Observer-based adaptive fuzzy output feedback control for functional constraint systems with dead-zone input

Abstract

<abstract><p>This paper develops an adaptive output feedback control for a class of functional constraint systems with unmeasurable states and unknown dead zone input. The constraint is a series of functions closely linked to state variables and time, which is not achieved in current research results and is more general in practical systems. Furthermore, a fuzzy approximator based adaptive backstepping algorithm is designed and an adaptive state observer with time-varying functional constraints (TFC) is constructed to estimate the unmeasurable states of the control system. Relying on the relevant knowledge of dead zone slopes, the issue of non-smooth dead-zone input is successfully solved. The time-varying integral barrier Lyapunov functions (iBLFs) are employed to guarantee that the states of the system remain within the constraint interval. By Lyapunov stability theory, the adopted control approach can ensure the stability of the system. Finally, the feasibility of the considered method is conformed via a simulation experiment.</p></abstract>
