The adaptive fuzzy backstepping control problem is studied for Itô-type nonlinear switched systems subject to unknown hysteresis input. Compared with existing works, the unknown hysteresis and stochastic disturbances are considered in the pure-feedback switched systems. The mean value theorem tackles the non-affine functions. The backstepping technique introduces an auxiliary virtual controller. In addition, the Nussbaum function is employed to solve the difficulty caused by the unknown hysteresis under arbitrary switching. Based on a fuzzy logic system and backstepping technique, a new adaptive control proposal is obtained, which ensures that the system states satisfy semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB) in probability and that the tracking error converges to a region of the origin. Finally, we provide two examples to show the validity of the presented scheme.

To handle the tracking control problem of the magnetic wheeled mobile robot (MWMR), this paper developed an online robust tracking control scheme by adaptive dynamic programming (ADP). The problem, that how to achieve optimal tracking control of continuous-time (CT) MWMR system with the time-varying unknown uncertainty, can be solved indirectly through matching the optimal tracking control of the associated nominal system . A single critic NN-based actor-critic structure is tailored for simpler controller architecture. By minimizing the Bellman error with gradient descending and least-squares updating laws, the critic NN weights can be optimized online. Thus the optimal cost function and the optimal control signal can be approximated with high precision. Using the Lyapunov stability theorem, the convergence of the critic NN weights, and the stability of the closed-loop system is provided. Simulations, in comparison with robust PD control and adaptive control, are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed tracking control method for the MWMR.
... Switched systems consist of a family of subsystems and a switching rule that orchestrates the switching among them; a large number of practical systems belong to this category due to changing environmental factors and various jumping parameters [1,2], such as circuit and power systems [3], hypersonic flight vehicles [4], and chemical processes [5]. Since their vital engineering applications and the development of intelligent control theories, for instance, neural networks (NNs) and fuzzy logical systems (FLSs), significant results have been obtained for nonlinear switched systems in the literature [1,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Specifically, the back-stepping technology was employed to develop controllers for nonlinear switched systems with NNs [1,4,8,10,15] or FLSs [7][8][9][11][12][13] being introduced to approximate the unknown nonlinearities. ...

In this study, an adaptive anti-disturbance control scheme is investigated for a class of unknown pure feedback switched nonlinear systems subjected to immeasurable states and external disturbances. Radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) are employed to identify the switched unknown nonlinearities, and a Butterworth low-pass filter is adopted to remove the algebraic loop problem. Subsequently, a novel switched neural state observer and a novel switched disturbance are presented via the coupled design method to estimate the immeasurable states and compounded disturbances. Then, an improved adaptive control strategy for the studied problem is designed with the help of a filtering method to eliminate the “explosion of complexity” problem, and certain compensating signals are set up to compensate for the filter errors, where switched updated laws are constructed to lessen the conservativeness caused by adoption of a common updated law for all subsystems. By utilizing the Lyapunov stability theorem, the developed control scheme can guarantee that all signals in the closed-loop system are bounded under a class of switching signals with the average dwell time (ADT), while the tracking error can converge to a small neighbourhood of origin. Finally, simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented approach.

This paper addresses the adaptive neural fault-tolerant control (FTC) problem for a class of stochastic switched nonstrict-feedback nonlinear systems, which have actuator faults that incorporate loss of effectiveness, stuck and outage. Based on the character of Gaussian function, the problem of nonstrict-feedback form is solved well. In the process of designing the controller, neural networks (NNs) are utilized to estimate the unknown functions. The problem of actuator faults is handled by designing the FTC method who is obtained by introducing a smooth function and backstepping technique. Then, the control effect satisfies all the signals in the resulting closed-loop system are bounded and the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood around the origin. To illustrate the high efficiency of the proposed control method, a vivid simulation example is given in the end.
... On the other hand, stochastic disturbances often exist in practical systems, which may lead to severe performance deterioration or even instability of closed-loop systems [22]- [24]. Many significant control strategies have been proposed for stochastic nonlinear systems [25]- [34]. ...

This paper studies the problem of adaptive fault estimation and accommodation for a class of stochastic nonlinear systems with unknown time-varying faults. Different from existing fault estimation methods, a novel adaptive prescribed performance fault estimator (APPFE) is designed which guarantees that the fault estimation error is confined within a pre-set region, and better estimation accuracy is obtained. The designed faulttolerant tracking controller is capable of attenuating the effect of faults through using back-stepping techniques. Furthermore, the proposed method guarantees that all the error signals of closedloop system be bounded in probability, the fault estimation error and output tracking error both converge to desired neighborhoods of origin in the sense of quadratic mean value. Finally, simulation results are provided to verify the method proposed in this paper.

