Adaptive practical tracking control by output feedback for a class of nonlinear systems

This paper investigates the problem of adaptive practical tracking control by output feedback for a class of nonlinear systems in which the nonlinearities are restricted to be upper bounded by a constant plus a polynomial function of the output multiplied by unmeasured states. To solve the problem, an observer with a dynamic high-gain is first introduced, and then an adaptive output feedback tracking controller is successfully designed using the universal control methodology. It is shown that all the states of the closed-loop system are bounded, and the tracking error can be made arbitrarily small by an appropriate choice of the design parameters after some large enough time. A simulation example is also provided to illustrate the correctness of the theoretical results.
