1 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL, VOL 50, NO 5, MAY Robust Output Feedback Stabilization of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems With Uncontrollable and Unobservable Linearization Bo Yang, Student Member, IEEE, and Wei Lin, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract This paper investigates the problem of robust output feedback stabilization for a family of uncertain nonlinear systems with uncontrollable/unobservable linearization To achieve global robust stabilization via smooth output feedback, we introduce a rescaling transformation with an appropriate dilation, which turns out to be very effective in dealing with uncertainty of the system Using this rescaling technique combined with the nonseparation principle based design method, we develop a robust output feedback control scheme for uncertain nonlinear systems in the -normal form, under a homogeneous growth condition The construction of smooth state feedback controllers and homogeneous observers uses only the knowledge of the bounding homogeneous system rather than the uncertain system itself The robust output feedback design approach is then extended to a class of uncertain cascade systems beyond a strict-triangular structure Examples are provided to illustrate the results of the paper Index Terms Global robust stabilization, homogeneous observers, nonseparation principle design, rescaling transformation, smooth output feedback, uncertain nonlinear systems, uncontrollable/unobservable linearization I INTRODUCTION IN THIS paper, we consider the problem of global robust stabilization via a single smooth output feedback controller, for a family of uncertain systems of the form (11), and are the system input, state and output, respectively, and is an odd integer The mappings,, are functions that involve uncertainty and may not be precisely known It is worth to mention that a necessary and sufficient condition was first characterized in [3] and then extended in [21], for the Manuscript received April 12, 2004; revised December 6, 2004 Recommended by Associate Editor W Kang This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grants ECS and DMS , and in part by the Air Force Research Laboratory under Grant FA C-0110 The authors are with Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH USA ( linwei@nonlinearcwruedu) Digital Object Identifier /TAC existence of a change of coordinates (diffeomorphism) and a state feedback control law transforming a smooth affine system and into the nonlinear system (11) with a suitable form of Therefore, (11) can be viewed as a generalized normal form of affine systems when exact feedback linearization is not possible For the class of affine systems that is topologically equivalent to (11), interesting stabilization results have been obtained over the years For example, local and global asymptotic stabilization of the system (11) with, and,, using smooth state feedback, were investigated in [4] and [2], respectively In the -dimensional case, a globally stabilizing smooth state feedback control law was explicitly designed in [17], for a class of nonlinear systems (11) under appropriate growth conditions that can be regarded as a high order version of feedback linearizable condition Much of the literature on stabilization of nonlinear systems has focused on the design of state feedback In the past two years, research efforts toward the development of output feedback control schemes for nonlinear systems with uncontrollable/unobservable linearization have gained momentum Reference [20] studied the global stabilization of the nonlinear system (11) in the plane via smooth output feedback Under suitable conditions imposed on,, a reduced-order nonlinear observer was designed in [20], resulting in a globally stabilizing, smooth dynamic output compensator Notably, the output feedback design in [20] does not rely on the separation principle Instead, it uses the idea of coupled controller observer construction In [7], Dayawansa proved the existence of a smooth output feedback stabilizer for the three-dimensional system (11) when and, His proof is based on the theory of homogeneous systems [9], [1] and some elegant design techniques from [5], [6], [12], [10], and [22] More recently, we have shown that for the -dimensional nonlinear system (11) with,, which is homogeneous, the problem of global stabilization is solvable by smooth output feedback [23] This was done by developing a new observe design technique for the construction of a homogeneous observer, combined with the method [17] for the design of a smooth state feedback controller When, and satisfy a global Lipschitz-like condition, we further showed that global stabilization of the nonhomogeneous /$ IEEE

