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.     

On output feedback control of singularly perturbed systems

We treat the problem of robustness of output feedback controllers with respect to singular perturbations. Given a singularly perturbed control system whose boundary layer system is exponentially stable and whose reduced order system is exponentially stabilizable via a (possibly dynamical) output feedback controller, we present a sufficient condition which ensures that the system obtained by applying the same controller to the original full order singularly perturbed control system is exponentially stable for sufficiently small values of the perturbation parameter. This condition, which is less restrictive than those previously given in the literature, is shown to be always satisfied when the singular perturbation is due to the presence of fast actuators and/or sensors. Furthermore, we show explicitly that, in the linear time-invariant case, if this condition is not satisfied then there exists an output feedback controller which stabilizes the reduced order system but destabilizes the full order system.     

Stability for uncertain nonlinear dissipative systems

This paper presents a technique for constructing a storage function for a broad class of nonlinear passive systems with mismatched uncertainties. And the problem for H_∞ disturbance attenuation with internal stability is studied by using robust adaptive output feedback controller which need not construct any state observer. The paper also shows how to explicitly design output feedback control that attenuates the disturbances effect on the output to an arbitrary degree of accuracy. Further, the results derived in this paper complement the previous work in the literature.     

Composite nonlinear feedback based discrete integral sliding mode controller for uncertain systems

In this paper, a discrete integral sliding mode (ISM) controller based on composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) method is proposed. The aim of the controller is to improve the transient performance of uncertain systems. The CNF based discrete ISM controller consists of a linear and a nonlinear term. The linear control law is used to decrease the damping ratio of the closed-loop system for yielding a quick transient response. The nonlinear feedback control law is used to increase the damping ratio with an aim to reduce the overshoot of the closed-loop system as it approaches the desired reference position. It is observed that the discrete CNF-ISM controller produces superior transient performance as compared to the discrete ISM controller. The closed-loop control system remains stable during the sliding condition. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.     

Modified function projective lag synchronization of chaotic systems with disturbance estimations

This paper addresses the modified function projective lag synchronization (MFPLS) for a class of chaotic systems with unknown external disturbances. The disturbances are supposed to be generated by the exogenous systems. By using the disturbance-observer-based control and the linear matrix inequality approach, the disturbance observers are developed to ensure the boundedness of the disturbance error dynamics. Then by employing the sliding mode control (SMC) technique, an active SMC law is established to guarantee the disturbance rejection and realize MFPLS between the master and slave systems. And the corresponding numerical simulation is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Decentralized Output Feedback Sliding Mode Control of Nonlinear Large-Scale Systems with Uncertainties

In this paper, a class of nonlinear large-scale interconnected systems with mismatched uncertainties is considered. Based on sliding mode control ideas, a kind of decentralized robust control scheme using only output information is presented to stabilize the system. The approach allows more general uncertain interconnections than all of the associated existing work and better robustness is achieved. Compared with existing decentralized output feedback schemes, it is unnecessary to solve Lyapunov equations and the so-called strict structural condition is avoided. Also, it is not necessary that the nominal subsystem is output feedback stabilizable. Finally, a simulation example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the results.     

Semi-global finite-time output feedback stabilization for a class of large-scale uncertain nonlinear systems

This paper addresses the problem of semi-global finite-time decentralized output feedback control for large-scale systems with both higher-order and lower-order terms. A new design scheme is developed by coupling the finite-time output feedback stabilization method with the homogeneous domination approach. Specifically, we first design a homogeneous observer and an output feedback control law for each nominal subsystem without the nonlinearities. Then, based on the homogeneous domination approach, we relax the linear growth condition to a polynomial one and construct decentralized controllers to render the nonlinear system semi-globally finite-time stable.     

Robust static output feedback variable structure control for nonlinear systems

In this paper, a robust stabilization problem for nonlinearsystems is investigated using static output feedback. Matchedand mismatched uncertainties are considered and their boundingfunctions take general forms. Based on a Lyapunov analysis approachand sliding mode techniques, some conclusions are presented.Then, a robust nonlinear variable structure control scheme issynthesized to stabilize the system globally, and it is notnecessary for the nominal system to be linearizable globally.The conservatism is reduced by using uncertainty bounds in thecontrol design. Finally, a mass–spring system is employedto illustrate the effectiveness of the results.

State feedback and output feedback control of a class of nonlinear systems with delayed measurements

This paper is concerned with the problem of state feedback and output feedback control of a class of nonlinear systems with delayed measurements. This class of nonlinear systems is made up of continuous-time linear systems with nonlinear perturbations. The nonlinearity is assumed to satisfy a global Lipschitz condition and the time delay is assumed to be time-varying and have no restriction on its derivative. On the basis of the Lyapunov–Krasovskii approach, sufficient conditions for the existence of the state feedback controller and the output feedback controller are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Methods of calculating the controller gain matrices are also presented. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

Dynamic compensator design and H∞ admissibilization for delayed singular jump systems via Moore–Penrose generalized inversion technique

This paper is intended to study output feedback-based admissibilization for singular Markovian jump time-varying delays systems via Moore–Penrose generalized inversion technique. The main aim is to design singular dynamic compensator based on output feedback control idea and Moore–Penrose generalized inversion technique, such that the time-varying delays singular Markovian jump system realizes not only stochastic stability, but also regularity, impulse-freeness (which are collectively known as stochastic admissibility) and achieves interference level. Time delay-dependent and mode-dependent L–K candidate functional is constructed, Moore–Penrose generalized inversion technique is utilized, then the improved admissibilization conditions for singular Markovian jump time-varying delays systems are provided by virtue of linear matrix inequalities. Simulation examples including a direct current motor-controlled inverted pendulum system are employed to confirm the effectiveness and practicability of the addressed singular dynamic compensation technique.
