Abstract— A fundamental problem for control engineers is that of output tracking. The earlier approaches are restricted to certain classes of systems precluding the presence of zeros from certain regions in the complex plane, and do not reasonably take into account process and measurement noise. A technique to achieve output tracking applicable to non-minimum phase linear systems is presented w...

This paper is concerned with the quadratic stabilization for a class of switched nonlinear singular systems. For this class of switched systems, when each individual subsystem fails to be minimum-phase, the quadratic stabilization problem is solved via designing switching law. This extends available results for non-switched nonlinear singular systems.

The problem of global robust stabilization is investigated for a class of multi-input, minimum-phase nonlinear systems with unknown time-varying parameters or disturbances belonging to a given compact set. It is assumed that the systems admit a special structure, which is much more general than strict feedback form. It is shown that such a structure makes it possible to construct both Lyapunov ...

This paper, presents a robust adaptive control method for a class of non-linear non-minimum phase systems with uncertainties. The development of the control method comprises of two steps. First, stabilization of the system is considered based on the availability of the output and internal dynamics of the system. The reference signal is designed to stabilize the internal dynamics with respect to...

In this work we consider the problem of output regulation for linear single input-single output systems in presence of time-varying measurement constraint. It is shown how an internal model-based regulator, processing a saturated uncertain function of the regulated error, can be designed in order to secure asymptotic tracking/rejection of exosystemgenerated references/disturbances. The design i...

In this paper a data-driven methodology based on the Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning is presented for the tuning of Internal Model Controllers. A data based test is presented to check the robust stability of the controller in the loop, taking advantage of the control structure. Two different examples are shown where the presented method successfully controls a non-minimum phase discrete time ...

We propose a solution to the problem of semiglobal output regulation for nonlinear minimum-phase systems driven by uncertain exosystems that does not rely upon conventional adaptation schemes to estimate the frequency of the exogenous signals. Rather, the proposed approach relies upon regressionlike arguments used to derive a nonlinear internal model able to offset the presence of an unknown nu...

Abstract: In this paper a general ILC algorithm is examined and it is found that the filters involved can be selected to satisfy frequency-wise uncertainty limits on the plant model. The probability of the plant model being at a given point in the uncertainty space is specified, and the filters are then chosen to maximise the convergence rate that can be expected in practice. The magnitude of t...

In this paper, some results of feedback stabilization on compacta for a nonlinear control system are obtained by using an invariant manifold approach. In particular, a class of globally nonminimum phase systems are treated. Issues such as high gain feedback stabilization on compacta vs. peaking phenomenon, and globally exponentially minimum phase vs. globally asymptotically (critically) minimum...

in this paper a new method is introduced and investigated for removing the destabilizing effects of time-delay parameter in control loops. the concept of the method is taken from the knowledge concerning the dynamic behaviour of irrational transfer functions (ir-tf), which is discussed and investigated elswhere in frequency response domain and is explained briefly here. ir-tfs, which are well c...
