Adaptive neural network tracking control for uncertain nonlinear systems with input delay and saturation

In this article, the adaptive tracking control problem is considered for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with input delay and saturation. To compensate for the effect of the input delay and saturation, a compensation system is designed. Radial basis function neural networks are directly utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions. With the aid of the backstepping method, novel adaptive neural network tracking controllers are developed, which can guarantee all the signals in the closed‐loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded, and the system output can track the desired signal with a small tracking error. In the end, a simulation example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Bounded control of feedforward nonlinear systems subject to input time‐delay

This article is concerned with the global stabilization problem of a family of feedforward nonlinear time‐delay systems whose linearized system consists of multiple distinct oscillators. To fully utilize the delayed information and maintain the state decoupling property in the controller design, the considered nonlinear feedforward system is first transformed into a new system which contains time delays in both its input and states based on a novel model transformation containing time delays, and then the stabilizing saturated controller for the transformed system is designed based on the recursive design method. Meanwhile, explicit stability conditions are also provided. When the linearized system is a cascade of multiple oscillators and multiple integrators, a modified saturated feedback control utilizing not only the current state but also the delayed state is also established for the corresponding global stabilization problem. Two examples, including a practical one, are given to show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed approaches.

Output feedback stabilization of stochastic feedforward nonlinear systems with input and state delay

This paper considers the problem of output feedback stabilization for a class of stochastic feedforward nonlinear systems with input and state delay. Under a set of coordinate transformations, we first design a linear output feedback controller for a nominal system. Then, with the aid of feedback domination technique and an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, it is proved that the proposed linear output feedback controller can drive the closed‐loop system globally asymptotically stable in probability.

Observer-based tracking control for MIMO pure-feedback nonlinear systems with time-delay and input quantisation

In addressing the adaptive neural backstepping control for multiple-input and multiple-output nonlinear systems in pure-feedback form with time-delay and input quantisation, we construct a high-gain state observer and an output-feedback adaptive control scheme using backstepping method, with neural networks to estimate the uncertain nonlinear functions. Then, we propose an output feedback neural controller that ensures all the state trajectories in the time-delay quantised nonlinear systems are ultimately bounded, with the control signal being quantised by either a hysteretic quantiser or a logarithmic quantiser. An illustrative example is presented to show the applicability of the new control method developed.

Neuroadaptive containment control of nonlinear multiagent systems with input saturations

This paper investigates the output containment tracking problem of nonlinear multiagent systems with mismatched uncertain dynamics and input saturations. A neural network–based distributed adaptive command filtered backstepping (CFB) scheme is given, which can guarantee that the containment tracking errors reach to the desired neighborhood of origin and all signals in the closed‐loop system are bounded. Note that error compensation system and virtual control laws established in CFB only use local information, so the given scheme is completely distributed. Moreover, the applied sliding mode differentiator (SMD) can make the outputs of SMD fast approximate the virtual signal and its derivative at each step of backstepping, which can further improve the control quality. Finally, a simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Composite nonlinear feedback control for strict-feedback nonlinear systems with input saturation

This paper focuses on composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) controller design for tracking control problem of strict-feedback nonlinear systems with input saturation to address the improvement of transient performance. First, without considering the input saturation, a stabilisation control law is designed by using standard backstepping technique for the nonlinear system, then a feedforward control law is added to the backstepping-based stabilisation control law to construct a tracking control law. The tracking control law is tuned to drive the output of the closed-loop system to track a command input with quick response. Then, an additional nonlinear feedback law is constructed and combined with the tracking control law to obtain a CNF control law. The role of this additional nonlinear feedback law is to smoothly change the damping ratio of the closed-loop system while the system output approaches the command input, and to reduce overshoot caused by the tracking control law. It is shown that the extra-adding nonlinear feedback part does not cause the loss of stability of the closed-loop system in its attractive basin.     

Regulation of unknown nonlinear dynamical systems via dynamical neural networks

In this paper, we are dealing with the problem of regulating unknown nonlinear dynamical systems. First a dynamical neural network identifier is employed to perform black box identification and then a regular static feedback is developed to regulate the unknown system to zero. Not all the plant states are assumed to be available for measurement.A preliminary version of this paper has been presented at the IEEE Mediterranean Symposium on new directions in control theory and applications, Chania, Crete, Greece, June 1993.     

Data-driven model reduction-based nonlinear MPC for large-scale distributed parameter systems

Model predictive control (MPC) has been effectively applied in process industries since the 1990s. Models in the form of closed equation sets are normally needed for MPC, but it is often difficult to obtain such formulations for large nonlinear systems. To extend nonlinear MPC (NMPC) application to nonlinear distributed parameter systems (DPS) with unknown dynamics, a data-driven model reduction-based approach is followed. The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method is first applied off-line to compute a set of basis functions. Then a series of artificial neural networks (ANNs) are trained to effectively compute POD time coefficients. NMPC, using sequential quadratic programming is then applied. The novelty of our methodology lies in the application of POD's highly efficient linear decomposition for the consequent conversion of any distributed multi-dimensional space-state model to a reduced 1-dimensional model, dependent only on time, which can be handled effectively as a black-box through ANNs. Hence we construct a paradigm, which allows the application of NMPC to complex nonlinear high-dimensional systems, even input/output systems, handled by black-box solvers, with significant computational efficiency. This paradigm combines elements of gain scheduling, NMPC, model reduction and ANN for effective control of nonlinear DPS. The stabilization/destabilization of a tubular reactor with recycle is used as an illustrative example to demonstrate the efficiency of our methodology. Case studies with inequality constraints are also presented.     

Comparison of input signals in subspace identification of multivariable ill-conditioned systems

Ill-conditioned processes often produce data of low quality for model identification in general, and for subspace identification in particular, because data vectors of different outputs are typically close to collinearity, being aligned in the “strong” direction. One of the solutions suggested in the literature is the use of appropriate input signals, usually called “rotated” inputs, which must excite sufficiently the process in the “weak” direction. In this paper open-loop (uncorrelated and rotated) random signals are compared against inputs generated in closed-loop operation, with the aim of finding the most appropriate ones to be used in multivariable subspace identification of ill-conditioned processes. Two multivariable ill-conditioned processes are investigated and as a result it is found that closed-loop identification gives superior models, both in the sense of lower error in the frequency response and in terms of higher performance when used to build a model predictive control system.     

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.
