Nonlinear Modification Scheme for Reducing Cautiousness of Linear Robust Control

In this paper, we develope a composite control law for linear systems with norm-bounded time-varying parameter uncertainties, which consists of a basic linear robust control do-signed so as to generate a desired transient time-response for the worst-case parameter variation and a nonlinear modification term designed so as to reduce cautiousness of the linear robust control in an adaptive manner. The proposed controller is established such that the reduction of cautiousness of the linear robust control is well incorporated into the achievement of a good transient behavior.
