Robust feedback stabilization using high‐gain observer via event triggering

In this article, the problem of robust output feedback stabilization of single‐input single‐output nonlinear systems is studied in the event‐triggering framework. In this work, an event‐triggered output feedback law based on a high‐gain observer is constructed, which guarantees the stability of closed‐loop system. First, the high‐gain observer with a triggering scheme is designed to estimate the plant state in the presence of external disturbances subject to any satisfactory accuracy of the estimation error. The observer‐based triggering mechanism decides the transmission of plant output to the observer by observing a certain event condition. Similarly, another triggering mechanism is designed using the estimated state of observer that triggers the control signal to be updated only when it is satisfied. Under this proposed event‐triggering framework, the stability of closed‐loop system is then analyzed. Here, we provide the simplified design technique, in which the high‐gain parameter and the triggering thresholds can be selected independently to achieve any desired bound for the plant trajectory. The results are finally demonstrated through simulation of a numerical example.     

Robust global stabilization of linear systems with input saturation via gain scheduling

The problem of robust global stabilization of linear systems subject to input saturation and input‐additive uncertainties is revisited in this paper. By taking advantages of the recently developed parametric Lyapunov equation‐based low gain feedback design method and an existing dynamic gain scheduling technique, a new gain scheduling controller is proposed to solve the problem. In comparison with the existing ?₂‐type gain scheduling controller, which requires the online solution of a state‐dependent nonlinear optimization problem and a state‐dependent ?₂ algebraic Riccati equation (ARE), all the parameters in the proposed controller are determined a priori. In the absence of the input‐additive uncertainties, the proposed controller also partially recovers Teel's ?_∞‐type scheduling approach by solving the problem of global stabilization of linear systems with actuator saturation. The ?_∞‐type scheduling approach achieves robustness not only with non‐input‐additive uncertainties but also requires the closed‐form solution to an ?_∞ ARE. Thus, the proposed scheduling method also addresses the implementation issues of the ?_∞‐type scheduling approach in the absence of non‐input‐additive uncertainties.

Stabilization via dynamic output feedback for systems with output nonlinearities

The problem of asmptotically stabilizing a class of systems by means of continuous output feedback is considered. These systems are characterized by nonlinear terms, depending only on the ouputs. It is shown that for these systems stabilization via continuous state-feedback plus stabilization via output injection imply stabilization via continuous dynamic output-feedback. This generalizes a well-knwon result for linear systems.     

Recursive scaling design for robust global nonlinear stabilization via output feedback

This paper proposes a novel approach to robust backstepping for global stabilization of uncertain nonlinear systems via output feedback. The design procedure developed in this paper is based on the concept of state‐dependent scaling, which handles output‐feedback stabilization problems of strict‐feedback systems with various structures of uncertainties in a unified way. The proposed method is suitable for numerical computation. The theory of the method employs the Schur complements formula instead of Young's inequality and completing the squares. This paper shows a condition of allowable uncertainty size under which an uncertain system is globally stabilized by output feedback. A class of systems is shown to be always globally stabilizable for arbitrarily large nonlinear size of uncertainties. A recursive procedure of robust observer design for such a class of uncertain systems is presented. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Global stabilization by output feedback: examples and counterexamples

We show by means of examples that global complete observability and global stabilizability by state feedback are not sufficient to guarantee global stabilizability by dynamic output feedback. We show that a main obstruction is related to ‘unboundedness unobservability’. This is that some unmeasured state components may escape in finite time whereas the measurements remain bounded.

Robust control of uncertain systems with polynomial nonlinearity by output feedback

The problem of global robust stabilization by output feedback is investigated for two classes of uncertain systems with polynomial nonlinearity—one is with controllable/observable linearization and the other is not. The uncertainties in the systems are assumed to be dominated by both lower‐ and higher‐order nonlinearities multiplying by an output‐dependent growth rate. There are two ingredients in this study. One is to exploit the idea of how to handle polynomial growth conditions via homogeneity and domination without introducing an observer gain updated law. The other is the development of a recursive design algorithm for the construction of reduced‐order observers, which is not only interesting in its own right but also has a valid counterpart, capable of dealing with strongly nonlinear systems, even lack of uniform observability and smooth stabilizability.

