Adaptive Control of Uncertain Nonlinear Time-Delay Systems With External Disturbance

In this article, adaptive state feedback stabilization is addressed for a class of delayed uncertain systems with external disturbance, where the time delays and the bound parameters of the delayed states and disturbance are assumed to be unknown. By introducing a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, we present a memoryless control strategy to stabilize nonlinear time-delay systems through newly defined control gain function. The main contribution of this article lies in the construction of control gain function. Multiple gain functions can be revealed in a function set. The asymptotic stability of the closed delayed nonlinear system is ensured. Simulation examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
