A nonparametric learning framework for nonlinear robust output regulation
This paper proposes a nonparametric learning solution framework for a generic
internal model design of nonlinear robust output regulation. The global robust
output regulation problem for a class of nonlinear systems with output feedback
subject to a nonlinear exosystem can be tackled by constructing a linear
generic internal model, provided that a continuous nonlinear mapping exists. An
explicit continuous nonlinear mapping was constructed recently in [1] under the
assumption that the steady-state generator is linear in the exogenous signal.
We further relax such an assumption to a relaxed assumption that the
steady-state generator is polynomial in the exogenous signal. A nonparametric
learning framework is proposed to solve a linear time-varying equation to make
the nonlinear continuous mapping always exist. With the help of the proposed
framework, the nonlinear robust output regulation problem can be converted into
a robust non-adaptive stabilization problem for the augmented system with
integral Input-to-State Stable (iISS) inverse dynamics. Moreover, a dynamic
gain approach can adaptively raise the gain to a sufficiently large constant to
achieve stabilization without requiring any a priori knowledge of the
uncertainties appearing in the dynamics of the exosystem and the system. We
further apply the nonparametric learning framework to globally reconstruct and
estimate multiple sinusoidal signals with unknown frequencies without using
adaptive techniques. An explicit nonlinear mapping can directly provide the
estimated parameters, which will exponentially converge to the unknown
frequencies. As a result, a feedforward control design is proposed to solve the
output regulation using our nonparametric learning framework.Comment: 15 pages; Nonlinear control; iISS stability; output regulation;
