Adaptive Control for Time-varying Nonlinear System

An adaptive control scheme is proposed for a kind of time-varying nonlinear systems. In the scheme the nonlinear systems are divided into a finite number of subsystems, which are in strict feedback and interpolated by functions of an exogenous scheduling variable. The adaptive method yields stability of all signals in the closed-loop. The results of simulation show that the controller converges very fast and the scheme is suitable for the time-varying nonlinear plant.
