Robust control design of a class of nonlinear systems in polynomial lower-triangular form

摘要

This paper investigates the problem of global robust stabilization for a wide class of nonlinear systems, called polynomial lower-triangular form (pLTF), which expands LTF to a more general case. The aim is explicitly constructing the smooth controller for the class of systems with static uncertainties, by adding and modifying a power integrator in a recursive manner. The pLTF relaxes the restrictions on the structure of the normal LTF and enlarges the family of systems that are stabilizable. Examples are also provided to show the practical usage of this class of systems and the effectiveness of the design method.
