We consider nonlinear systems in the strict-feedback form with simultaneous time-varying input and state delays, for which we design a predictor-based feedback controller. Our design is based on time-varying, infinite-dimensional backstepping transformations that we introduce, to convert the system to a globally asymptotically stable system. The solutions of the closed-loop system in the transformed variables can be found explicitly, which allows us to establish its global asymptotic stability. Based on the invertibility of the backstepping transformation, we prove global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system in the original variables. Our design is illustrated by a numerical example.

Abstract This paper is concerned with the discrete event-triggered dynamic output-feedback ${H}_{\infty }$ control problem for the uncertain networked control system, where the time-varying sampling, network-induced delay and packet losses are taken into account simultaneously. The random packet losses are described via the Bernoulli distribution. And then, the closed-loop system is modelled as an augmented time-delay system with interval time-varying delay. By using the Lyapunov stability theory and the augmented state space method, the sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system are proposed in the form of linear matrix inequalities. At the same time, the design method of the ${H}_{\infty }$ controller is created. Finally, a numerical example is employed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Purpose This paper aims to deal with the problem of the global stabilization for a class of tension leg platform (TLP) nonlinear control systems. Design/methodology/approach It is well-known that, in general, the global asymptotic stability of the TLP subsystems does not imply the global asymptotic stability of the composite closed-loop system. Findings An effective approach is proposed to control chaos via the combination of fuzzy controllers, fuzzy observers and dithers. Research limitations/implications If a fuzzy controller and a fuzzy observer cannot stabilize the chaotic system, a dither, as an auxiliary of the controller and the observer, is simultaneously introduced to asymptotically stabilize the chaotic system. Originality/value Thus, the behavior of the closed-loop dithered chaotic system can be rigorously predicted by establishing that of the closed-loop fuzzy relaxed system.

Cooperative attitude regulation and tracking problems are discussed in the presence of multiple time-varying communication delays and dynamically changing topologies. In the case of cooperative attitude regulation, we propose conditions to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system when there exist multiple time-varying communication delays. In the case of cooperative attitude tracking, the result of uniformly ultimate boundedness of the closed-loop system is obtained when there exist both multiple time-varying communication delays and dynamically changing topologies. Simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of these conclusions.

In this paper, an adaptive robust stabilization algorithm is presented for a class of non-linear systems with mismatched uncertainties. In this regard, a new controller based on the Lyapunov theory is proposed in order to overcome the problem of stabilizing non-linear time-varying systems with mismatched uncertainties. This method is such that the stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed in the absence of the triangularity assumption. The proposed approach leads to asymptotic convergence of the states of the closed-loop system to zero for unknown but bounded uncertainties. Subsequently, this method is modified so that all the signals in the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded. Eventually, numerical simulations support the effectiveness of the given algorithm.

Abstract In this paper, two novel adaptive control strategies are presented based on the linear matrix inequality for nonlinear Lipschitz systems. The proposed approaches are developed by creatively using Krasovskii stability theory to compensate parametric uncertainty, unknown time-varying internal delay, and bounded matched or mismatched disturbance effects in closed-loop system of nonlinear systems. The online adaptive tuning controllers are designed such that reference input tracking and asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system are guaranteed. A novel structural algorithm is developed based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) and boundaries of the system delay or uncertainty. The capabilities of the proposed tracking and regulation methods are verified by simulation of three physical uncertain nonlinear system with real practical parameters subject to internal or state time delay and disturbance.

This paper proposes a robust optimal attitude control design for multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) uncertain hexarotor micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) in the presence of parametric uncertainties, external time-varying disturbances, nonlinear dynamics, and coupling. The parametric uncertainties, external time-varying disturbances, nonlinear dynamics, and coupling are treated as the total disturbance in the proposed design. The proposed controller is achieved in two simple steps. First, an optimal linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) controller is designed to guarantee that the nominal closed-loop system is asymptotically stable without considering the total disturbance. After that, a disturbance observer is integrated into the closed-loop system to estimate the total disturbance acting on the system. The total disturbance is compensated by a compensation input based on the estimated total disturbance. Robust properties analysis is given to prove that the state is ultimately bounded in specified boundaries. Simulation results illustrate the robustness of the disturbance observer-based optimal attitude control design for hovering and aggressive flight missions in the presence of the total disturbance.

