Observer-Based Fuzzy Adaptive Output-Feedback Control of Stochastic Nonlinear Multiple Time-Delay Systems.

This paper is concerned with the observer-based fuzzy output-feedback control for stochastic nonlinear multiple time-delay systems. On the basis of the consistent form of virtual input signals and increasing characteristics of the system upper bound functions, a variable splitting technique is employed to surmount the difficulty occurred in the nonlower-triangular form. In the controller design procedure, a state observer is first designed, and then an adaptive fuzzy output-feedback control method is presented by combining backstepping design together with fuzzy systems' universal approximation capability. The proposed adaptive controller guarantees the semi-global boundedness of closed-loop system trajectories in terms of fourth-moment. Two simulation examples are displayed to demonstrate the feasibility of the suggested controller.
