Adaptive iterative learning control for a class of non-linearly parameterised systems with input saturations

In this paper, an adaptive iterative learning control scheme is proposed for a class of non-linearly parameterised systems with unknown time-varying parameters and input saturations. By incorporating a saturation function, a new iterative learning control mechanism is presented which includes a feedback term and a parameter updating term. Through the use of parameter separation technique, the non-linear parameters are separated from the non-linear function and then a saturated difference updating law is designed in iteration domain by combining the unknown parametric term of the local Lipschitz continuous function and the unknown time-varying gain into an unknown time-varying function. The analysis of convergence is based on a time-weighted Lyapunov–Krasovskii-like composite energy function which consists of time-weighted input, state and parameter estimation information. The proposed learning control mechanism warrants a L²_{[0, T]} convergence of the tracking error sequence along the iteration axis. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the adaptive iterative learning control scheme.     

Adaptive control of a class of nonaffine systems using neural networks.

A neural control synthesis method is considered for a class of nonaffine uncertain single-input-single-output (SISO) systems. The method eliminates a fixed-point assumption and does not assume boundedness on the time derivative of a control effectiveness term. One or the other of these assumptions exist in earlier papers on this subject. Using Lyapunov's direct method, it is shown that all the signals of the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded, and that the tracking error converges to an adjustable neighborhood of the origin. Simulation with a Van Der Pol equation with nonaffine control terms illustrates the approach.     

Adaptive output feedback control of a class of non-linear systems using neural networks

This paper presents tools for the design of a neural network based adaptive output feedback controller for a class of partially or completely unknown non-linear multi-input multi-output systems without zero dynamics. Each of the outputs is assumed to have relative degree less or equal to 2. A neural network based adaptive observer is designed to estimate the derivatives of the outputs. Subsequently, the adaptive observer is integrated into a neural network based adaptive controller architecture. Conditions are derived which guarantee the ultimate boundedness of all the errors in the closed loop system. Stability analysis reveals simultaneous learning rules for both the adaptive neural network observer and adaptive neural network controller. The design approach is illustrated using a fourth order two-input two-output example, in which each output has relative degree two.     

Adaptive backstepping control for a class of nonlinear systems using neural network approximations

In this paper, an adaptive neural network (NN) backstepping technique is developed for tracking control of a class of nonlinear systems. NNs are used to compensate for the unknown nonlinear functions in the system. A systematic backstepping approach is established to synthesize the adaptive NN control scheme that ensures the boundedness of all the signals in the closed‐loop system, and yields a small tracking error. The issue of transient performance is also addressed under an analytical framework. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated by computer simulations.

Adaptive control of a class of decentralized nonlinear systems

Within this brief paper, a stable indirect adaptive controller is presented for a class of interconnected nonlinear systems. The feedback and adaptation mechanisms for each subsystem depend only upon local measurements to provide asymptotic tracking of a reference trajectory. In addition, each subsystem is able to adaptively compensate for disturbances and interconnections with unknown bounds. The adaptive scheme is illustrated through the longitudinal control of a string of vehicles within an automated highway system (AHS)     

Lossless convexification of a class of optimal control problems with non-convex control constraints

We consider a class of finite time horizon optimal control problems for continuous time linear systems with a convex cost, convex state constraints and non-convex control constraints. We propose a convex relaxation of the non-convex control constraints, and prove that the optimal solution of the relaxed problem is also an optimal solution for the original problem, which is referred to as the lossless convexification of the optimal control problem. The lossless convexification enables the use of interior point methods of convex optimization to obtain globally optimal solutions of the original non-convex optimal control problem. The solution approach is demonstrated on a number of planetary soft landing optimal control problems.     

Adaptive stochastic control for a class of linear systems

The problem considered in this paper deals with the control of linear discrete-time stochastic systems with unknown (possibly time-varying and random) gain parameters. The philosophy of control is based on the use of an open-loop feedback optimal (OLFO) control using a quadratic index of performance. It is shown that the OLFO system consists of 1) an identifier that estimates the system state variables and gain parameters and 2) a controller described by an "adaptive" gain and correction term. Several qualitative properties and asymptotic properties of the OLFO adaptive system are discussed. Simulation results dealing with the control of stable and unstable third-order plants are presented. The key quantitative result is the precise variation of the control system adaptive gains as a function of the future expected uncertainty of the parameters; thus, in this problem the ordinary "separation theorem" does not hold.     