output feedback control strategy in [23] is the development a recursive algorithm for the design of homogeneous observers, which makes it possible to assign the gains of the homogeneous observer one-by-one, in a step-by-step manner Although such an observer design is substantially different from the Luenberger or high-gain observer design [13], [8], [14], [16], [11], [15], it still uses a copy of the original system and hence requires the precise information of the controlled plant In other words, the nonlinear functions,, in (11) must be independent of and involve no uncertainty As a result, the output feedback control scheme in [23] is not robust with respect to parametric or structural uncertainty Moreover, it cannot be applied to uncertain nonlinear systems such as (11) The main purpose of this paper is to address the robust issue discussed previously, and to develop a robust output feedback control scheme for a family of uncertain systems (11) under suitable growth conditions In the case of, such robust control problems have been studied, for instance, in [19] under a linear growth condition In view of the work [19], it appears to be natural to impose the homogeneous growth condition below, and to investigate the question whether global robust stabilization of the uncertain nonlinear system (11) is achievable by smooth output feedback Assumption 11: There exists a real constant such that (12) One of the objectives of this paper is to address this question and to provide an affirmative answer by constructing, under Assumption 11, a smooth dynamic output compensator (13) which globally robustly stabilizes the entire family of uncertain systems (11) Since Assumption 11 is weaker than the higher-order type of the global Lipschitz condition given in [23] (see Remark 35), the class of nonlinear systems considered in this paper is larger than those studied in [23] More significantly, because the design of the dynamic output compensator (13) uses only the knowledge of the upper bound of, ie, the condition (12) instead of itself, global output feedback stabilization will be achieved in a robust fashion, that is, in a manner which is not sensitive to perturbations and parametric uncertainty in the system This is one of the major differences between [23] and this paper The key for achieving robustness is the introduction of a rescaling technique with a subtle dilation, which transforms the original system (11) into a rescaled one for which a dynamic output compensator can be constructed using the output feedback design method in [23], with a suitable twist, in particular, by discarding the system uncertainty when designing homogeneous observers With the help of the rescaling technique, the uncertain nonlinearities in (11) can be dominated easily by tuning the rescaling factor In the case of uncertain systems with controllable/observable linearization (ie, ), the new design method provides not only a deeper insight but also an interesting alternative solution to the robust output feedback stabilization problem considered in [19] The other goal of the paper is to show how robust output feedback control strategies can be developed, under appropriate conditions, for a wider class of uncertain nonlinear systems with uncontrollable and unobservable linearization in the -normal form (31) and cascade form (412), which go beyond a triangular structure Several examples are given to demonstrate the applications of the robust output feedback design method proposed in this paper II ROBUST OUTPUT FEEDBACK DESIGN: THE CASE OF To better understand how global robust stabilization of the uncertain nonlinear system (11) with uncontrollable/unobservable linearization can be achieved by smooth output feedback under Assumption 11, we revisit a simple situation of (11), ie, the case when the first approximation of (11) is controllable and observable In this case, the uncertain system (11) can be rewritten as and Assumption 11 reduces to the linear growth condition (21) (22) In [19], we have shown that global robust stabilization of the uncertain system (21) satisfying (22) is solvable by a linear output dynamic compensator The proof was not based on the separation principle but instead, relied on a coupled controllerobserver design [19] Due to the linear nature of [19], it is, however, not easy to extend the output feedback design approach of [19] to a family of uncertain nonlinear systems such as (11) In this section, we explore an alternative output feedback control strategy that takes advantage of homogeneity of the system and, hence, might be naturally extended, in an intuitive and transparent manner, to the uncertain nonlinear system (11) with To this end, we introduce a rescaling transformation with a suitable dilation for the original system (21), which is motivated by[24] and turns out to be crucial for dominating the uncertainty of (21) To be precise, let (23) is a rescaling factor to be determined later Under the new coordinates s, the uncertain system (21) can be expressed as (24)
