Limits of performance in reference-tracking and path-following for nonlinear systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate limits of performance in reference-tracking and path-following and highlight an essential difference between them, showing that the smallest achievable L 2 norm of the tracking error is equal to the least amount of control energy needed to stabilize the zero-dynamics of the error system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control Theory in the 80s: Trends in Feedback Design

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors briefly discuss four recent approaches: linear robust multivariable control, adaptive control, nonlinear composite control, and external linearization design, and discuss the richness of content and diversity of style of the feedback renaissance of the 80's.
Journal ArticleDOI

Error bounds for model-plant mismatch in identifiers and adaptive observers

TL;DR: The stability properties of six different adaptive schemes with respect to model error are analyzed and bounds obtained indicate possibilities for reducing the error by a proper choice of the input signal.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Adaptive tracking for a class of feedback linearizable systems

TL;DR: A state feedback control is presented which achieves asymptotic tracking of signals generated by a known exosystem for single-input single-output nonlinear systems with unknown parameters entering linearly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tracking Controllers for Systems Linear in the Unmeasured States

TL;DR: In this article, the authors construct dynamic partial state feedback controllers that achieve the global asymptotic tracking of given reference trajectories while maintaining internal boundedness for nonlinear systems in extended strict feedback form.
