Adaptive fuzzy backstepping control for a class of MIMO switched nonlinear systems with unknown control directions

In this article, an adaptive fuzzy output tracking control approach is proposed for a class of multiple‐input and multiple‐output uncertain switched nonlinear systems with unknown control directions and under arbitrary switchings. In the control design, fuzzy logic systems are used to identify the unknown switched nonlinear systems. A Nussbaum gain function is introduced into the control design and the unknown control direction problem is solved. Under the framework of the backstepping control design, fuzzy adaptive control and common Lyapunov function stability theory, a new adaptive fuzzy output tracking control method is developed. It is proved that the proposed control approach can guarantee that all the signals in the closed‐loop system are bounded and the tracking error remains an adjustable neighborhood of the origin. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 155–166, 2016     

Adaptive fuzzy backstepping control design for a class of pure-feedback switched nonlinear systems

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy output tracking control approach is proposed for a class of single input and single output (SISO) uncertain pure-feedback switched nonlinear systems under arbitrary switchings. Fuzzy logic systems are used to identify the unknown nonlinear system. Under the framework of the backstepping control design and fuzzy adaptive control, a new adaptive fuzzy output tracking control method is developed. It is proved that the proposed control approach can guarantee that all the signals in the closed-loop system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB) and the tracking error remains an adjustable neighborhood of the origin. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Adaptive-observer-based output-constrained tracking of a class of arbitrarily switched uncertain non-affine nonlinear systems

This paper addresses an adaptive output-feedback tracking problem of arbitrarily switched pure-feedback nonlinear systems with time-varying output constraints and unknown control directions. In this work, the tracking problem of switched non-affine nonlinear systems with output constraints is transformed into the stabilization problem of switched unconstrained affine systems. The main contribution of this paper is to present a universal formula for constructing an adaptive state-observer-based tracking controller with only two adaptive parameters by using the common Lyapunov function method. These adaptive parameters in the proposed control scheme are derived using the function approximation technique and a priori knowledge of the signs of control gain functions is not required. The theoretical analysis is presented for the Lyapunov stability and the constraint satisfaction of the resulting closed-loop system in the presence of arbitrary switchings.

A novel adaptive non-backstepping VUFC algorithm for a class of MIMO nonlinear systems with unknown dead-zones in pure-feedback form

In this paper, based on adaptive non-backstepping design algorithm, we proposed a novel variable universe fuzzy control (VUFC) algorithm for a class of MIMO nonlinear systems with unknown dead-zone inputs in pure-feedback form. First, by introducing some new states variables and coordinate transforms, the system is converted form the state-feedback control of pure-feedback form into the output-feedback control of normal form. Secondly, different from traditional backstepping scheme,we introduce contraction–expansion factors, combine non-backstepping control technique and VUFC scheme together to construct the controllers and observers. VUFC approach is mainly based on changing the contraction–expansion factor to change the universe of the variables (which can change the interpolation node encryption). It is shown that the proposed control approach is considerably simpler and better than the backstepping-based ones and it can improve the accuracy of the system, alleviate tracking error, strong robustness. At last, according to stable positive real (SPR)-Lyapunov stability analysis, it can guarantee that all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded and the output can tack the reference signal to a small neighborhood of the origin. Simulations results are illustrated that the effectiveness of the proposed VUFC approach.

Adaptive event-triggered dynamic distributed control of switched positive systems with switching faults

This paper designs the dynamic output-feedback controller of switched positive systems subject to switching faults using an improved adaptive event-triggering mechanism. An adaptive event-triggering condition is addressed in the form of 1-norm by virtue of the measurable outputs of distributed sensors and the corresponding error. An error-based closed-loop control system whose dynamic variable relies on a state observer is obtained. A multiple copositive Lyapunov function is constructed to deal with the positivity and stability of the systems. The matrix decomposition and linear programming approaches are used to design and compute the controller and observer gains. An improved average dwell time scheme is proposed to handle the switching faults. The contributions of this paper lie in that: (i) An adaptive event-triggering mechanism is established for switched positive systems, (ii) A framework on the fault of switching signal is constructed, and (iii) A dynamic distributed controller is proposed for the considered systems. Finally, two illustrative examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the obtained results.     

A new method for control of nonlinear state-dependent switched systems

In this paper, a new method for the control of input-affine nonlinear switched systems is introduced. The system switching conditions are assumed to be state-dependent, rather than the simpler input-dependent case. The main contribution of this research is that the effects of switched dynamics are interpreted as a model uncertainty bounded within a polynomial of states norms, with unknown coefficients. In order to prevent extra conservativeness, coefficients are tuned adaptively, so that a minimal state-varying bound could be achieved. This is unlike the conventional sliding mode control (SMC) scheme, where the existence of a constant and usually large upper bound must be presumed. To address the challenge of coping with such a new concept of uncertainty, an extended form of the original adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control scheme is proposed. Adaptation laws are used to tune a fuzzy controller and also real-time estimation of the instantaneous bound of uncertainties. Closed-loop stability is guaranteed by proposing a group of multiple Lyapunov functions (MLF) with tunable parameters. Except for the mild condition that the largest difference between the magnitudes of the sub-manifolds of the switched system is bounded by a polynomial of states with uncertain coefficients, the proposed method has the distinct advantage that no information about the dynamic equations or switching conditions is required in the control design stage. The proposed method is applied to the two challenging case studies, depicting the outstanding effectiveness of the method.     

