H/sub /spl infin//-observer-based adaptive fuzzy-neural control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems

This paper presents a method for designing an H/sub /spl infin//-observer-based adaptive fuzzy-neural output feedback control law with on-line tuning of fuzzy-neural weighting factors for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems based on the H/sub /spl infin// control technique and the strictly positive real Lyapunov (SPR-Lyapunov) design approach. The H/sub /spl infin//-observer-based output feedback control law guarantees that all signals involved are bounded and provides the modeling error (and the external bounded disturbance) attenuation with H/sub /spl infin// performance, obtained by a Riccati-Like equation. Besides, the H/sub /spl infin//-observer-based output feedback control law doesn't require the assumptions of the total system states available for measurement and the uncertain system nonlinearities only restricted to the system output. Finally, an example is simulated in order to confirm the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed methods.
