Continuous Stabilization Controller for Nonlinear Systems With Two Piecewise Controllers and Its Application to
Abstract:
It is well-known that the stabilizing control of nonholonomic systems is usually divided into two independent steps. This incurs a discontinuous switching control problem when system states start from certain regions. In light of this, we study the continuous and smooth stabilization control issues for nonlinear systems with two piecewise continuous or even smooth stabilization controllers. First, the sufficient conditions for the existence of these controllers are provided. Then, we use the controller extension method to construct some intermediate auxiliary controllers that can link the piecewise controllers given in advance continuously or even smoothly. In addition, by combining model transformation, including the cascade and fully actuated ones, with the extended state observer, we successfully employ the proposed controller extension method to solve the stabilization control of an underactuated surface ship subject to external disturbance.

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...
