Adaptive neural decentralized control for strict feedback nonlinear interconnected systems via backstepping

An approximation based adaptive neural decentralized output tracking control scheme for a class of large-scale unknown nonlinear systems with strict-feedback interconnected subsystems with unknown nonlinear interconnections is developed in this paper. Within this scheme, radial basis function RBF neural networks are used to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions of the subsystems. An adaptive neural controller is designed based on the recursive backstepping procedure and the minimal learning parameter technique. The proposed decentralized control scheme has the following features. First, the controller singularity problem in some of the existing adaptive control schemes with feedback linearization is avoided. Second, the numbers of adaptive parameters required for each subsystem are not more than the order of this subsystem. Lyapunov stability method is used to prove that the proposed adaptive neural control scheme guarantees that all signals in the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded, while tracking errors converge to a small neighborhood of the origin. The simulation example of a two-spring interconnected inverted pendulum is presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Adaptive neural output feedback tracking control for a class of nonlinear systems

In this paper, an adaptive neural output feedback control scheme based on backstepping technique and dynamic surface control (DSC) approach is developed to solve the tracking control problem for a class of nonlinear systems with unmeasurable states. Firstly, a nonlinear state observer is designed to estimate the unmeasurable states. Secondly, in the controller design process, radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) are utilised to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, and then a novel adaptive neural output feedback tracking control scheme is developed via backstepping technique and DSC approach. It is shown that the proposed controller ensures that all signals of the closed-loop system remain bounded and the tracking error converges to a small neighbourhood around the origin. Finally, two numerical examples and one realistic example are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design approach.     

Robust adaptive control of strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unmodelled dynamics and time-varying delays

This paper presents a novel robust adaptive neural control scheme which can be taken as a robustification of the adaptive backstepping design. The considered class of uncertainties contains unknown non-symmetric dead-zone inputs, time-varying delay uncertainties, unknown dynamic disturbances and unmodelled dynamics. The radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) are employed to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions obtained by Young’s inequality. By constructing exponential Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, the upper bound functions of the time-varying delay uncertainties are compensated for. Using Young’s inequality and RBFNNs, the assumptions with respect to unmodelled dynamics are relaxed. It is demonstrated that the proposed controller guarantees that all the signals in the closed-loop system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded and the tracking error eventually converges to a neighbourhood of zero.

Adaptive neural network control of nonlinear systems with unknown time delays

In this note, adaptive neural control is presented for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown time delays. Using appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, the uncertainties of unknown time delays are compensated for such that iterative backstepping design can be carried out. In addition, controller singularity problems are solved by using the integral Lyapunov function and employing practical robust neural network control. The feasibility of neural network approximation of unknown system functions is guaranteed over practical compact sets. It is proved that the proposed systematic backstepping design method is able to guarantee semiglobally uniformly ultimate boundedness of all the signals in the closed-loop system and the tracking error is proven to converge to a small neighborhood of the origin.     

A New Robust Adaptive Neural Network Backstepping Control for Single Machine Infinite Power System With TCSC

For a single machine infinite power system with thyristor controlled series compensation (TCSC) device, which is affected by system model uncertainties, nonlinear time-delays and external unknown disturbances, we present a robust adaptive backstepping control scheme based on the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN). The RBFNN is introduced to approximate the complex nonlinear function involving uncertainties and external unknown disturbances, and meanwhile a new robust term is constructed to further estimate the system residual error, which removes the requirement of knowing the upper bound of the disturbances and uncertainty terms. The stability analysis of the power system is presented based on the Lyapunov function, which can guarantee the uniform ultimate boundedness (UUB) of all parameters and states of the whole closed-loop system. A comparison is made between the RBFNN-based robust adaptive control and the general backstepping control in the simulation part to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

This paper aims to extend the newly developed global adaptive regulation scheme to adaptive tracking for a general class of nonlinear systems with both parameter uncertainties and unknown time delay for all the system states.

As a result, a memoryless adaptive state-feedback controller is obtained to achieve the global adaptive tracking.

