Output feedback control for a class of high-order nonholonomic systems with complicated nonlinearity and time-varying delay

This paper considers the output feedback control problem for high-order nonholonomic time-delay system. Remarkably, the studied system allows the polynomial time-delay growing conditions. Moreover, the applicable power ranges of nonlinear drift and diffusion terms are further relaxed to be a interval rather than a fix point. By choosing a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii (L-K) functional, and by modifying the adding a power integrator method, a delay-independent output feedback controller is designed such that the system is globally asymptotically stable. A simulation example is given to show the validity of the proposed theory.
