STABILITY ANALYSIS OF DECENTRALIZED ADAPTIVE BACKSTEPPING CONTROL SYSTEMS WITH ACTUATOR FAILURES

摘要

In this paper, the authors analyze the stability of a class of interconnected systems with subsystem unmodeled dynamics and dynamic interactions employing decentralized adaptive controllers designed by Wen, Zhou, and Wang (2008) in the presence of actuator failures. It will be shown that the global stability of the remaining closed-loop system is still ensured and the outputs are also regulated to zero when some subsystems break down.
