Output consensus of nonlinear multi-agent systems with unknown control directions
In this paper, we consider an output consensus problem for a general class of
nonlinear multi-agent systems without a prior knowledge of the agents' control
directions. Two distributed Nussbaumtype control laws are proposed to solve the
leaderless and leader-following adaptive consensus for heterogeneous multiple
agents. Examples and simulations are given to verify their effectivenessComment: 10 pages;2 figure

Fast Adaptive Robust Differentiator Based Robust-Adaptive Control of Grid-Tied Inverters with a New L Filter Design Method
In this research, a new nonlinear and adaptive state feedback controller with a fast-adaptive robust differentiator is presented for grid-tied inverters. All parameters and external disturbances are taken as uncertain in the design of the proposed controller without the disadvantages of singularity and over-parameterization. A robust differentiator based on the second order sliding mode is also developed with a fast-adaptive structure to be able to consider the time derivative of the virtual control input. Unlike the conventional backstepping, the proposed differentiator overcomes the problem of explosion of complexity. In the closed-loop control system, the three phase source currents and direct current (DC) bus voltage are assumed to be available for feedback. Using the Lyapunov stability theory, it is proven that the overall control system has the global asymptotic stability. In addition, a new simple L filter design method based on the total harmonic distortion approach is also proposed. Simulations and experimental results show that the proposed controller assurances drive the tracking errors to zero with better performance, and it is robust against all uncertainties. Moreover, the proposed L filter design method matches the total harmonic distortion (THD) aim in the design with the experimental result
Yet Another Tutorial of Disturbance Observer: Robust Stabilization and Recovery of Nominal Performance
This paper presents a tutorial-style review on the recent results about the
disturbance observer (DOB) in view of robust stabilization and recovery of the
nominal performance. The analysis is based on the case when the bandwidth of
Q-filter is large, and it is explained in a pedagogical manner that, even in
the presence of plant uncertainties and disturbances, the behavior of real
uncertain plant can be made almost similar to that of disturbance-free nominal
system both in the transient and in the steady-state. The conventional DOB is
interpreted in a new perspective, and its restrictions and extensions are
discussed
