Global asymptotic stabilization of feedforward nonlinear systems with a delay in the input

In this paper, by constructing appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals (LKF) and applying the model transformation of time-delay systems, a design scheme of state feedback controller for a class of feedforward nonlinear systems with a delay in the input is proposed. The designed controllers have a very simple structure and do not involve any saturation or recursive computation, which is widely applied in designing a controller of feedforward nonlinear systems. Using the transformation of coordinates and the property of Hurwitz polynomial, the problem of designing controller can be converted into the problem of finding a parameter, which can be solved by solving the optimization problem with linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) constraints. A simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed design procedure.