A new small‐gain theorem with an application to the stabilization of the chemostat

New small‐gain results are obtained for nonlinear feedback systems under relaxed assumptions. Specifically, during a transient period, the solutions of the feedback system may not satisfy some key inequalities that previous small‐gain results usually utilize to prove stability properties. The results allow the application of the small‐gain perspective to various systems that satisfy less‐demanding stability notions than the input‐to‐output stability property. The robust global feedback stabilization problem of an uncertain time‐delayed chemostat model is solved by means of the new small‐gain results. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Robust output feedback stabilization of nonlinear systems with low‐order and high‐order nonlinearities

In this paper, we consider the problem of global output feedback stabilization for a class of nonlinear systems whose nonlinearities are assumed to be bounded by both low‐order and high‐order nonlinearities multiplied by a polynomial‐type output‐dependent growth rate. Instead of the previously proposed dual observer, based on the homogeneous domination approach, a new reduced‐order observer is constructed, which greatly simplifies the closed‐loop controller and is able to cover a more general class of nonlinear systems.

Robust global stabilization of spacecraft rendezvous system via gain scheduling

The problem of robust global stabilization of a spacecraft circular orbit rendezvous system with input saturation and inputadditive uncertainties is studied in this paper. The relative models with saturation nonlinearity are established based on Clohessey-Wiltshire equation. Considering the advantages of the recently developed parametric Lyapunov equation-based low gain feedback design method and an existing high gain scheduling technique, a new robust gain scheduling controller is proposed to solve the robust global stabilization problem. To apply the proposed gain scheduling approaches, only a scalar nonlinear equation is required to be solved. Different from the controller design, simulations have been carried out directly on the nonlinear model of the spacecraft rendezvous operation instead of a linearized one. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is shown.     

Robust output feedback control of polynomial growth nonlinear systems with measurement uncertainty

Even in the presence of uncertainty in both state and output equations, we prove that global asymptotic stabilization is still possible by output feedback for a family of uncertain nonlinear systems dominated by a triangular system with a polynomial output‐dependent growth rate. In contrast to the linear growth requirement in the recent work the nonlinear perturbations in this paper are allowed to satisfy a linear growth condition with a polynomial output‐dependent rate. To handle simultaneously the polynomial nonlinearities and unknown parameter in the system output, we propose a high‐gain estimator with a dynamic gain that is updated online through a Riccati‐type dynamic equation. Then, an estimator‐based controller is designed by a recursive algorithm that makes it possible to assign the controller gains step by step. The globally stabilizing output‐feedback controller developed in this paper is robust with respect to uncertainties in the system dynamics and output equations.     

Decentralised adaptive output feedback stabilisation for stochastic time-delay systems via LaSalle-Yoshizawa-type theorem

This paper deals with the decentralised output feedback stabilisation problem for a class of large-scale stochastic time-delay nonlinear systems. A general theorem is firstly given to guarantee the global existence and uniqueness of the solution for stochastic time-delay systems. In addition, a stochastic version of the well-known LaSalle-Yoshizawa theorem with time-varying delay is initially proposed for the controller design and stability analysis. Then, for a class of large-scale stochastic systems with time-varying delays, totally decentralised adaptive delay-dependent controllers are designed by using K-filter and backstepping approach. Via LaSalle-Yoshizawa-type theorem and constructing a general Lyapunov function, it is shown that all signals in the closed-loop system are bounded almost surely and the solution is almost surely asymptotically stable. Finally, a simulation example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the results of this paper.     

Robust output feedback control for a class of nonlinear systems with input unmodeled dynamics

The robust global stabilization problem of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with input unmodeled dynamics is considered using output feedback, where the uncertain nonlinear terms satisfy a far more relaxed condition than the existing triangulartype condition. Under the assumption that the input unmodeled dynamics is minimum-phase and of relative degree zero, a dynamic output compensator is explicitly constructed based on the nonseparation principle. An example illustrates the usefulness of the proposed method.
