More Information
  • It is nontrivial to achieve global zero-error regulation for uncertain nonlinear systems. The underlying problem becomes even more challenging if mismatched uncertainties and unknown time-varying control gain are involved, yet certain performance specifications are also pursued. In this work, we present an adaptive control method, which, without the persistent excitation (PE) condition, is able to ensure global zero-error regulation with guaranteed output performance for parametric strict-feedback systems involving fast time-varying parameters in the feedback path and input path. The development of our control scheme benefits from generalized ${\boldsymbol{t}}$-dependent and ${\boldsymbol{x}}$-dependent functions, a novel coordinate transformation and “congelation of variables” method. Both theoretical analysis and numerical simulation verify the effectiveness and benefits of the proposed method.

  • 1 Properties 1 and 2 of $ \psi(x) $ ensure that $ \psi_x $ is positive and invertible for all $ x \in \mathbb{R} $.
    2 For simplicity, arguments of functions are sometimes omitted if no confusion occurs.
    3 Note that when $ \theta(t) $ is an unknown constant and $ b(t)=1 $, this model is a simplified version of the one studied by [37], where the exponential regulation is proposed for a class of strict-feedback systems with known control gain and unknown constants θ.4 Here $ b(t) $ and $ \theta(t) $ are fast time-varying parameters and they are only piecewise continuous yet $ b(t) $ may undergo sudden changes. Therefore, some classical adaptive schemes [15], [19] are not available because those methods require the parameters be slow time-varying (i.e., here exists a parameter ϵ such that $ |\dot{\theta}(t)|<\epsilon $ and $ |\dot b(t)|<\epsilon $).
