An algebraic version of the active disturbance rejection control for second-order flat systems.

An algebra-based active disturbance rejection control approach for uncertain second-order flat systems, perturbed by a matching perturbation, is presented. This approach consists of proposing an online algebraic estimator for the uncertain system, together with an algebraic reconstructor for the unknown velocity. To assess the efficiency of the approach, numerical simulations to control an uncertain longitudinal vehicle system were carried out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
