An Adaptive Variable Structure Control for a Class of Nonlinear Time-Varying Systems

Motivated by the recent advance in adaptive output feedback control of affine nonlinear systems [8-10], an adaptive variable structure controller is proposed in this paper for solving the model reference adaptive control of nonlinear time-varying systems. Asymptotic output tracking performance can be achieved for relative degree one case. When the relative degree of the nonlinear system is greater than one, a systematic design procedure is given under a modified sector-type condition so that the closed-loop stability and the tracking performance are achieved similar to that in relative degree one case.
