Adaptive Neural Control of SISO Time-Delay Nonlinear Systems with Unknown Hysteresis Input

In this paper, adaptive variable structure neural control is investigated for a class of SISO nonlinear systems in a Brunovsky form with state time-varying delays and unknown hysteresis input. The unknown time-varying delay uncertainties are compensated for using appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals in the design. The effect of the unknown hysteresis with the Prandtl-Ishlinskii model is mitigated using the proposed adaptive control. By utilizing the integral-type Lyapunov function, the closed-loop control system is proved to be semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
