Adaptive Robust Control for a Class of Stochastic Nonlinear Uncertain Systems

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the control design for a class of stochastic nonlinear systems. Three uncertainties are considered; that is, nonlinear parameter uncertainty, matched uncertainty and stochastic disturbance. The nonlinear uncertainty contains some uncertain parameter and satisfies bound condition. Neither the exact value of the matched uncertainty nor its possible bound is known; its upper bound function satisfies certain concave condition. The stochastic disturbance is a standard Wiener process. Based on stochastic Lyapunov stability theory, the adaptive robust controller is designed, which renders the state variables of the closed-loop system bounded in probability, regardless of all uncertainties. The desired controller is constructed by the upper bound function and the saturation function, in which the upper bound function represents the magnitude of the control, while the saturation function indicates the control direction. The design of the adaptive robust controller is based on the minimum information of uncertainty, which is simple and can be easily realized in practical systems. Finally, a two-tank water level control example is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of our control design.

Switching threshold‐based event‐triggered adaptive asymptotic tracking control for stochastic nonlinear systems with full‐state constraints

“…It is widely known that stochastic disturbances are important factor affecting system instability. Therefore, the research of stochastic nonlinear systems has become a hot topic in recent years, and many effective methods have been reported, such as adaptive backstepping control, 1,2 robust control, 3 fault-tolerant control, 4 and sliding mode control. 5 However, it is very difficult to achieve the tracking control purpose only by relying on the above methods when the nonlinear structure in the systems has strong nonlinearity and uncertainty.…”

Designing Robust Control for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor: Fuzzy Based and Multivariable Optimization Approach

“…The probability theory is adopted to describe the bound of the uncertain parameter by the frequency of occurrence to construct the distribution function. The merge between the probability theory and system theory, i.e., the stochastic dynamical system [14], [15], has also aroused tremendous attention and has been employed in control system design, such as the quadratic optimal control [16], [17] and sequential randomized control [18], [19]. However, despite a variety of achievements of the stochastic approach, criticisms for it still exist.…”
