“…The subject of designing model reference control systems has been studied by many researchers in recent years that mainly aim to regulate the output of the system to a desired output of the reference model. Various types of systems have been studied for the model reference control, such as multivariable linear systems (De La Torre et al, 2016;Duan et al (2001), second-order linear system (Duan and Huang, 2008;Tian and Duan, 2020), constrained linear systems (Di Cairano and Borrelli, 2016), multi-agent systems (Liu and Jia, 2012), networked control systems (Sakthivel et al, 2017), switched linear parameter varying systems with parametric uncertainties (Abdullah, 2018), piecewise affine systems with input disturbances (Di Bernardo et al, 2016), markov jump systems (Boukas, 2009), uncertain dynamical systems with performance guarantees (Arabi et al, 2019) and linear timevarying systems (Liu et al, 2020). In the meantime, effective results were successfully achieved in practical application by utilizing model reference control technology, especially in the active damping of driveline vibration in power-split hybrid vehicles (Liu et al, 2019), training recurrent neural networks (Jafari and Hagan, 2018), precise speed tracking of industrial robot (Xie et al, 2019) and so forth.…”
