Adaptive output feedback dynamic surface control of nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics and unknown high-frequency gain sign

In this paper, two adaptive output feedback control schemes are proposed for a class of nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics and unmeasured states as well as unknown high-frequency gain. Radial basis function (RBF) neural networks (NNs) are used to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions. K-filters are designed to estimate the unmeasured states. An available dynamic signal is introduced to dominate the unmodeled dynamics. By introducing the dynamic surface control (DSC) method, the bounded condition of the approximation error is removed, and the tracking control is achieved. Moreover, the number of adjustable parameters and the complexity of the design are both reduced. By theoretical analysis, the closed-loop system is shown to be semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB). Simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
