Direct adaptive fuzzy backstepping control for uncertain discrete-time nonlinear systems using noisy measurements

This paper presents a direct adaptive fuzzy backstepping control (AFBC) for multi-input multi-output uncertain discrete-time nonlinear systems. It is assumed that the systems are described by a discrete-time state equation with uncertainties to be viewed as the modelling errors and the unknown external disturbances, and the observation of the states is taken with independent measurement noises. The proposed direct AFBC is presented as follows. The proposed direct AFBC is assumed to be the fuzzy logic system by removing the explosion of complexity problem due to repeated computation of nonlinear functions at the first stage. Second, the number of the adjustable parameters is reduced by the fuzzy inference approach based on the extended single input rule modules. Third, the simplified weighted least squares estimator is constructed by reducing the computational burden of the estimation for the unmeasurable states and the adjustable parameters. The effectiveness of the proposed direct AFBC is illustrated through the simulation experiment of a simple numerical system.     

Design of an adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control for uncertain discrete-time nonlinear systems based on noisy measurements

This paper presents the design of an adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control (AFSMC) for uncertain discrete-time nonlinear dynamic systems. The dynamic systems are described by a discrete-time state equation with nonlinear uncertainties, and the uncertainties include the modelling errors and the external disturbances to be unknown but nonlinear with the bounded properties. The states are measured by the restriction of measurement sensors and the contamination with independent measurement noises. The nonlinear uncertainties are approximated by using the fuzzy IF-THEN rules based on the universal approximation theorem, and the approximation error is compensated by adding an adaptive complementary term to the proposed AFSMC. The fuzzy inference approach based on the extended single input rule modules is proposed to reduce the number of the fuzzy IF-THEN rules. The estimates for the un-measurable states and the adjustable parameters are obtained by using the weighted least squares estimator and its simplified one. It is proved that under some conditions the estimation errors will remain in the vicinity of zero as time increases, and the states are ultimately bounded subject to the proposed AFSMC. The effectiveness of the proposed method is indicated through the simulation experiment of a simple numerical system.

In this paper, a robust adaptive fuzzy dynamic surface control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems is proposed. A novel adaptive fuzzy dynamic surface model is built to approximate the uncertain nonlinear functions by only one fuzzy logic system. The approximation capability of this model is proved and the model is implemented to solve the problem that too many approximators are used in the controller design of uncertain nonlinear systems.

A new fuzzy adaptive control method is proposed for a class of strict feedback nonlinear systems with immeasurable states and full constraints.The fuzzy logic system is used to design the approximator,which deals with uncertain and continuous functions in the process of backstepping design.The use of an integral barrier Lyapunov function not only ensures that all states are within the bounds of the constraint,but also mixes the states and errors to directly constrain the state,reducing the conservativeness of the constraint satisfaction condition.Considering that the states in most nonlinear systems are immeasurable,a fuzzy adaptive states observer is constructed to estimate the unknown states.Combined with adaptive backstepping technique,an adaptive fuzzy output feedback control method is proposed.The proposed control method ensures that all signals in the closed-loop system are bounded,and that the tracking error converges to a bounded tight set without violating the full state constraint.The simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