3 YANG AND LIN: ROBUST OUTPUT FEEDBACK STABILIZATION OF UNCERTAIN NONLINEAR SYSTEMS 621 By the hypothesis (22), the uncertain functions,, also satisfy the linear growth condition Consequently, the unmeasurable state of (24) can be estimated as follows: (211) By construction, the reduced-order observer (210) (211) is implementable Let,, be the estimate errors Then, the error dynamics is given by (25) For the rescaled uncertain system (24) with the constraint (25), it is straightforward to design recursively, in a fashion similar to the one in [19], a linear state feedback controller such that (26) (27) is a quadratic Lyapunov function,,, and with and being known constants independent of Next, we will design a linear observer for the rescaled system (24) Because is measurable and only unmeasurable states of (24) are, it is natural to design an -dimensional observer rather than a full-order observer Motivated by the reduced-order observer design for linear systems, we shall build an th-order linear observer to estimate, instead of the states, the unmeasurable variables defined by (212) Inspired by the certainty equivalence principle, we replace the unmeasurable state in the controller (26) by its estimate generated by the observer (210) (211) In this way, we get the following implementable controller: Substituting (213) into (27) yields is a constant independent of Now, consider the Lyapunov function (213) (214) for the closed-loop system (213) (212) (24) A simple calculation results in (28) are gain constants to be assigned later From (28), it is clear that (29) (215) Using the completion of square, together with the linear growth condition (25), it is not difficult to deduce from (215) (214) that In view of (29), we construct the th-order linear observer (regardless of the uncertain terms, ) (216) (210) is the estimates of the unmeasurable state are positive constants independent of, while and, are known constants independent of and all s

5 YANG AND LIN: ROBUST OUTPUT FEEDBACK STABILIZATION OF UNCERTAIN NONLINEAR SYSTEMS 623 Using (32) and the fact that, it is easy to see that With the help of Lemma 65 and computation gives, a direct (39) is a constant independent of Substituting (39) into (38), we deduce from Lemmas 61 and 63 that (35) Applying Lemma 61 to (35), we obtain the following estimations ( ): (310) is a constant independent of Thus, the virtual controller, with being a constant independent of, is such that (36) is a known constant independent of In this way, a new parameter the rescaling factor is introduced for the design of dynamic output compensators It creates an extra freedom and plays an important role in dealing with the system uncertainty, ie,,, in (34) ii) State Feedback Design: For the rescaled system (34) satisfying the growth condition (36), one can construct a robust state feedback controller via the smooth feedback design method [17] Let with and choose the Lyapunov function Then, it is easy to deduce from (36) that (311) Using an inductive argument similar to the one in [17], one can find a set of virtual controllers, transformations, and Lyapunov functions and a smooth state feedback control law such that (312) (313) Keeping in mind, the virtual controller, with being a constant independent of, results in (37) Next, let and choose the Lyapunov function Using (34), (36), and (37), we have (314) all the constants and are known and independent of iii) Output Feedback Design: Since of the rescaled system (34) are unmeasurable but is measurable, we need only to design an -dimensional observer for (34) However, the reduced-order observer design method in [23] cannot be applied to the rescaled system (34) because it uses a copy of,, which are time-varying and not precisely known Motivated by the robust observer design in Section II, in what follows we shall construct an -dimensional robust homogeneous observer to estimate, instead of the states, the unmeasurable variables the parameters determined later From (315), it follows that (315) are gain constants to be (38) (316)
6 624 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL, VOL 50, NO 5, MAY 2005 In view of (316), one can construct the homogeneous observer -dimensional To determine the observer gains change of coordinates, consider the (317) which does not involve the uncertain functions in (34) This is substantially different from the homogeneous observer proposed in [23] By construction, the reduced-order observer (317) is implementable Moreover, the estimates of s can be obtained based on the relationships (318) Let,, be the estimate errors Then, the error dynamics is given by (322) In the coordinates of and, (321) can be represented as (by Lemma 63) (323) are positive real constants independent of, and is a known constant independent of and all the s The error dynamics (319) in the coordinate can be rewritten as (319) By the certainty equivalence principle, the unmeasurable state in the controller (313) can be replaced by its estimate generated by the nonlinear observer (317) (318) In this way, one obtains the implementable feedback controller (320) Substituting (320) into (314) and using Lemmas 65 and 63, we have Now, consider the Lyapunov function A direct computation gives (324) (325) Similar to [23], it is not difficult to get the following estimations for each term on the right-hand side of (325): is a real constant related to s and independent of With the aid of (312) and Lemmas 63 and 61, the aforementioned inequality can be simplified as (321) is a constant independent of

