Adaptive neural control for a class of stochastic nonlinear time‐delay systems with unknown dead zone using dynamic surface technique

This paper investigates the problem of adaptive control for a class of stochastic nonlinear time‐delay systems with unknown dead zone. A neural network‐based adaptive control scheme is developed by using the dynamic surface control (DSC) technique and the minimal learning parameters algorithm. The dynamic surface control technique, which can avoid the problem of ‘explosion of complexity’ inherent in the conventional backstepping design procedure, is first extended to the stochastic nonlinear time‐delay system with unknown dead zone. The unknown nonlinearities are approximated by the function approximation technique using the radial basis function neural network. For the purpose of reducing the numbers of parameters, which are updated online for each subsystem in the process of approximating the unknown functions, the minimal learning parameters algorithm is then introduced. Also, the adverse effects of unknown time‐delay are removed by using the appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals. In addition, the proposed control scheme is systematically derived without requiring any information on the boundedness of the dead zone parameters and avoids the possible controller singularity problem in the approximation‐based adaptive control schemes with feedback linearization technique. It is shown that the proposed control approach can guarantee that all the signals of the closed‐loop system are bounded in probability, and the tracking errors can be made arbitrary small by choosing the suitable design parameters. Finally, a simulation example is provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed control scheme. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Adaptive neural dynamic surface control for servo systems with unknown dead-zone

An adaptive neural controller is proposed for nonlinear systems with a nonlinear dead-zone and multiple time-delays. The often used inverse model compensation approach is avoided by representing the dead-zone as a time-varying system. The “explosion of complexity” in the backstepping synthesis is eliminated in terms of the dynamic surface control (DSC) technique. A novel high-order neural network (HONN) with only a scalar weight parameter is developed to account for unknown nonlinearities. The control singularity and some restrictive requirements on the system are circumvented. Simulations and experiments for a turntable servo system with permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) are provided to verify the reliability and effectiveness.     

Adaptive neural network asymptotical tracking control for an uncertain nonlinear system with input quantisation

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 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.

Robust adaptive fuzzy tracking control for a class of perturbed strict-feedback nonlinear systems via small-gain approach

This paper presents a novel robust adaptive fuzzy tracking controller (RAFTC) for a wide class of perturbed strict-feedback nonlinear systems with both unknown system and virtual control gain nonlinearities. For unknown system nonlinearities, two types for them are included: one naturally satisfies the “triangularity condition” and may possess a class of unstructured uncertain functions which are not linearly parameterized, while the other is partially known and consists of parametric uncertainties and known “bounding functions”. The Takagi–Sugeno type fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate unknown system nonlinearities and a systematic design procedure is developed for synthesis of RAFTC by combining the backstepping technique and generalized small-gain approach. The algorithm proposed is highlighted by three advantages: (i) the semi-global uniform ultimate bound of RAFTC in the presence of perturbed uncertainties and unknown virtual control gain nonlinearities can be guaranteed, (ii) the adaptive mechanism with minimal learning parameterizations is obtained and (iii) the possible controller singularity problem in some of the existing adaptive control schemes with feedback linearization techniques can be removed. Performance and limitations of proposed method are discussed and illustrated with simulation results.
