Time-delay Positive Feedback Control for Nonlinear Time-delay Systems with Neural Network Compensation

Abstract A new adaptive time-delay positive feedback controller (ATPFC) is presented for a class of nonlinear time-delay systems. The proposed control scheme consists of a neural networks-based identification and a time-delay positive feedback controller. Two high-order neural networks (HONN) incorporated with a special dynamic identification model are employed to identify the nonlinear system. Based on the identified model, local linearization compensation is used to deal with the unknown nonlinearity of the system. A time-delay-free inverse model of the linearized system and a desired reference model are utilized to constitute the feedback controller, which can lead the system output to track the trajectory of a reference model. Rigorous stability analysis for both the identification and the tracking error of the closed-loop control system is provided by means of Lyapunov stability criterion. Simulation results are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