In this paper, we propose the disturbance observer-based continuous finite-time sliding mode controller (DOBCSMC) for input-affine nonlinear systems in which additive matched and mismatched disturbances exist. The objective is to show the robustness and disturbance attenuation performance of the closed-loop system with the proposed DOBCSMC subjected to general classes of matched and mismatched disturbances. The proposed DOBCSMC consists of three main features: (i) the nonlinear finite-time disturbance observer to obtain a fast and accurate estimation of matched and mismatched disturbances, (ii) the nonlinear sliding surface to ensure high precision in the steady-state phase of the controlled output, and (iii) the continuous supertwisting algorithm to guarantee finite-time convergence of the controlled output and reduce the chattering under the effect of matched and mismatched disturbances. It should be noted that the existing approaches cannot handle time-varying mismatched disturbances and/or cannot guarantee faster finite-time stability of the controlled output. We prove that the closed-loop system with the DOBCSMC guarantees both finite-time reachability to the sliding surface and finite-time stability of the controlled output to the origin. Various simulations are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed DOBCSMC. In particular, the simulation results show that the DOBCSMC guarantees faster convergence of the closed-loop system to the origin, higher precision of the controlled output, and better robustness performance against various classes of (time-varying) matched and mismatched disturbances, compared with the existing approaches.

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy tracking control is presented for a class of SISO nonlinear strict feedback systems with unknown time delays. The proposed algorithm does not use the backstepping scheme rather it converts the strict-feedback time-delayed system to the normal form. The Mamdani-type fuzzy system is employed to approximate on-line the lumped uncertain system nonlinearity. The developed controller guarantees uniform ultimate boundedness of all signals in the closed-loop system. The designed control law is independent of the time delays and has a simple form with only one adaptive parameter vector needed to be updated on-line. As a result, the proposed control algorithm is considerably simpler than the previous ones based on backstepping. The Lyapunov stability of the fuzzy system parameters and the filtered tracking error is employed to guarantee semiglobal uniform boundedness for the closed loop system. Simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

All real-world systems are affected by the saturation phenomenon due to inherent physical limitations of actuators. These limitations should be taken into account in the controller’s design to prevent a possibly severe deterioration of the system’s performance, and may even lead to instability of the closed-loop system. Contrarily to most of the control strategies, which assume that the saturation limits are constant in time, this paper considers the problem of designing a state-feedback controller for a system affected by time-varying saturation limits with the objective to improve the performance. In order to tie variations of the saturation function to changes in the performance of the closed-loop system, the shifting paradigm is used, that is, some parameters scheduled by the time-varying saturations are introduced to schedule the performance criterion, which is considered to be the instantaneous guaranteed decay rate. The design conditions are obtained within the framework of linear parameter varying (LPV) systems using quadratic Lyapunov functions with constant Lyapunov matrices and they consist in a linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based feasibility problem, which can be solved efficiently using available solvers. Simulation results obtained using an illustrative example demonstrate the validity and the main characteristics of the proposed approach.

This paper proposes a novel fixed-time adaptive general type-2 fuzzy logical control (FAGT2FLC) scheme for an air-breathing hypersonic vehicle (AHV) with uncertainties. Firstly, the AHV dynamic model is transformed into a strict feedback form. Then, the FAGT2FLC is designed based on the transformed model to improve robustness and guarantee fixed-time convergence of the closed-loop system. The general type-2 fuzzy logic system (GT2FLS) is utilized to approximate the model uncertainties; for the purpose of designing adaptive laws, the [Formula: see text]-plane method is employed to represent the GT2FLS. A parameter projection operator is used to solve the possible singularity problem of parameter adaption. Besides, a fixed-time differentiator is used to deal with the “explosion of terms” inherent in backstepping method. Theoretical analysis based on relevant lemmas shows that the closed-loop system will converge into a small error band in fixed time. Lastly, detailed simulations are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control scheme.
