“…To handle the control problem of uncertain nonlinear systems without satisfying matching conditions, in recent years, many backstepping-based adaptive fuzzy controllers have been developed for nonlinear systems in strict-feedback form (Yang et al, 2005;Wang et al, 2007;Zou et al, 2008;Chen et al, 2005;Tong et al, 2010a;2010b). Among them, are those for singleinput and single-output (SISO) nonlinear systems (Yang et al, 2005;Wang et al, 2007;Zou et al, 2008;Tong et al, 2010a;2010b), those for multiple-input and multipleoutput (MIMO) nonlinear systems (Chen et al, 2005;, and the ones for SISO nonlinear systems with dynamics and dynamical disturbances (Tong et al, 2010a;2010b).…”
