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) are employed. The state observer and the disturbance observer (DO) are constructed to estimate the unmeasured state and the external disturbance, respectively. Then, the sampled-data adaptive output feedback controller and adaptive laws are designed by using the backstepping design technique. The allowable sampling period T is derived to guarantee that all states of the resulting closed-loop system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded. Finally, two simulation examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
