Globally adaptive control for stochastic nonlinear time-delay systems with perturbations and its application

Abstract

This paper addresses the globally adaptive state-feedback control problem for a more general class of stochastic nonlinear systems with an unknown time-varying delay and perturbations. Without imposing any assumptions on the time-varying delay, an adaptive state-feedback controller is skillfully designed by using adaptive backstepping control technique. Then, based on Lyapunov–Razumikhin lemma and stochastic stability theory, it is proven that the constructed controller can guarantee the closed-loop system to be globally asymptotically stable in probability. Finally, a practical example of stochastic chemical reactor system with time delay and perturbations is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
