On adaptive identification of systems having multiple nonlinearities

Abstract

Objectives. The solution to the relevant problem of identifying systems with multiple nonlinearities depends on such factors as feedback, ways of connecting nonlinear links, and signal properties. The specifics of nonlinear systems affect control systems design methods. As a rule, the basis for the development of a mathematical model involves the linearization of a system. Under conditions of uncertainty, the identification problem becomes even more relevant. Therefore, the present work sets out to develop an approach to the identification of nonlinear dynamical systems under conditions of uncertainty. In order to obtain a solution to the problem, an adaptive identification method is developed by decomposing the system into subsystems.Methods. Methods applied include the adaptive identification method, implicit identified representation, S-synchronization of a nonlinear system, and the Lyapunov vector function method.Results. A generalization of the excitation constancy condition based on fulfilling the S-synchronizability for a nonlinear system is proposed along with a method for decomposing the system in the output space. Adaptive algorithms are obtained on the basis of the second Lyapunov method. The boundedness of the adaptive system trajectories in parametric and coordinate spaces is demonstrated. Approaches for self-oscillation generation and nonlinear correction of a nonlinear system are considered along with obtained exponential stability conditions for the adaptive system.Conclusions. Simulation results confirm the possibility of applying the proposed approach to solving the problems of adaptive identification while taking the estimation of the structural identifiability (S-synchronization) of the system nonlinear part into account. The influence of the structure and relations of the system on the quality of the obtained parametric estimates is investigated. The proposed methods can be used in developing identification and control systems for complex dynamic systems.
