Global finite-time output feedback stabilisation for a class of switched high-order nonlinear systems

This paper studies the problem of global finite-time output feedback stabilisation for a class of switched high-order nonlinear systems under arbitrary switchings. Based on adding one power integrator technique, we design a common homogeneous controller to guarantee finite-time stability of the closed-loop switched nonlinear system. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

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.     

Global finite-time stabilization by dynamic output feedback for a class of continuous nonlinear systems

This note studies the problem of global finite-time stabilization by dynamic output feedback for a class of continuous but nonsmooth nonlinear systems. By extending the adding-a-power-integrator technique and a special continuous observer design, a dynamic output feedback controller is explicitly constructed to render the systems globally finite-time stable. The novelty of the note is the development of a recursive design procedure, which takes full advantage of the continuous structure of the systems in constructing the state feedback stabilizer and the continuous observer with rigorously selected gains.     

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.     

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

In this paper, the problem of global finite-time stabilisation by output feedback is considered for a class of stochastic nonlinear systems. First, based on homogeneous systems theory and the adding a power integrator technique, a homogeneous reduced order observer and control law are constructed in a recursive manner for the nominal system. Then, the homogeneous domination approach is used to deal with the nonlinearities in drift and diffusion terms; it is shown that the proposed output-feedback control law can guarantee that the closed-loop system is global finite-time stable in probability. Finally, simulation examples are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

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.     

Global stabilization of a class of delay discrete-time nonlinear systems via state and output feedback

This paper deals with stabilization of a class of delay discrete-time nonlinear systems through state and output feedback. We provide an explicit bounded state feedback law as an extension of the Jurdjevic-Quinn method, from nonlinear theory, to this class of systems. Next, we present a useful and systematic approach to design an observer for the same class of systems. Then, we show how the global stabilization problem via dynamic output feedback can be solved by using the two previous results. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.     

Global finite-time stabilisation of a class of switched nonlinear systems

This paper is concerned with the global finite-time stabilisation problem for a class of switched nonlinear systems under arbitrary switchings. All subsystems of the studied switched system under consideration are in lower triangular form. Based on the adding one power integrator technique, both a class of non-Lipschitz continuous state feedback controllers and a common Lyapunov function are simultaneously constructed such that the closed-loop switched system is global finite-time stable under arbitrary switchings. In the controller design process, a common coordinate transformation of all subsystems is exploited to avoid using individual coordinate transformations for subsystems. Finally, two examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Global exponential stabilization of a class of nonlinear systems by output feedback

This work extends the existing output feedback stabilization schemes for the systems in a "perturbed chain-of-integrator" form. In particular, we further relax the triangular-type conditions imposed on the perturbed terms and analyze the robust property of the linear output feedback control law using the newly proposed condition.     

Global output feedback stabilization for a class of nonlinear systems with quantized input and output

In this paper, we aim at addressing the problem of global output feedback stabilization for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with quantized input and output. The nonlinear functions of the system are assumed to satisfy high‐order growth condition on the unmeasurable states. Based on the homogeneous domination approach and sector bound approach, a homogeneous quantized controller computed from quantized output is constructed, and a guideline is derived to select the parameters of the quantizers. Further, it is proved that, with the proposed scheme, the closed‐loop system is globally asymptotically stable. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Global stabilization for a class of switched nonlinear feedforward systems

The problem of global stabilization for a class of switched nonlinear feedforward systems under arbitrary switchings is investigated in this paper. Based on the integrator forwarding technique and the common Lyapunov function method, we design bounded state feedback controllers of individual subsystems to guarantee asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. A common coordinate transformation of all subsystems is exploited to avoid individual coordinate transformations for subsystems that are required when applying the forwarding recursive design scheme. An example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.     

Sampled‐data output feedback stabilization for a class of switched stochastic nonlinear systems

This paper investigates a global sampled‐data output feedback stabilization problem for a class of switched stochastic nonlinear systems whose output and system mode are available only at the sampling instants. An observer is designed to estimate the unmeasurable state and thus a sampled‐data controller is constructed with the sampled estimated state. As a distinctive feature, a merging virtual switching signal is introduced to describe the asynchronous switching generated by detecting the system mode via a sampler. By choosing an appropriate piecewise Lyapunov function, it is proved that the proposed sampled‐data controller with allowable sampling period can stabilize the considered switched stochastic nonlinear systems under an average dwell‐time condition. Finally, two simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Stability and static output feedback stabilization for a class of nonlinear discrete-time singular switched systems

In this paper, the stability and static output feedback stabilization problems for a class of nonlinear discrete-time singular switched systems are discussed. First, based on Lyapunov theory and the implicit function theorem, linear matrix inequalities sufficient conditions are developed which guarantee that the nonlinear discrete-time singular switched systems are regular, causal, have unique solution in a neighborhood of the origin, and are uniformly asymptotically stable. Then, with these conditions, and based on singular value decomposition approach, the design method of static output feedback controllers is given. Last, numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

Global finite-time stabilization of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems

This paper studies the problem of finite-time stabilization for nonlinear systems. We prove that global finite-time stabilizability of uncertain nonlinear systems that are dominated by a lower-triangular system can be achieved by Hölder continuous state feedback. The proof is based on the finite-time Lyapunov stability theorem and the nonsmooth feedback design method developed recently for the control of inherently nonlinear systems that cannot be dealt with by any smooth feedback. A recursive design algorithm is developed for the construction of a Hölder continuous, global finite-time stabilizer as well as a C¹ positive definite and proper Lyapunov function that guarantees finite-time stability.

Global finite-time stabilization by output feedback for planar systems without observable linearization

This note considers the problem of global finite-time stabilization by output feedback for a class of planar systems without controllable/observable linearization. A sufficient condition for the solvability of the problem is established. By developing a nonsmooth observer and modifying the adding a power integrator technique, we show that an output feedback controller can be explicitly constructed to globally stabilize the systems in finite time. As a direct application of the main result, global output feedback finite-time stabilization is achieved for the double linear integrator systems perturbed by some nonlinear functions which are not necessarily homogeneous.     

Asymptotic stabilization via output feedback for nonlinear systems with delayed output

We propose a novel and simple design scheme of output feedback controller for a class of nonlinear systems with delayed output. The nonlinear systems considered here are more general than feedforward systems (upper triangular systems). By constructing an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF) and solving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), the delay-dependent controller making the closed-loop system globally asymptotically stable (GAS) is explicitly constructed. A simulation example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design procedure.     

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.
