Adaptive Decentralized NN Control of Nonlinear Interconnected Time‐Delay Systems with Input Saturation

In this paper, a novel decentralized adaptive neural control scheme is proposed for a class of interconnected large‐scale uncertain nonlinear time‐delay systems with input saturation. Radial basis function (RBF) neural networks (NNs) are used to tackle unknown nonlinear functions. Then, the decentralized adaptive NN tracking controller is constructed by combining Lyapunov–Krasovskii functions and the dynamic surface control (DSC) technique, along with the minimal‐learning‐parameters (MLP) algorithm. The stability analysis subject to the effect of input saturation constraints are conducted with the help of an auxiliary design system based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii method. The proposed controller guarantees uniform ultimate boundedness (UUB) of all of the signals in the closed‐loop large‐scale system, while the tracking errors converge to a small neighborhood around the origin. An advantage of the proposed control scheme lies in the number of adaptive parameters of the whole system being reduced to one and in the solution of the three problems of “computational explosion,” “dimension curse,” and “controller singularity”. Finally, simulation results along with comparisons are presented to demonstrate the advantages, effectiveness, and performance of the proposed scheme.     

Adaptive Neural Dynamic Surface Control For Nonlinear Pure‐Feedback Systems With Multiple Time‐Varying Delays: A Lyapunov‐Razumikhin Method

This paper focuses on the problem of adaptive neural control for a class of uncertain nonlinear pure‐feedback systems with multiple unknown time‐varying delays. The considered problem is challenging due to the non‐affine pure‐feedback form and the unknown system functions with multiple unknown time‐varying delays. Based on a novel combination of mean value theorem, Razumikhin functional method, dynamic surface control (DSC) technique and neural network (NN) parameterization, a new adaptive neural controller which contains only one parameter is developed for such systems. Moreover, The DSC technique can overcome the problem of ‘explosion of complexity’ in the traditional backstepping design procedure. All closed‐loop signals are shown to be semi‐globally uniformly ultimately bounded, and the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of the origin. Two simulation examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design.

Based on the Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional and stochastic Barbalat's lemma, it is proved that the proposed universal‐type adaptive output feedback controller can regulate all the states of the closed‐loop system almost surely. A simulation example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design procedure.     

Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control of Nonlinear Systems with Unknown and Time‐Varying Saturation

In this paper, a robust adaptive fuzzy control approach is proposed for a class of nonlinear systems in strict‐feedback form with the unknown time‐varying saturation input. To deal with the time‐varying saturation problem, a novel controller separation approach is proposed in the literature to separate the desired control signal from the practical constrained control input. Furthermore, an optimized adaptation method is applied to the dynamic surface control design to reduce the number of adaptive parameters. By utilizing the Lyapunov synthesis, the fuzzy logic system technique and the Nussbaum function technique, an adaptive fuzzy control algorithm is constructed to guarantee that all the signals in the closed‐loop control system remain semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded, and the tracking error is driven to an adjustable neighborhood of the origin. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme in the literature.

This paper proposes a robust adaptive dynamic surface control (DSC) scheme for a class of time‐varying delay systems with backlash‐like hysteresis input. The main features of the proposed DSC method are that 1) by using a transformation function, the prescribed transient performance of the tracking error can be guaranteed; 2) by estimating the norm of the unknown weighted vector of the neural network, the computational burden can be greatly reduced; 3) by using the DSC method, the explosion of complexity problem is eliminated. It is proved that the proposed scheme guarantees all the closed‐loop signals being uniformly ultimately bounded. The simulation results show the validity of the proposed control scheme.

This paper focuses on investigating the issue of adaptive state-feedback control based on neural networks(NNs)for a class of high-order stochastic uncertain systems with unknown nonlinearities. By introducing the radial basis function neural network(RBFNN) approximation method, utilizing the backstepping method and choosing an approximate Lyapunov function, we construct an adaptive state-feedback controller which assures the closed-loop system to be mean square semi-global-uniformly ultimately bounded(M-SGUUB). A simulation example is shown to illustrate the effectiveness of the design scheme.     

Adaptive Dynamic Surface Control with Guaranteed L∞ Tracking Performance for a Class of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems with Unknown Time Delays

This paper is aimed at exploring dynamic surface control (DSC) for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems in strict‐feedback form with time delays. Combining the Finite Covering Lemma (Heine‐Borel Theorem) with neural networks, a novel method is proposed to approximate time delay terms, which leads to the abandonment of traditional Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functionals. Then, a surface error modification and an initialization technique are proposed to guarantee the tracking performance. Moreover, by applying a newly‐developed neural network based adaptive control technique, it is shown that the update law for the proposed DSC scheme is needed only at the last design step with only one parameter being estimated online, which significantly reduces the computational burden, compared with current DSC schemes. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed scheme.

Dynamic Output‐Feedback Control for T‐S Fuzzy Systems with Input Time‐Varying Delay

This paper considers the problem of the control for T‐S fuzzy systems with input time‐varying delay via dynamic output feedback. Firstly, by applying the reciprocally convex approach, new delay‐dependent sufficient condition for performance analysis is obtained. Then, a less conservative condition for the existence of the controllers is given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Moreover, in the considered system, the time‐delay term is included in the measured output. This results in the difficulty in designing the controllers being increased and the obtained results being applied to a wider class of fuzzy systems than the most existing ones. The main contribution of this work lies in the application of the reciprocally convex inequality and the time‐delay term included in the measured output. Finally, the advantages and effectiveness of the present results are shown by several numerical examples.     

