An adaptive fuzzy decentralized control algorithm is developed in this article for interconnected nonlinear large-scale systems with unmodeled dynamics. This method is proposed by applying a fuzzy logic system (FLS) to identify unknown nonlinear functions. In addition, dynamic signals are introduced in design process of the backstepping to compensate the effect of unmodeled dynamics. A novel adaptive state feedback control algorithm is proposed with the help of Lyapunov function. Then, the state feedback control algorithm is extended to the case of output feedback by constructing a fuzzy state observer with FLSs. The large-scale and closed-loop nonlinear system is ensured to be semi-global uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB). Apart from this, all signals are guaranteed to be bounded. Both numerical and practical simulation examples are utilized to elaborate the feasibility of the developed control algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article proposes an adaptive dynamic surface fuzzy control method for a class of nonstrict feedback systems. The systems are subject to state constraints with unknown control directions, time-delay, and external disturbances. The problem of unknown control direction is solved by using the Nussbaum gain technique, and the effect of unknown delay which is time varying is eliminated by introducing compounding type Lyapunov function. Furthermore, based on the fuzzy backstepping method, an adaptive tracking controller is constructed which guarantees that the constrained states are not violated while all the closed-loop trajectory signals remain bounded. The effectiveness of the obtained results is illustrated via simulations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, an observer-based fuzzy adaptive controller for a class of uncertain nonstrict nonlinear systems with unknown control direction and unknown dead-zone is presented. First, by using equivalence dead-zone inverse and a linear state transformation, the original system is converted to a new one. Then, by using fuzzy logic systems, the unknown nonlinearities are approximated based on an adaptive mechanism, and a nonlinear fuzzy state observer is designed to estimate immeasurable states. The dynamic surface control technique is employed to solve the problem of explosion of complexity in the traditional backstepping approach, and then, this method is combined with Nussbaum gain function to address the problem of unknown control direction. Besides, barrier Lyapunov function is employed to overcome the violation of system output. The proposed controller guarantees that the closed-loop system is stable; all the system states are bounded, and tracking errors converge to a neighborhood of the origin. A numerical simulation is provided to confirm the usefulness of the proposed control design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
