Discrete-time switching periodic adaptive control for time-varying parameters with unknown periodicity

In this paper, we address the problem of unknown periodicity for a class of discrete-time nonlinear parametric systems without assuming any growth conditions on the nonlinearities. The unknown periodicity hides in the parametric uncertainties, which is difficult to estimate with existing techniques. By incorporating a logic-based switching mechanism, we identify the period and bound of unknown parameter simultaneously. Lyapunov-based analysis is given to demonstrate that a finite number of switchings can guarantee the asymptotic tracking for the nonlinear parametric systems. The simulation result also shows the efficacy of the proposed switching periodic adaptive control approach.     

Observer-based adaptive control for nonlinear input-delay systems with unknown control directions

This paper investigates the problem of adaptive control for strict-feedback nonlinear systems with input delay and unknown control directions. The Nussbaum function is utilised to deal with the unknown control directions and a novel compensation system is introduced to handle the time-varying input delay. By using neural network(NN) approximation and backstepping approaches, an adaptive NN controller is designed which can guarantee the semi-global boundedness of all the signals in the closed-loop system. Two simulation examples are also given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Global adaptive exponential stabilisation for nonlinear systems with multiple unknown control directions

In this paper, we address the global generalised exponential stabilisation problem for a class of lower-triangular systems with multiple unknown directions. Instead of the well-known Nussbaum-gain adaptive rule, a Lyapunov-based adaptive logic switching rule is proposed to seek the correct control directions for such systems. The main advantage of the proposed controller is that it can guarantee the global generalised exponential stability of closed-loop systems. Simulation examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the developed control approach.     

Event-triggered adaptive tracking control for nonlinear systems with input saturation and unknown control directions

This article is concerned with event-triggered adaptive tracking control design of strict-feedback nonlinear systems, which are subject to input saturation and unknown control directions. In the design procedure, a smooth nonlinear function is employed to approximate the saturation function so that the controller can be designed under the framework of backstepping. The Nussbaum gain technique is employed to address the issue of the unknown control directions. A predetermined time convergent performance function and a nonlinear mapping technique are introduced to guarantee that the tracking error can converge in the predetermined time with a fast convergence rate and a high accuracy. Then the event-triggered adaptive prescribed performance tracking control strategy is proposed, which not only ensures the boundedness of all the closed-loop signals and the convergence of tracking error but also reduces the communication burden from the controller to the actuator. At last, the simulation study further tests the availability of the proposed control strategy.     

Decentralized adaptive iterative learning control for interconnected systems with uncertainties

In many applications,the system dynamics allows the decomposition into lower dimensional subsystems with interconnections among them.This decomposition is motivated by the ease and flexibility of the controller design for each subsystem.In this paper,a decentralized model reference adaptive iterative learning control scheme is developed for interconnected systems with model uncertainties.The interconnections in the dynamic equations of each subsystem are considered with unknown boundaries.The proposed controller of each subsystem depends only on local state variables without any information exchange with other subsystems.The adaptive parameters are updated along iteration axis to compensate the interconnections among subsystems.It is shown that by using the proposed decentralized controller,the states of the subsystems can track the desired reference model states iteratively.Simulation results demonstrate that,utilizing the proposed adaptive controller,the tracking error for each subsystem converges along the iteration axis.     

Multiple model adaptive control for a class of nonlinear systems with unknown control directions

This study introduces an improved multiple model adaptive control (MMAC) algorithm for a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems. The controller consists of a linear direct adaptive controller, a neural network-based nonlinear direct adaptive controller and a switching mechanism. The assumption of the nonlinear term is relaxed by incorporating a parameter estimator with an augmented error. The control direction of the system is not required to be known by employing a linear direct adaptive controller with the discrete Nussbaum gain and future output predictions. The stability of the closed-loop systems applying the proposed MMAC method is proved and the improved transient performance of the system is illustrated by the simulation results.     

