Output feedback stabilisation of stochastic nonlinear time-delay systems with unknown output function.

This paper studies the problem of output feedback stabilisation for a class of stochastic nonlinear time-delay systems with the unknown output function. For stochastic nonlinear time-delay systems, the maximal open sector Δ of output function is given. As long as output function belongs to any closed sector included in Δ, by constructing a reduced-order observer and C² Lyapunov- Krasovskii functional and using the homogeneous domination method, an output feedback controller can be developed to guarantee the closed-loop system globally asymptotically stable in probability.
