Iterative Learning Control for discrete nonlinear systems with randomly iteration varying lengths

Abstract This note proposes ILC for discrete-time affine nonlinear systems with randomly iteration varying lengths. No prior information on the probability distribution of random iteration length is required prior for controller design. The conventional P-type update law is used with a modified tracking error because of randomly iteration varying lengths. A novel technical lemma is proposed for the strict convergence analysis in pointwise sense. An illustrative example verifies the theoretical results.
