Abstract

This paper addresses the challenging problem of output feedback stabilization for nonlinear nonminimum phase (NMP) systems in the presence of parametric uncertainties and external disturbances. The proposed framework integrates three distinct observers: a reduced-order observer for reconstructing the unmeasured states of the internal (zero) dynamics, a high-gain observer for estimating output derivatives, and an observer for estimating the aggregated effect of parametric uncertainties and disturbances. Leveraging these estimates, a sliding mode control law is synthesized to ensure global asymptotic stability of the entire system using only output measurements. The control design requires only partial model knowledge, significantly relaxing the restrictive assumptions common in existing literature. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed output-feedback strategy and corroborate the theoretical developments.

Observer-based practical stabilization of fractional-order systems via linear matrix inequalities

This paper investigates the problem of observer-based stabilization for a class of nonlinear fractional-order systems affected by bounded disturbances. The considered nonlinearities satisfy the quasi-one-sided Lipschitz condition, which generalizes the classical one-sided Lipschitz property and allows treating a broade...

Nonadaptive Learning in Robust Nonlinear Output Regulation

A nonadaptive design that combines an input-driven filter and a generic internal model with a recursive backstepping law is developed, thereby recasting the regulation problem as the robust input-to-state stabilization of an augmented error system.

Output Feedback Adaptive Performance Control

In this paper, we consider uncertain high-order nonlinear systems performing dynamic tracking tasks under hard actuator constraints, where only the output error is available for measurement, while the system states and the desired trajectory derivatives are unavailable for feedback. We propose a robust output-feedback...
