Fuzzy adaptive quantized output feedback tracking control for switched nonlinear systems with input quantization

Abstract

In this paper, the problem of adaptive fuzzy quantized output-feedback control is investigated for a class of uncertain switched nonlinear systems in strict feedback form. The considered switched systems contain unknown nonlinearities, hysteretic quantized input and without requiring the system states being available for measurement. Fuzzy logic systems are utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, and a switched fuzzy state observer is designed to estimate the unmeasured states. The hysteretic quantized input is implemented to avoid the oscillation caused by logarithmic quantizer and decomposed into two bounded nonlinear functions. Based on the estimated states and using the backstepping design principle, an adaptive fuzzy quantized output feedback control scheme is developed. It is proved that whole adaptive fuzzy quantized control scheme can guarantee that all the variables in the closed-loop system are bounded under a class of switching signals with average dwell time, and also that the system output can track a given reference signal as closely as possible. The simulation results are given to check the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