Adaptive control of a class of nonlinear systems using multiple models with smooth controller

The idea of using multiple models to improve transient performance in adaptive control systems with large uncertainty or time varying parameters was introduced in 1990s. However, the commonly used scheme with switching has some potential drawbacks. In this paper, a new multiple model scheme is proposed for strict‐feedback nonlinear systems. In order to avoid the possible chattering resulted from the controller's switching, a continuous controller based on the convex combination of parameter estimates of identification models is presented, which ensures the better use of the information of identification models than the switching scheme. Also, the number of necessary models is just one more than the dimension of the unknown system parameter, which is more practical. Simulation studies are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed scheme. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Adaptive output feedback control of a class of multi-input multi-output systems using neural networks

For a class of uncertain multi-input multi-output non-linear systems an adaptive output feedback control methodology is developed using linearly parameterized neural networks. The neural network operates over a tapped delay line of memory units, comprised of system input/output signals. The adaptive laws for neural network parameters are written in terms of a linear observer of the nominal system's error dynamics. Ultimate boundedness of the error signals is shown through Lyapunov's direct method. Simulations illustrate the theoretical results.     

Adaptive finite-time control for a class of switched nonlinear systems using multiple Lyapunov functions

This paper investigates the problem of global adaptive finite-time stabilisation for a class of switched nonlinearly parameterised systems. Without requiring that each subsystem is globally adaptively finite-time stabilisable, a switched adaptive finite-time control scheme is developed by exploiting the multiple Lyapunov functions method and adding a power integrator technique. By using the parameter separation technique, the unknown parameters are separated from nonlinear functions. On the basis of finite-time Lyapunov stability theory, it is proved that the proposed controller can guarantee that the state of the resulting closed-loop system converges to the origin in finite time. Finally, an example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Adaptive backstepping control for a class of semistrict feedback nonlinear systems using neural networks

This paper addresses a neural adaptive backstepping control with dynamic surface control technique for a class of semistrict feedback nonlinear systems with bounded external disturbances.Neural networks (NNs) are introduced as approximators for uncertain nonlinearities and the dynamic surface control (DSC) technique is involved to solve the so-called "explosion of terms" problem.In addition,the NN is used to approximate the transformed unknown functions but not the original nonlinear functions to overcome the possible singularity problem.The stability of closed-loop system is proven by using Lyapunov function method,and adaptation laws of NN weights are derived from the stability analysis.Finally,a numeric simulation validates the results of theoretical analysis.     

Adaptive output control of a class of uncertain chaotic systems

In this paper, a new observer-based backstepping output control scheme is proposed for stabilizing and controlling a class of uncertain chaotic systems. The controller is designed through the use of a robust observer and backstepping technique. We firstly show that many chaotic systems as paradigms in the research of chaos can be transformed into a class of nonlinear systems in the feedback form. Secondly, the synchronization problem is converted to the tracking problem from control theory, thereby leading to the use of state observer design techniques. A new observer is utilized to estimate the unmeasured states. Unlike some existing methods for chaos control, no priori knowledge on the system parameters is required and only the output signal is available for control purpose. The Lyapunov functions are quadratic in the state estimates, the observer errors and the parameter estimation error based on the backstepping technique. It is shown that not only global stability is guaranteed by the proposed controller, but also both transient and asymptotic tracking performances are quantified as explicit functions of the design parameters so that designers can tune the design parameters in an explicit way to obtain the desired closed-loop behavior.     

Adaptive control of a class of discrete-time affine nonlinear systems

The adaptive control problem is addressed in the paper for a class of discrete-time affine nonlinear input/output stochastic models with linear unknown parameters. The controller is a certainty equivalence weighted one-step-ahead control and is constructed by using the weighted-least-squares and random regularization methods. Global stability of the closed-loop systems is established, which shows that arbitrarily large growth rate is allowed for the multiplicative nonlinear part of the systems.

Adaptive observer-based control for a class of nonlinear stochastic systems

In this paper, the adaptive state estimation and state-feedback stabilization problems for a class of nonlinear stochastic systems with unknown constant parameters are studied. The sequential design methods are proposed to construct the adaptive controllers. Adaptive state and parameter estimators are designed by using a stochastic Lyapunov method and the separation theory of the design for the state-feedback gain and observer gain, which guarantees that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable in the mean-square sense. Sufficient conditions for the existence of parameters estimator are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, the numerical examples are provided to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed theoretical results.
