This study investigates the deterministic learning and control issues for uncertain sampled-data nonlinear systems (SDNSs). The problem of how to acquire/learn knowledge from adaptive control for SDNSs with uncertain affine terms is studied. To be specific, an appropriate neural network-based (NNB) control strategy is first presented to ensure tracking performance. To further realize learning, the exponential stability (ES) of the integrated closed-loop system coupled with the estimation error of the NN weights is considered. As the uncertain affine term prevents learning from occurring, the integrated system is converted into a discrete linear time-varying (DLTV) perturbed system by employing the state conversion technique. Tracking convergence allows the persistent excitation condition (PEC) of the NNs to be established, which guarantees the ES of the integrated DLTV system. Thus, accurate modeling of closed-loop sampled dynamics is obtained. By reutilizing the experiential knowledge obtained, a knowledge-based controller is constructed for high-performance control. Finally, simulations are performed to verify the presented strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
