Abstract:
In this paper, two semi-global adaptive control schemes are proposed for a class of parametric strict-feedback systems with non-triangular structural uncertainties. Unknown nonlinear functions containing non-triangular structural uncertainties and unknown parameters are allowed to exist in every state equation. Because the linear relation between the state vector and its transformed vector cannot be ensured, the improved backstepping method used to deal with non-triangular structural uncertainties cannot be used directly in controller design. To solve this problem, semi-global stability analysis is introduced in the controller design. As a result, the linear relation mentioned above is no longer needed and thus the stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed. The effectiveness of the proposed schemes is verified by simulation studies.

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...
