Adaptive Output Feedback Control Design with Adaptive Parallel Feedforward Compensator and Feedforward Input via Kernel Method for Nonlinear System

It is well recognized that an adaptive output feedback control based on almost strictly positive real‐ness (ASPR) or output feedback strictly passivity (OFSP) property of the system has strong robustness with respect to disturbances and uncertainty. However, most practical systems do not have such properties. In order to realize an augmented ASPR system for designing adaptive output feedback controller, a kind of adaptive parallel feedforward compensator (PFC) design schemes have been proposed for linear systems. In this paper, we propose an adaptive PFC design scheme by Kernel method for nonlinear systems and provide output feedback passivity based adaptive output feedback control for nonlinear systems. The effectiveness of the proposed method will be confirmed through numerical simulations. © 2021 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by Wiley Periodicals LLC.