Robust adaptive control for uncertain nonlinear systems with unknown control directions and actuator nonlinearity

A robust adaptive control scheme is proposed for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems in strict feedback form with both unknown control directions and non-symmetric dead-zone nonlinearity based on backstepping design.The conditions that the dead-zone slopes and the boundaries are equal and symmetric are removed by simplifying nonlinear dead-zone input model,the assumption that the priori knowledge of the control directions to be known is eliminated by utilizing Nussbaum-type gain technique and neural networks(NN) approximation capability.The possible controller singularity problem and the effect of dead-zone input nonlinearity are avoided perfectly by combining integral Lyapunov design with sliding mode control strategy.All the signals in the closed-loop system are guaranteed to be semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded and the tracking error of the system is proven to be converged to a small neighborhood of the origin.Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

Adaptive iterative learning control for nonlinearly parameterized systems with unknown time-varying delays

First of all, an adaptive iterative learning control strategy is developed for a class of nonlinearly parameterized systems with two unknown time-varying parameters and one unknown time-varying delay. The proposed control law includes a PID-type feedback term in time domain and an adaptive learning term used to estimate the unknown time-varying vector in iteration domain. By constructing a Lyapunov-Krasovskii-like composite energy function, we prove the stability of the closed-loop system and the convergence of the tracking error. Then, the design idea is further extended to a broader class of systems with mixed parameters in which the unknown time-invariant vector is estimated by a PI-type learning law in time domain. The simulation results, for a time-delay chaotic system, confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

Discrete-time inverse model-based iterative learning control: stability,monotonicity and robustness

This paper considers the robustness of an inverse iterative learning control algorithm. A simple learning gain results in robust convergence that is monotonic in the least squares sense provided that the multiplicative plant uncertainty satisfies a matrix positivity requirement. The results are extended to the frequency domain using a simple graphical Nyquist test. The analysis extends naturally to a parameter-optimal control setting. Non-monotone convergence is considered by using a simple weighted norm based on exponential weighting of time series.     

Global adaptive stabilisation for nonlinear systems with unknown control directions and input disturbance

This paper addresses the global adaptive stabilisation via switching and learning strategies for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems. Remarkably, the systems in question simultaneously have unknown control directions, unknown input disturbance and unknown growth rate, which makes the problem in question challenging to solve and essentially different from those in the existing literature. To solve the problem, an adaptive scheme via switching and learning is proposed by skilfully integrating the techniques of backstepping design, adaptive learning and adaptive switching. One key point in the design scheme is the introduction of the learning mechanism, in order to compensate the unknown input disturbance, and the other one is the design of the switching mechanism, through tuning the design parameters online to deal with the unknown control directions, unknown bound and period of input disturbance and unknown growth rate. The designed controller guarantees that all the signals of the resulting closed-loop systems are bounded, and furthermore, the closed-loop system states globally converge to zero.     

Low‐complexity adaptive tracking control of MIMO nonlinear systems with unknown control directions

This paper is concerned with the tracking control problem for a class of multiple‐input–multiple‐output systems with unmatched disturbances and the unknown additive and multiplicative nonlinearities. The objective is to provide a low‐complexity control solution in the sense that (i) approximating structures are not involved, despite unknown nonlinearities and (ii) iterative calculations of command derivatives are avoided in the backstepping design. A robust adaptive control strategy is proposed to fulfill the task. In the control design, a new‐type adaptive law is first developed to update Nussbaum gains to handle control direction uncertainties, while ensuring Nussbaum gains bounded. Then, the potential robustness of error constraint techniques is exploited to counteract the effects of unknown nonlinearities and disturbances and achieve predefined transient and steady‐state tracking performance. Finally, simulation results are given to illustrate the above theoretical findings.     

Indirect adaptive fuzzy control for a class of nonaffine nonlinear systems with unknown control directions

This article presents an indirect adaptive fuzzy control scheme for a class of nonlinear uncertain nonaffine systems with unknown control directions. The nonlinear nonaffine system is first transformed into an affine form by using a Taylor series expansion, and then fuzzy systems are employed to approximate the equivalent affine system’s unknown nonlinearities. By modifying the estimated input control gain and using a novel smooth robust control term, a stable well-defined adaptive controller is proposed. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed scheme.     

Output feedback adaptive control of a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems with unknown control directions

In this paper, output feedback adaptive control is investigated for a class of nonlinear systems in output-feedback form with unknown control gains. To construct output feedback control, the system is transformed into the form of the NARMA (nonlinear-auto-regressive-moving-average) model, based on which future output prediction is carried out. With employment of the predicted future output, a constructive output feedback adaptive control is given with the discrete Nussbaum gain exploited to overcome the difficulty due to unknown control directions. Under the global Lipschitz condition of the system functions, the boundedness of all the closed-loop signals and asymptotical output tracking are achieved by the proposed control. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
