Fuzzy neural control of uncertain chaotic systems with backlash nonlinearity

In this paper, a class of uncertain chaotic systems preceded by unknown backlash nonlinearity is investigated. Combining backstepping technique with fuzzy neural network identifying, an adaptive backstepping fuzzy neural controller (ABFNC) for uncertain chaotic systems with unknown backlash is proposed. The proposed ABFNC system is comprised of a fuzzy neural network identifier (FNNI) and a robust controller. The FNNI is the principal controller utilized for online estimation of the unknown nonlinear function. The robust controller is used to attenuate the effects of the approximation error so that the stability and control performance of the closed-loop adaptive system is achieved always. Finally, simulation results show that the ABFNC can achieve favorable tracking performances.
