Observer-based adaptive fuzzy backstepping dynamic surface control design and stability analysis for MIMO stochastic nonlinear systems

Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy backstepping output feedback dynamic surface control (DSC) approach is developed for a class of multiinput and multioutput (MIMO) stochastic nonlinear systems with immeasurable states. Fuzzy logic systems are firstly utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, and then a fuzzy state observer is designed to estimate the immeasurable states. By combining adaptive backstepping technique and dynamic surface control (DSC) technique, an adaptive fuzzy output feedback backstepping DSC approach is developed. The proposed control method not only overcomes the problem of “explosion of complexity” inherent in the backstepping design methods, but also the problem of the immeasurable states. It is proved that all the signals of the closed-loop adaptive control stochastic system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded (SUUB) in probability, and the observer errors and the output of the system converge to a small neighborhood of the origin. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
