Iterative Learning Control for discrete nonlinear systems with randomly iteration varying lengths

This note proposes ILC for discrete-time affine nonlinear systemswith randomly iteration varying lengths. No prior information on the probability distribution of random iteration length is required prior for controller design. The conventional P-type update law is used with a modified tracking error because of randomly iteration varying lengths. A novel technical lemma is proposed for the strict convergence analysis in pointwise sense. An illustrative example verifies the theoretical results. © 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
