“…In such a case, one has to design a *This work was partially supported by KAKENHI, the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C) 25420444, from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS PFC based on a nonlinear model and/or parameter varying model. For nonlinear systems, the equivalent condition of the ASPR-ness for linear system is replaced with the output feedback exponential passivity (OFEP) [9], [10], and thus if a PFC which renders the augmented system OFEP can be designed for nonlinear systems, one can easily obtain a stable adaptive output feedback control system for nonlinear systems [9], [10], [11]. Unfortunately, only a few concrete design schemes of the PFC for nonlinear systems have been proposed [7], [12].…”
