Adaptive output feedback tracking control for a class of uncertain switched nonlinear systems under arbitrary switching

摘要

This paper investigates the problem of adaptive output feedback tracking for uncertain switched nonlinear systems, under arbitrary switching. First, an adaptive output feedback controller is designed, which ensures the boundedness of all the closed-loop signals. Then, a novel adaptive-based robust output feedback control is proposed to drive the tracking error to zero, in which the bound of disturbances is not required to be known in advance. Both control algorithms are based on the common Lyapunov function method, without any restrictions on dwell time. To evaluate the performance of the proposed output feedback control schemes, a numerical example is presented and discussed.
