This paper dedicates to dealing with the adaptive neural design problem for uncertain stochastic nonlinear systems with non-lower triangular pure-feedback form and input constraint. On the basis of the mean-value theorem, the pure-feedback structure is first transformed into the desired affine structure, and then the well-known backstepping technology is applied to construct the actual input signal of the controller. Although the considered system has a fairly complex structure, a new adaptive neural tracking controller design frame is established via the flexible application of radial basis function (RBF) neural networks' (NNs') structural characteristics. The proposed design frame guarantees the control objective of this paper can be achieved. Finally, a simulation example is given to further illustrate the availability of the proposed control scheme.

Abstract In this paper, the multiple model strategy is applied to the adaptive control of switched linear systems to improve the transient performance. The solvability of the adaptive stabilization problem of each subsystem is not required. Firstly, the two-layer switching mechanism is designed. The state-dependent switching law with dwell time constraint is designed in the outer-layer switching to guarantee the stability of the switched systems. During the interval of dwell time constraint, the parameter resetting adaptive laws are designed in the inner-layer switching to improve the transient performance. Secondly, the minimum dwell time constraint providing enough time for multiple model adaptive control strategy to work fully and maintaining the stability of the switched systems is found. Finally, the proposed switched multiple model adaptive control strategy guarantees that all the closed-loop system signals remain bounded and the state tracking error converges to zero.
