Global robust stabilization of feedforward systems with uncertainties

Abstract

This paper studies the global robust stabilization problem for a class of feedforward systems that is subject to both dynamic and time-varying static uncertainties. A small gain theorem-based bottom-up recursive design is developed for constructing a nested saturation control law. At each recursion, two versions of small gain theorem with restrictions are employed to establish the global attractiveness and local stability of the closed-loop system at the equilibrium point, respectively.
