Abstract

This paper deals with the adaptive output feedback control problem of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with an unknown non-symmetric dead-zone nonlinearity. The nonlinear system considered here is dominated by a triangular system without zero dynamics satisfying polynomial growth in the unmeasurable states. An adaptive control scheme is developed without constructing the dead-zone inverse. The proposed adaptive control scheme requires only the information of bounds of the slopes and the breakpoint of dead-zone nonlinearity. The novelty of this paper is that a universal-type adaptive output feedback controller is numerically constructed by using a sum of squares (SOS) optimization algorithm, which ensures the boundedness of all the signals in the adaptive closed-loop without knowing the growth rate of the uncertainties. An example is presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
