DIRECT ADAPTIVE CONTROL OF NONLINEAR SYSTEMS WITH UNCERTAIN UNSTABLE ZERO DYNAMICS

Abstract

The proposed research focuses on a fundamental and challenging problem in feedback control theory with well-documented applicability to a pressing need in advanced aerospace technology. In particular, the theoretical thrust of this research is aimed at the problem of controlling systems with uncertain unstable zero dynamics. Systems with these properties are extremely challenging, and no existing methods are able to address them with any level of reliability. At the same time, this research is timely since it is directly motivated by the dynamics of hypersonic vehicles. This need is well documented in the literature and highlighted by ight experiments.
