Tuning function design for nonlinear adaptive control systems with multiple unknown control directions

Abstract To overcome the drawback of overparametrization in existing nonlinear adaptive control design with multiple unknown control directions, we propose a new algorithm which combines nonlinear integrator backstepping, tuning function design and a logic-based switching mechanism that tunes the control directions online in a switching manner. Global asymptotic tracking control is achieved for parametric-strict-feedback systems without overparametrization. The logic-based switching criterion is based on monitoring incremental errors caused during two consecutive switching moments, and thus can identify the true control direction quickly.
