Output feedback stabilisation of high-order nonlinear feedforward time-delay systems

This paper studies the output feedback control problem for high-order nonlinear feedforward time-delay systems. Systems become more general due to both low-order and high-order in nonlinearities taking any value in certain intervals. By constructing the new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and reduced-order observer, based on the homogeneous domination theory, an output feedback controller is developed to guarantee high-order nonlinear feedforward time-delay systems globally asymptotically stable. A simulation example demonstrates the theoretical result.
