Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of generating, by state feedback, stable oscillations in high order nonlinear systems. The desired oscillations are robust in the presence of disturbances, such as unmodelled dynamics and bounded noise signals, which result in bounded deviations from the nominal target orbit. The method consists of two steps. First, a globally attractive oscillation is generated in a nominal second‐order subsystem. Based on a partition of the state space and solving the Lyapunov equation on each part, a strict Lyapunov function is obtained that ensures exponential convergence, even in the presence of disturbances, to a ring‐shaped region containing the target limit cycle. Then, the oscillation stabilizing controller and the strict Lyapunov function are extended to arbitrary order systems, via backstepping. Notwithstanding backstepping is intended for cascade systems, the acquired ability to deal with unmodelled dynamics permits the analytical treatment of non‐triangular structures, as is illustrated with the Ball and Beam example.

A new robust state-feedback controller is designed to solve the tracking problem of a class of nonlinear uncertain systems. The contributions of our paper are threefold: Firstly, a new robust state-feedback controller with a simple structure is derived. Owing to its simplicity, less computation is n

This paper considers the problem of robust disturbance attenuation for a class of systems with both Lipschitz bounded and nonlinear uncertainties. The nonlinear uncertainty is assumed to satisfy a 'matching condition' and bounded by a known nonlinear function. The Lipschitz bounded one could be with