Adaptive fuzzy control‐based projective synchronization of uncertain nonaffine chaotic systems

This article aims to introduce a projective synchronization approach based on adaptive fuzzy control for a class of perturbed uncertain multivariable nonaffine chaotic systems. The fuzzy‐logic systems are employed to approximate online the uncertain functions. A Lyapunov approach is used to design the parameter adaptation laws and to demonstrate the boundedness of all signals of the closed‐loop system as well as the convergence of the synchronization errors to bounded residual sets. Finally, numerical simulation results are presented to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed synchronization system based on fuzzy adaptive controller. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control for synchronization of uncertain fractional order chaotic systems

This paper deals with chaos synchronization between two different uncertain fractional order chaotic systems based on adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control (AFSMC). With the definition of fractional derivatives and integrals, a fuzzy Lyapunov synthesis approach is proposed to tune free parameters of the adaptive fuzzy controller on line by output feedback control law and adaptive law. Moreover, chattering phenomena in the control efforts can be reduced. The sliding mode design procedure not only guarantees the stability and robustness of the proposed AFSMC, but also the external disturbance on the synchronization error can be attenuated. The simulation example is included to confirm validity and synchronization performance of the advocated design methodology.     

Adaptive tracking control for a class of switched uncertain nonlinear systems under a new state-dependent switching law

This paper deals with the problem of adaptive fuzzy tracking control for a class of switched uncertain nonlinear systems. Fuzzy logic systems are utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, and the adaptive backstepping and dynamic surface control techniques are adopted. First, a new state-dependent switching method is proposed. By introducing convex combination technique and designing a state-dependent switching law, only the solvability of the adaptive tracking control problem for a convex combination of the subsystems is necessary. Second, a new common Lyapunov function with switched adaptive parameters is constructed to reduce the conservatism. Third, to avoid Zeno behavior, a modified state-dependent switching law with dwell time is proposed. It is shown that under the proposed control and switching laws, all the signals of the closed-loop system are bounded and all the state tracking errors can converge to a priori accuracy, even if some subsystems are uncontrollable. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated through two simulation examples.

Adaptive fuzzy output feedback control for a single-link flexible robot manipulator driven DC motor via backstepping

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy output feedback approach is proposed for a single-link robotic manipulator coupled to a brushed direct current (DC) motor with a nonrigid joint. The controller is designed to compensate for the nonlinear dynamics associated with the mechanical subsystem and the electrical subsystems while only requiring the measurements of link position. Using fuzzy logic systems to approximate the unknown nonlinearities, an adaptive fuzzy filter observer is designed to estimate the immeasurable states. By combining the adaptive backstepping and dynamic surface control (DSC) techniques, an adaptive fuzzy output feedback control approach is developed. Stability proof of the overall closed-loop system is given via the Lyapunov direct method. Three key advantages of our scheme are as follows: (i) the proposed adaptive fuzzy control approach does not require that all the states of the system be measured directly, (ii) the proposed control approach can solve the control problem of robotic manipulators with unknown nonlinear uncertainties, and (iii) the problem of “explosion of complexity” existing in the conventional backstepping control methods is avoided. The detailed simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.     

Indirect adaptive fuzzy observer and controller design based on interval type-2 T-S fuzzy model

This paper presents the design scheme of the indirect adaptive fuzzy observer and controller based on the interval type-2 (IT2) T-S fuzzy model. The nonlinear systems can be well approximated by IT2 T-S fuzzy model, in which the fuzzy rules’ antecedents are interval type-2 fuzzy sets and consequents are linear state equations. The proposed IT2 T-S fuzzy model is a combination of IT2 fuzzy system and T-S fuzzy model, and also inherits the benefits of type-2 fuzzy logic systems, which is able to directly handle uncertainties and can minimize the effects of uncertainties in rule-based fuzzy system. These characteristics can improve the accuracy of the system modeling and reduce the number of system rules. The proposed method using feedback control, adaptive laws, and on-line object parameters are adjusted to ensure observation error bounded. In addition, using Lyapunov synthesis approach and Lipschitz condition, the stability analysis is conducted. The simulation results show that the proposed method can handle unpredicted disturbance and data uncertainties very well in advantage of the effectiveness of observation and control.     

Adaptive fuzzy vendor managed inventory control for mitigating the Bullwhip effect in supply chains

This paper proposes an adaptive fuzzy control application to support a vendor managed inventory (VMI). The methodology applies fuzzy control to generate an adaptive smoothing constant in the forecast method, production and delivery plan to eliminate, for example, the rationing and gaming or the Houlihan effect and the order batching effect or the Burbidge effects and finally the Bullwhip effect. The results show that the adaptive fuzzy VMI control surpasses fuzzy VMI control and traditional VMI in terms of mitigating the Bullwhip effect and lower delivery overshoots and backorders. This paper also guides management in allocating inventory by coordinating suppliers and buyers to ensure minimum inventory levels across a supply chain. Adaptive fuzzy VMI control is the main contribution of this paper.