Adaptive Fuzzy Control for Nonlinear Time‐Delay Systems with Dynamical Uncertainties

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy backstepping robust control approach is proposed for a class of SISO nonlinear strict‐feedback systems. The nonlinear systems addressed in this paper are assumed to possess three uncertainties: (i) the unstructured uncertainties; (ii) the time delays; and (iii) the dynamics uncertainties. In adaptive backstepping recursive design, fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the unstructured uncertainties. A nonlinear damping technique and Lyapunov–Krasovskii functions are introduced to cancel the effects of the dynamics uncertainties and deal with the time delays, respectively. Combining the backstepping technique and a small gain approach, a stable adaptive fuzzy robust control approach is developed. It is proved that all the signals of the closed‐loop system are semi‐golablly uniformaly ultimately bounded (SUUB). The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by a simulation example.     

Robust Adaptive Dynamic Surface Control for a Class of MIMO Nonlinear Systems with Unknown Non‐Symmetric Dead‐Zone

This paper is devoted to adaptive output tracking for a class of multi‐input multi‐output nonlinear systems with unknown non‐symmetric dead‐zone. With the aid of a matrix factorization and a similarity transformation, a robust adaptive dynamic surface control scheme is proposed and the difficulty caused by the control gain matrix and the dead‐zone is circumvented. By introducing a surface error modification and an initialization technique, we show that the performance of the tracking errors can be guaranteed. Moreover, the proposed scheme contains only one updated parameter at each design step, which significantly reduces the computational burden. It is proven that all signals of the closed‐loop system are semi‐globally uniformly bounded. Simulation results on coupled inverted double pendulums are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

State‐Feedback Stabilization of Stochastic Nonlinear Systems with Time‐Varying Delay and Different Orders

This paper studies the problem of state feedback stabilization for a class of stochastic time‐varying delay nonlinear systems which are neither necessarily feedback linearizable nor affine in the control input. Based on the backstepping design method and the adding of a power integrator technique, a state feedback controller is constructed to ensure the origin of closed‐loop system is globally asymptotically stable in probability. The main design difficulty is how to deal with the different power orders, time‐varying delay and the nonsmooth system perturbations. The efficiency of the state feedback controller is demonstrated by a simulation example.     

Passive Control for Stochastic Interval Systems with Interval Time‐Varying Delay

This paper is concerned with the problem of delay‐dependent passive analysis and control for stochastic interval systems with interval time‐varying delay. The system matrices are assumed to be uncertain within given intervals, and the time delay is a time‐varying continuous function belonging to a given range. By the transformation of the interval uncertainty into the norm‐bounded uncertainty, partitioning the delay into two segments of equal length, and constructing an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional in each segment of the delay interval, delay‐dependent stochastic passive control criteria are proposed without ignoring any useful terms by considering the information of the lower bound and upper bound for the time delay. The main contribution of this paper is that a tighter upper bound of the stochastic differential of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is obtained via a newly‐proposed bounding condition. Based on the criteria obtained, a delay‐dependent passive controller is presented. The results are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

Finally, simulation results are presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed scheme.

Time-Varying Asymmetrical BLFs Based Adaptive Finite-Time Neural Control of Nonlinear Systems With Full State Constraints

This paper concentrates on asymmetric barrier Lyapunov functions (ABLFs) based on finite-time adaptive neural network (NN) control methods for a class of nonlinear strict feedback systems with time-varying full state constraints. During the process of backstepping recursion, the approximation properties of NNs are exploited to address the problem of unknown internal dynamics. The ABLFs are constructed to make sure that the time-varying asymmetrical full state constraints are always satisfied. According to the Lyapunov stability and finite-time stability theory, it is proven that all the signals in the closed-loop systems are uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB) and the system output is driven to track the desired signal as quickly as possible near the origin. In the meantime, in the scope of finite-time, all states are guaranteed to stay in the pre-given range. Finally, a simulation example is proposed to verify the feasibility of the developed finite time control algorithm.

Cooperative Adaptive Fuzzy Output Feedback Control for Synchronization of Nonlinear Multi‐Agent Systems in the Presence of Input Saturation

This paper considers the leader‐following synchronization problem of nonlinear multi‐agent systems with unmeasurable states in the presence of input saturation. Each follower is governed by a class of strict‐feedback systems with unknown nonlinearities and the information of the leader can be accessed by only a small fraction of followers. An auxiliary system is introduced and its states are used to design the cooperative controllers for counteracting the effect of input saturation. By using fuzzy logic systems to approximate the unknown nonlinearities, local adaptive fuzzy observers are designed to estimate the unmeasurable states. Dynamic surface control (DSC) is employed to design distributed adaptive fuzzy output feedback controllers. The developed controllers guarantee that the outputs of all followers synchronize to that of the leader under directed communication graphs. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, it is proved that all signals in the closed‐loop systems are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB), and the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of the origin. An example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.