In this paper, the problem of adaptive neural network asymptotical tracking is investigated for a class of nonlinear system with unknown function, external disturbances and input quantisation. Based on neural network technique, an adaptive asymptotical tracking controller is provided for an uncertain nonlinear system via backstepping method. In order to reduce complexity of the control algorithm in the backstepping design process, a sliding mode differentiator is employed to estimate the virtual control law and only two parameters need to be estimated via adaptive control technique. The stability of the closed-loop system is analysed by using Lyapunov function method and zero-tracking error performance is obtained in the presence of unknown nonlinear function, external disturbances and input quantisation. Finally, an application example is employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Adaptive neural prescribed performance control for a class of strict-feedback stochastic nonlinear systems under arbitrary switchings

This paper presents an adaptive neural tracking control scheme for strict-feedback stochastic nonlinear systems with guaranteed transient and steady-state performance under arbitrary switchings. First, by utilising the prescribed performance control, the prescribed tracking control performance can be ensured, while the requirement for the initial error is removed. Second, radial basis function neural networks approximation are used to handle unknown nonlinear functions and stochastic disturbances. At last, by using the common Lyapunov function method and the backstepping technique, a common adaptive neural controller is constructed. The designed controller overcomes the problem of the over-parameterisation, and further alleviates the computational burden. Under the proposed common adaptive controller, all the signals in the closed-loop system are 4-Moment (or 2 Moment) semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded, and the prescribed tracking control performance are guaranteed under arbitrary switchings. Three examples are presented to further illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Adaptive Neural Network-Based Control for a Class of Nonlinear Pure-Feedback Systems With Time-Varying Full State Constraints

In this paper, an adaptive neural network (NN) control approach is proposed for nonlinear pure-feedback systems with time-varying full state constraints. The pure-feedback systems of this paper are assumed to possess nonlinear function uncertainties. By using the mean value theorem, pure-feedback systems can be transformed into strict feedback forms. For the newly generated systems, NNs are employed to approximate unknown items. Based on the adaptive control scheme and backstepping algorithm, an intelligent controller is designed. At the same time, time-varying Barrier Lyapunov functions (BLFs) with error variables are adopted to avoid violating full state constraints in every step of the backstepping design. All closedloop signals are uniformly ultimately bounded and the output tracking error converges to the neighborhood of zero, which can be verified by using the Lyapunov stability theorem. Two simulation examples reveal the performance of the adaptive NN control approach.

Adaptive Sliding Mode Control for Re-entry Attitude of Near Space Hypersonic Vehicle Based on Backstepping Design

Combining sliding mode control method with radial basis function neural network (RBFNN), this paper proposes a robust adaptive control scheme based on backstepping design for re-entry attitude tracking control of near space hypersonic vehicle (NSHV) in the presence of parameter variations and external disturbances. In the attitude angle loop, a robust adaptive virtual control law is designed by using the adaptive method to estimate the unknown upper bound of the compound uncertainties. In the angular velocity loop, an adaptive sliding mode control law is designed to suppress the effect of parameter variations and external disturbances. The main benefit of the sliding mode control is robustness to parameter variations and external disturbances. To further improve the control performance, RBFNNs are introduced to approximate the compound uncertainties in the attitude angle loop and angular velocity loop, respectively. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, the tracking errors are shown to be asymptotically stable. Simulation results show that the proposed control system attains a satisfied control performance and is robust against parameter variations and external disturbances.      

Prescribed performance adaptive neural output feedback dynamic surface control for a class of strict‐feedback uncertain nonlinear systems with full state constraints and unmodeled dynamics

This paper studies the output feedback tracking control problem for a class of strict‐feedback uncertain nonlinear systems with full state constraints and unmodeled dynamics using a prescribed performance adaptive neural dynamic surface control design approach. A nonlinear mapping technique is employed to address the state constraints. Radial basis function neural networks are utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions. The unmodeled dynamics is addressed by introducing an available dynamic signal. Subsequently, we construct the controller and parameter adaptive laws using a backstepping technique. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, it is shown that all signals in the closed‐loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded and that the tracking error always remains within the prescribed performance bound. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

Robust approximation‐based adaptive control of multiple state delayed nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics

This paper addresses the problem of tracking control for a class of uncertain nonstrict‐feedback nonlinear systems subject to multiple state time‐varying delays and unmodeled dynamics. To overcome the design difficulty in system dynamical uncertainties, radial basis function neural networks are employed to approximate the black‐box functions. Novel continuous functions that deal with whole states uncertainties are introduced in each step of the adaptive backstepping to make the controller design feasible. The robust problem caused by unmodeled dynamics when constructing a stable controller is solved by employing an auxiliary signal to regulate its boundedness. A novel Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional is developed to compensate for the delayed nonlinearity without requiring the priori knowledge of its upper bound functions. On the basis of the proposed robust adaptive neural controller, all the closed‐loop signals are semiglobal uniformly ultimately bounded with good tracking performance.
