Robust output feedback control for fractional order nonlinear systems with time-varying delays

Abstract

Robust controller design problem is investigated for a class of fractional order nonlinear systems with time varying delays. Firstly, a reduced-order observer is designed. Then, an output feedback controller is designed. Both the designed observer and controller are independent of time delays. By choosing appropriate Lyapunov functions, we prove the designed controller can render the fractional order system asymptotically stable. A simulation example is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
