Adaptive Regulation of a Class of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems with Nonstrict Feedback Form

This paper focuses on the semiglobal stabilization for a class of nonlinear systems with nonstrict feedback form. Based on a generalized scaling technique, an adaptive control algorithm with dynamic high gain is developed for a class of nonstrict feedback nonlinear systems. It can be proved that, under some appropriate design parameters, all signals of the resulting closed-loop system are bounded semiglobally, and the system state will be convergent to origin exponentially. Finally, a numerical simulation is provided to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Semiglobal Stabilization via Output-Feedback for a Class of Nontriangular Nonlinear Systems with an Unknown Coefficient

This paper is devoted to the semiglobal stabilization via output-feedback for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems. Remark that the systems in question contain an unknown control coefficient which inherently depends on the system output and allow larger-than-two order growing unmeasurable states which is the obstruction of global stabilization via output-feedback. By introducing a recursive reduced-order observer and combining with saturated state estimate, a desired output-feedback controller is explicitly constructed for the systems. Under the appropriate choice of design parameters, the controller can make the closed-loop system semiglobally attractive and locally exponentially stable at the origin. A simulation example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
