Adaptive Neural Network Learning Controller Design for a Class of Nonlinear Systems With Time-Varying State
Abstract:
This paper studies an adaptive neural network (NN) tracking control method for a class of uncertain nonlinear strict-feedback systems with time-varying full-state constraints. As we all know, the states are inevitably constrained in the actual systems because of the safety and performance factors. The main contributions of this paper are that: 1) in order to ensure that the states do not violate the asymmetric time-varying constraint regions, an adaptive NN controller is constructed by introducing the asymmetric time-varying barrier Lyapunov function (TVBLF) and 2) the amount of the learning parameters is reduced by introducing a TVBLF at each step of the backstepping. Based on the Lyapunov stability analysis, it can be proven that all the signals in the closed-loop system are the semiglobal ultimately uniformly bounded and the time-varying full-state constraints are never violated. Finally, a numerical simulation is given, and the effectiveness of this adaptive control method can be verified.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
