Exponential stability analysis and control design for nonlinear system with time-varying delay

Abstract

This paper investigates the problem of exponential stability analysis and control design for time delay nonlinear systems with unknown control coefficient. Nussbaum gain function is utilized to solve the problem of unknown control directions at every step. By designing a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, the problem of unknown time-varying delay is solved. Under the frame of adaptive backstepping recursive design, an exponential stabilization control algorithm is developed, which demonstrates that all solutions of controlled system are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB) and exponential converge to zero. Finally, simulation results are displayed to explain the superiority and effectiveness of the developed control method.
