A dissipative-based adaptive neural control scheme was developed for a chss of nonlinear uncertain systems with unknown nonlinearities that nfight not be linearly parameterized. The major advantage of the present work was to relax the requirement of matching condition, i.e., the unknown nonlinearities appear on the same equation as the control input in a state-space representation, which was required in most of the available neural network controllers. By synthesizing a state-feedback neural controller to make the closed-loop system dissipative with respect to a quadratic supply rate, the developed control scheme guarantees that the De-gain of controlled system was less than or equal to a prescribed level. And then, it is shown that the output tracking error is unifomfly ultimate bounded. The design scheme is illustrated using a numerical simulation.
