Abstract

A novel neuro adaptive control framework for discrete-timemultivariable nonlinear uncertain systems is developed. The proposedframework is Lyapunov-based and guarantees, instead of ultimateboundedness, partial asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system;that is, Lyapunov stability of the closed-loop system states andattraction with respect to the plant states. Unlike standard neuralnetwork approximation, we assume that the approximation error can beconfined in a small gain-type norm-bounded conic sector over a compact set. Thishelps to couple tools from robust control with adaptive laws indiscrete time to prove partial asymptotic stability of theclosed-loop system. Finally, an illustrative numerical example isprovided to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach.
