Adaptive control of uncertain pure-feedback nonlinear systems

An adaptive control approach is proposed to solve the globally asymptotic state stabilisation problem for uncertain pure-feedback nonlinear systems which can be transformed into the pseudo-affine form. The pseudo-affine pure-feedback nonlinear system under consideration is with nonlinearly parameterised uncertainties and possibly unknown control coefficients. Based on the parameter separation technique, a novel backstepping controller is designed by adopting the adaptive high gain idea. The proposed control approach could avoid the drawbacks of the approximation-based approaches since no estimators are needed to estimate the virtual and the actual controllers. In addition, it could guarantee globally asymptotic state stabilisation even though there exist nonlinearly parameterised uncertainties in the considered system while comparing to the existing approximation-free approaches. A numerical and a realistic examples are employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.     

Robust adaptive neural control of uncertain pure-feedback nonlinear systems

In this paper, a robust adaptive neural control design approach is presented for a class of uncertain pure-feedback nonlinear systems. To reduce the complexity of the both controller structure and computation, only one neural network is used to approximate the lumped unknown function of the system at the last step of the recursive design process. By this approach, the complexity growing problem existing in conventional methods can be eliminated completely. Stability analysis shows that all the closed-loop system signals are uniformly ultimately bounded, and the steady state tracking error can be made arbitrarily small by appropriately choosing control parameters. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and merits of the proposed approach.

Backstepping adaptive fuzzy control of uncertain nonlinear systems against actuator faults

A class of unknown nonlinear systems subject to uncertain actuator faults and external disturbances will be studied in this paper with the help of fuzzy approximation theory. Using backstepping technique, a novel adaptive fuzzy control approach is proposed to accommodate the uncertain actuator faults during operation and deal with the external disturbances though the systems cannot be linearized by feedback. The considered faults are modeled as both loss of effectiveness and lock-in-place （stuck at some unknown place）. It is proved that the proposed control scheme can guarantee all signals of the closed-loop system to be semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded and the tracking error between the system output and the reference signal converge to a small neighborhood of zero, though the nonlinear functions of the controlled system as well as the actuator faults and the external disturbances are all unknown. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the control approach.     

Adaptive neural control for a class of non-affine pure-feedback nonlinear systems

A novel adaptive neural control scheme is designed for a class of pure-feedback nonlinear systems with non-affine functions possibly being discontinuous. The non-affine function is not necessary to be continuous with respect to control variables or input, and the bounds of non-affine function are unknown functions. Some compact sets are constructively introduced to investigate the bounds of non-affine function so as to cope with the difficulty from these unknown bounds. Moreover, the dynamic surface control technique has been utilised for handling with the problem of ‘explosion of complexity’, and the minimal learning parameter technique is also employed to overcome the problem of excessive parameters. Furthermore, it is highly proved that all the variables will always stay in the introduced compact sets, and all the signals in the closed-loop control system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded by choosing the appropriate design parameters. Finally, simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the designed approach.     

Adaptive backstepping control of uncertain systems with unknown input time-delay

In this paper, we establish the robustness of adaptive controllers designed using the standard backstepping technique with respect to unmodeled dynamics involving unknown input time delay. While noting that some results on robust stabilization of non-minimum phase systems using the backstepping technique are available, we realize that the standard adaptive backstepping technique has only been shown applicable to unknown minimum phase systems. Another significance of our result is to enable the class of systems stablizable by adaptive backstepping controllers to cross the boundary of minimum phase systems, since systems with input time delay belong to non-minimum phase systems. Moreover, the L₂ and L_∞ norms of the system output are also established as functions of design parameters. This implies that the transient system performance can be adjusted by choosing suitable design parameters.     

Adaptive NN control for a class of strict-feedback discrete-time nonlinear systems

In this paper, both full state and output feedback adaptive neural network (NN) controllers are presented for a class of strict-feedback discrete-time nonlinear systems. Firstly, Lyapunov-based full-state adaptive NN control is presented via backstepping, which avoids the possible controller singularity problem in adaptive nonlinear control and solves the noncausal problem in the discrete-time backstepping design procedure. After the strict-feedback form is transformed into a cascade form, another relatively simple Lyapunov-based direct output feedback control is developed. The closed-loop systems for both control schemes are proven to be semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded.

