Nonlinear maneuvering with gradient optimization

TL;DR: The proposed dynamic controller consists of a stabilization algorithm that drives the state x(t) to the point /spl xi/(/spl theta/(t)), and a smooth dynamic optimization algorithm that selects the point xi in the set /spl Xi/ that minimizes the weighted distance between x and /splxi/.
Journal ArticleDOI

Singular perturbation method for near optimum design of high-order non-linear systems

TL;DR: A low-order near optimum design for high-order systems is developed under which the optimal control is continuous and differentiable with respect to perturbations which change the order of the system.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

TORA example: cascade and passivity control designs

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of feedback stabilization of translational oscillations by a rotational actuator (TORA) system is considered and several controller designs based on the cascade and passivity paradigms are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global Adaptive Stabilization of Cascade Nonlinear Systems

TL;DR: In this paper, an adaptive controller is developed for a class of nonlinear systems for which other approaches (e.g. backstepping) may fail to be applicable, employing feedback passivation and an explicit construction of a Lyapunov function for the zero dynamics with respect to a relative degree 1 output.
Journal ArticleDOI

Passivity and Parametric Robustness of a New Class of Adaptive Systems

TL;DR: In this article, a recursive design of adaptive controllers for linear systems is presented from a passivity perspective, where the adaptation loop for a minimum phase plant with known but arbitrary relative degree possesses a strict passivity property.