8 626 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL, VOL 50, NO 5, MAY 2005 On the other hand, a simple calculation shows that the uncertain system (331) satisfies the homogeneous growth condition (12) Indeed By Corollary 33, a reduced-order dynamic output compensator can be designed as follows: is an odd integer The functions and,, are To tackle the problem of global robust stabilization by smooth output feedback for the cascade system (41), we make the following assumptions Assumption 41: There is a Lyapunov function, which is positive definite and proper, such that (332) which globally robustly stabilizes system (331) It should be pointed out that unlike in [23], the design of the output feedback controller (332) does not require the knowledge of the uncertain term This is substantially different from the work [23], a copy of the term must be used for the construction of a nonlinear observer As a result, the output feedback control scheme proposed in [23] is not robust and cannot be employed to control uncertain systems such as (331) Remark 35: It is worth pointing out that even in the absence of uncertainty, Corollary 33 is new Moreover, it has incorporated and generalized the output feedback stabilization results obtained previously in [23] Specifically, Corollary 33 can be applied to a larger class of nonlinear systems such as and because both of them satisfy the homogeneous growth condition (12) However, none of them satisfies the higher-order version of global Lipschitz-like condition, ie, [23, Ass 51] As a result, [23, Th 53] cannot be employed here to solve the output feedback stabilization problem for the two nonlinear systems shown previously IV OUTPUT FEEDBACK STABILIZATION OF UNCERTAIN CASCADE SYSTEMS The purpose of this section is to investigate how the robust output feedback stabilization result obtained in the previous section can be extended to a family of uncertain cascade systems of the form is a real constant Assumption 42: For and (42) (43) Clearly, Assumption 41 is a sort of ISS-like condition, while Assumption 42 is an extension of the homogeneous growth condition (32) With the help of these two conditions, we can prove the following result on global output feedback stabilization of the uncertain cascade system (41) Theorem 43: Under Assumptions 41 42, the uncertain cascade system (41) is globally asymptotically stabilizable by smooth output feedback Proof: The proof of this result is similar to that of Theorem 32 A key difference lies in the design of a partial-state rather than full-state feedback controller for the uncertain cascade system (41) For this reason, we give only a sketch of the proof highlighting the difference As done in the proof of Theorem 32, we first introduce a rescaling transformation that is composed of and (33) for the uncertain system (41) Such a transformation gives (44) In view of Assumption 42, it is straightforward to show that the uncertainty of system (44) satisfies the constraint (45) (41) and are the system input and output, respectively, and are the system states, and is a known constant independent of For the rescaled system (44) with the constraint (45), it can be proved that Assumptions 41 and 42 imply the existence of a globally stabilizing, partial-state feedback controller
9 YANG AND LIN: ROBUST OUTPUT FEEDBACK STABILIZATION OF UNCERTAIN NONLINEAR SYSTEMS 627 To see why this is the case, consider the Lyapunov function Then, it follows from (42) that (46) (47) Because the states are unmeasurable, the controller (49) cannot be directly implemented To obtain an implementable controller, we design an -dimensional observer for recovering of the rescaled system (44) Motivated by the robust observer design in the last section, we ignore the uncertain terms,, in system (44) and construct the dynamic output compensator Let and choose the Lynapunov function Using the fact and (47), one deduces from (44) (45) and Young s inequality that (411) are the observer gains to be assigned The remaining part of the proof is to determine the parameters as well as the rescaling factor, which is analogous to that of Theorem 32 and therefore left to the reader as an exercise In conclusion, one can prove that by suitably choosing the gain constants and one-byone, the closed-loop system (44) (411) can be rendered globally asymptotically stable at the origin Clearly, in the case when an uncertain system is of the form is a constant independent of Clearly, the virtual controller, with being a constant independent of, yields Assumption 42 reduces to the following Assumption 44: There exists a constant (412) such that Using a similar inductive argument we conclude at the th step that there exist a set of transformations (48) a Lyapunov function and a partial-state feedback control law of the form (49) such that (413) Then, we have the following useful corollary Corollary 45: Under Assumptions 41 and 44, the uncertain cascade system (412) is globally robustly stabilizable by smooth output feedback We conclude this section with an example that illustrates how Theorem 43 can be employed to solve the difficult problem of global robust stabilization by smooth output feedback, for uncertain cascade systems beyond a triangular structure Example 46: Consider the uncertain cascade system (410) all the parameters and are known constants independent of Note that inequality (410) reduces to (314) in the absence of -dynamics (414) is an unknown constant bounded by a known constant, for instance, by one Note that this nonlinear system has three key features that make global output feedback stabilization of (414) subtle First of all, system (414) is not in a lower triangular form due to