Adaptive fuzzy control for a class of uncertain nonaffine nonlinear systems

An adaptive fuzzy control approach is proposed for a class of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with completely unknown nonaffine functions. The MIMO systems are composed of n subsystems and each of subsystems is in the nested lower triangular form. It is difficult and complicated to control this class of systems due to the existence of unknown nonaffine functions and the couplings among the nested subsystems. This difficulty is overcome by introducing some special type Lyapunov functions and taking advantage of the mean-value theorem, the backstepping design method and the approximation property of the fuzzy systems. The proposed control approach can guarantee that all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded. A simulation experiment is utilized to verify the feasibility of the proposed approach.     

Adaptive stabilization of a class of uncertain switched nonlinear systems with backstepping control

In this paper, we focus on the problem of adaptive stabilization for a class of uncertain switched nonlinear systems, whose non-switching part consists of feedback linearizable dynamics. The main result is that we propose adaptive controllers such that the considered switched systems with unknown parameters can be stabilized under arbitrary switching signals. First, we design the adaptive state feedback controller based on tuning the estimations of the bounds on switching parameters in the transformed system, instead of estimating the switching parameters directly. Next, by incorporating some augmented design parameters, the adaptive output feedback controller is designed. The proposed approach allows us to construct a common Lyapunov function and thus the closed-loop system can be stabilized without the restriction on dwell-time, which is needed in most of the existing results considering output feedback control. A numerical example and computer simulations are provided to validate the proposed controllers.

Adaptive tracking control of uncertain MIMO nonlinear systems with input constraints

In this paper, adaptive tracking control is proposed for a class of uncertain multi-input and multi-output nonlinear systems with non-symmetric input constraints. The auxiliary design system is introduced to analyze the effect of input constraints, and its states are used to adaptive tracking control design. The spectral radius of the control coefficient matrix is used to relax the nonsingular assumption of the control coefficient matrix. Subsequently, the constrained adaptive control is presented, where command filters are adopted to implement the emulate of actuator physical constraints on the control law and virtual control laws and avoid the tedious analytic computations of time derivatives of virtual control laws in the backstepping procedure. Under the proposed control techniques, the closed-loop semi-global uniformly ultimate bounded stability is achieved via Lyapunov synthesis. Finally, simulation studies are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive tracking control.

The design approach is described as follows. The nonlinear uncertainties are approximated by using the fuzzy logic systems at the first stage, secondly the adaptive fuzzy dynamic surface control is introduced to remove the problem of the explosion of complexity for the derivation of the adaptive fuzzy backstepping control, thirdly a new saturation function for state constraints is proposed to design the controllers based on the Lyapunov function, fourthly the number of the adjustable parameters is reduced by using the simplified extended single input rule modules, and finally the weighted least squares estimator to take the estimates for the un-measurable states and the adjustable parameters is in a simplified structure designed. The proposed approach provides effective system performance in the simulation experiment.     

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.     

Adaptive fuzzy control for pure-feedback stochastic nonlinear systems with unknown dead-zone input

This paper is concerned with the problem of adaptive fuzzy output tracking control for a class of nonlinear pure-feedback stochastic systems with unknown dead-zone. Fuzzy logic systems in Mamdani type are used to approximate the unknown nonlinearities, then a novel adaptive fuzzy tracking controller is designed by using backstepping technique. The control scheme is systematically derived without requiring any information on the boundedness of dead-zone parameters (slopes and break-points) and the repeated differentiation of the virtual control signals. The proposed adaptive fuzzy controller guarantees that all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded in probability and the system output eventually converges to a small neighbourhood of the desired reference signal in the sense of mean quartic value. Simulation results further illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

Adaptive neural network tracking control for a class of switched stochastic pure-feedback nonlinear systems with backlash-like hysteresis

In this paper, an adaptive neural network tracking control approach is proposed for a class of switched stochastic pure-feedback nonlinear systems with backlash-like hysteresis. In the design procedure, an affine variable is constructed, which avoids the use of the mean value theorem, and the additional first-order low-pass filter is employed to deal with the problem of explosion of complexity. Then, a common Lyapunov function and a state feedback controller are explicitly obtained for all subsystems. It is proved that the proposed controller that guarantees all signals in the closed-loop system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded and the tracking error remains an adjustable neighbourhood of the origin. Finally, simulation results show the effectiveness of the presented control design approach.
