Global exponential stabilization for a class of nonlinear systems by output feedback control with three gain‐scaling factors

Summary In this article, we consider a problem of global exponential stabilization for a class of nonlinear systems with the perturbed nonlinearity by output feedback. We provide a newly designed observer‐based output feedback controller with three gain‐scaling factors to deal with extended structure of nonlinearity and larger growth rate of nonlinearity over the existing results. Utilizing three gain‐scaling factors, we have more flexibility in selecting control parameters. Moreover, we present two procedures for selecting gain‐scaling parameters which are associated with stabilizing the system and improving the convergence rate of the system states and observer errors, respectively. Via numerical and practical examples, we illustrate the improved features of the proposed control scheme over the existing schemes.
