Temperature control of an enclosed thermal system which has many applications including Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) of semiconductor wafers showed an input-constraint violation for nonlinear controllers due to inherent strong coupling between the elements [1]. In this paper, a constrained nonlinear optimal control design is developed, which accommodates input constraints using the linear algebraic equivalence of the nonlinear controllers, for the temperature control of an enclosed thermal process. First, it will be shown that design of nonlinear controllers is equivalent to solving a set of linear algebraic equations-the linear algebraic equivalence of nonlinear controllers (LAENC). Then an input-constrained nonlinear optimal controller is designed based on that LAENC using the constrained linear least squares method. Through numerical simulations, it is demonstrated that the proposed controller achieves the equivalent performances to the classical nonlinear controllers with less total energy consumption. Moreover, it generates the practical control solution, in other words, control solutions do not violate the input-constraints.

In this paper, we describe the algorithm which controls an unknown nonlinear system with multilayer neural network. The multilayer neural network can be used to approximate any continuous function to any desired degree of accuracy. With the former fact, we approximate unknown nonlinear function on the nonlinear system by using of multilayer neural network. The weight-update rule of multilayer neural network is derived to satisfy Lyapunov stability. The whole control system constitutes controller using feedback linearization method. The weight of neural network which is used to implement nonlinear function is updated by the derived update-rule. The proposed control algorithm is verified through computer simulation.

In adaptive neuro-control, neural networks are used to approximate the unknown plant nonlinearities. Until now, most of the papers in the field of controller design fur nonlinear system using neural networks considers the affine system with fixed number of neurons. This paper considers nonaffne nonlinear systems and dynamic variation of the number of neurons. Control laws and adaptive laws for weights are established so that the whole system is stable in the sense of Lyapunov.

Control of Industrial processes is very difficult due to nonlinear dynamics, effect of disturbances and modeling errors. M.Morari proposed Internal Model Control(IMC) system that can be effectively applied to the systems with model uncertainties and time delays. The advantage of IMC is their robustness with respect to a model mismatch and disturbances. But it is difficult to apply for nonlinear systems. ANFIS(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) which contains multiple linear models as consequent part is used to model nonlinear systems. Generally, the linear parameters in ANFIS can be effectively utilized to control a nonlinear systems. In this paper, we propose new ANFIS-based IMC controller for nonlinear systems. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed control scheme has good performances.

In this paper, we study the problem of stabilizing a general nonlinear control system by means of gradient descent control method which is a dynamic feedback control law. In this method, the general nonlinear control system can be considered as an affine nonlinear control systems. Then by using Sontag's formula we investigate the stability (asymptotic) of the general nonlinear control system.

In order to realize the multi-objective control of single-input multi-output nonlinear differential algebraic system (NDAS) and to improve the dynamic characteristics and static accuracy, a design method of nonlinear control with multi-objective feedback (NCMOF) is proposed, the principium of this method to arrange system poles, as well as its nature to coordinate dynamic characteristics and static accuracy of the system are analyzed in detail. Through NCMOF design method, the multi-objective control of the system is transformed into linear space, and then it is effectively controlled under the nonlinear feedback control law, the problem to balance all control objectives caused by less input and more output of the system thus is solved. Applying NCMOF design method to generator excitation system, the nonlinear excitation control law with terminal voltage, active power and rotor speed as objective outputs is designed. Simulation results show that NCMOF can not only improve the dynamic characteristics of generator, but also damp the mechanical oscillation of a generator in transient process. Moreover, NCMOF can control the terminal voltage of the generator to the setting value with no static error under typical disturbances.

In this paper, some differential geometric conditions for the observer using a recurrent neural network are provided in terms of a stochastic nonlinear system control. In the stochastic nonlinear system, it is necessary to make an additional condition for observation of stochastic nonlinear system, called perfect filtering condition. In addition, we provide a observer using a recurrent neural network for the observation of a stochastic nonlinear system with the proposed observation conditions. Computer simulation shows that the control performance of the stochastic nonlinear system with a observer using a recurrent neural network satisfying the proposed conditions is more efficient than the conventional observer as Kalman filter

In this paper, some geometric condition for a stochastic nonlinear system and an adaptive control method for minimum-phase stochastic nonlinear system using neural network me provided. The state feedback linearization is widely used technique for excluding nonlinear terms in nonlinear system. However, in the stochastic environment, even if the minimum phase linear system derived by the feedback linearization is not sufficient to be controlled robustly. In the viewpoint of that, it is necessary to make an additional condition for observation of nonlinear stochastic system, called perfect filtering condition. In addition, on the above stochastic nonlinear observation condition, I propose an adaptive control law using neural network. Computer simulation shoo's that the stochastic nonlinear system satisfying perfect filtering condition is controllable and the proposed neural adaptive controller is more efficient than the conventional adaptive controller.

In this note, a systematic general design of a new robust nonlinear variable structure controller based on state dependent nonlinear form is presented for the control of uncertain affine nonlinear systems with mismatched uncertainties and mismatched disturbance. After an affine uncertain nonlinear system is represented in the form of state dependent nonlinear system, a systematic design of a new robust nonlinear variable structure controller is presented. To be linear in the closed loop resultant dynamics, the nonlinear integral-type sliding surface is applied. A corresponding control input is proposed to satisfy the closed loop exponential stability and the existence condition of the sliding mode on the nonlinear integral-type sliding surface, which will be investigated in Theorem 1. Through a design example and simulation studies, the usefulness of the proposed controller is verified.