This paper investigates the problem of adaptive neural output feedback control for a class of switched non-linear systems, and the unknown backlash-like hysteresis of the actuator is also taken into consideration. First, neural networks are used to approximate the uncertain functions in the studied system. Second, a state-observer is proposed to estimate the system states. Finally, an adaptive neural output feedback control algorithm based on a backstepping technique is constructed; in addition, dynamic surface control is applied to eliminate the explosion in complexity caused by the backstepping technique. By using Lyapunov stability theory, it is proved that all the signals of the switched system are bounded under the proposed control scheme. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is further confirmed by simulation experiments.
... For the first family, two approximating tools are widely used to approximate the uncertain nonlinear systems via adaptive laws, which are fuzzy membership functions (Zhao, Zheng, Niu, & Liu, 2015;Niu, Karimi, Wang, & Liu, 2016;Long & Zhao, 2016;Y. Li, Sui, & Tong, 2017), and neural networks (Han, Ge, & Lee, 2009;Jiang, Shen, & Shi, 2015;Zhao, Shi, Zheng, & Zhang, 2015;Niu, Qin, & Fan, 2016). However, at least one of the following problems typically arises for control designs in this family: the performance cannot be prescribed a priori, being dependent on the actual parameters which are unknown Niu, Karimi, et al., 2016;Long & Zhao, 2016;Y. ...

In this paper, adaptive tracking control of switched nonlinear systems in the parametric strict-feedback form is investigated. After defining a reparametrization lemma in the presence of a non-zero reference signal, we propose a new adaptive backstepping design of the virtual controllers that can handle the extra terms arising from the reparametrization (and that the state-of-the-art backstepping designs cannot dominate). The proposed adaptive design guarantees, under arbitrarily fast switching, an a priori bound for the steady-state performance of the tracking error and a tunable bound for the transient error. Finally, the proposed method, by overcoming the need for subsystems with common sign of the input vector field, enlarges the class of uncertain switched nonlinear systems for which the adaptive tracking problem can be solved. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the proposed control scheme.

In this paper, adaptive neural control (ANC) is investigated for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear stochastic systems with unknown parameters, unknown nonlinear functions and stochastic disturbances. The new controller of adaptive neural network with state feedback is presented by using a universal approximation of radial basis function neural network and backstepping. An adaptive neural network state-feedback controller is designed by constructing a suitable Lyapunov function. Adaptive bounding design technique is used to deal with the unknown nonlinear functions and unknown parameters. It is shown that, the global asymptotically stable in probability can be achieved for the closed-loop system. The simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy in the presence of unknown parameters, unknown nonlinear functions and stochastic disturbances.

... On the other hand, it has been found that the Grünwald-Letnikov, Hadamard, Weyl, Riesz, Riemann-Liouville, and Caputo's definitions are the most popular definitions for fractional-order integrals and derivatives [59,[63][64][65][66][69][70][71][72][73]76,[94][95][96][97][98][99]. As stated in 76,77,81,82,[87][88][89][90][91][92][93], the most classical stability tools of integer order systems cannot be extended or applied directly to that of the fractional-order differential systems. Recently, stability conditions for a class of fractional-order nonlinear systems has been developed based on Mittag-Leffler function, Laplace transform, Caputo derivatives and the generalized Gronwall inequality [8,[63][64][65]88]. ...

This research is concerned with the problem of generalized function projective synchronization of nonlinear uncertain time-delay incommensurate fractional-order chaotic systems with input nonlinearities. The considered problem is challenging owing to the presence of unmeasured master-slave system states, external dynamical disturbances, unknown nonlinear system functions, unknown time-varying delays, quantized outputs, unknown control direction, unknown actuator nonlinearities (backlash-like hysteresis, dead-zone and asymmetric saturation actuators) and distinct fractional-orders. Under some mild assumptions and using Caputo's definitions for fractional-order integrals and derivatives, the design procedure of the proposed neural adaptive controller consists of a number of steps to solve the generalized function projective synchronization problem. First, smooth functions and the mean value theorem are utilized to overcome the difficulties from actuator nonlinearities and distributed time-varying delays, respectively. Then, a simple linear observer is established to estimate the unknown synchronization error variables. In addition, a Nussbaum function is incorporated to cope with the unknown control direction and a neural network is adopted to tackle the unknown nonlinear functions. The combination of the frequency distributed model, the Razumikhin Lemma, the neural network parameterization, the Lyapunov method and the Barbalat's lemma is employed to perform the stability proof of the closed-loop system and to derive the adaption laws. The major advantages of this research are that: (1) the Strictly Positive Real (SPR) condition on the estimation error dynamics is not required, (2) the considered class of master-slave systems is relatively large, (3) all signals in the resulting closed-loop systems are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded and the synchronization errors semi-globally converge to zero. Finally, numerical examples are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed synchronization scheme.

In this study, a neural network (NN) composite adaptive antidisturbance control scheme is investigated for a class of unknown pure-feedback switched nonlinear systems. First, radial basis function NNs are employed to identify unknown nonlinearities by employing a Butterworth low-pass filter to eliminate the algebraic loop problem. Subsequently, an NN composite switched state observer and an NN composite switched disturbance observer are presented by coupled design to estimate immeasurable states and compounded disturbances. Next, an improved composite control strategy is developed for the investigated problem with the help of a filtering method to avoid the “explosion of complexity” problem, and compensating signals are set up to alleviate the filter errors. By utilizing the Lyapunov stability theorem, the proposed control scheme can guarantee that all signals in the closed-loop system are bounded under a class of switching signals with the average dwell time, while the tracking error can converge to within a small neighbourhood of the origin. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented approach.
