Neural-network-based adaptive tracking control for nonlinear pure-feedback systems subject to periodic disturbance

This paper presents an adaptive neural control to solve the tracking problem of a class of pure-feedback systems with non-differentiable non-affine functions in the presence of unknown periodically time-varying disturbances. To handle with the design difficulty from non-affine structure of pure-feedback system, a continuous and positive...

Nonlinear Systems with Uncertain Periodically Disturbed Control Gain Functions: Adaptive Fuzzy Control with Invariance Properties

This paper proposes a novel adaptive fuzzy dynamic surface control (DSC) method for an extended class of periodically disturbed strict-feedback nonlinear systems. The peculiarity of this extended class is that the control gain functions are not bounded a priori but simply taken to be continuous and with a known sign. In contrast with existing...
