4 Introduction In this work, direct adaptive neural network (NN) control has been studied for a class of MIMO NARMAX system. (i) Implicit function based adaptive NN control has been exploited to treat the nonaffine appearance of control input. (ii) With an assumption on the inverse control gain matrix, an update law using discrete Nussbaum gain and deadzone has been proposed for the MIMO system NN weights adaptation.

6 System Representation Consider a p-input and p-output NARMAX system: y(k+τ)=f (Y (k),u k 1 (k),u(k),d k 1 (k), d(k))+d(k+τ 1) (1) where τ 1, F ( ) R p is an unknown smooth vector valued function,d(k) = [d 1 (k),, d p (k)] T R p is the bounded disturbance, i.e., d(k) d b, and Y (k) = [y 1 (k),, y 1 (k n 1 + 1), y 2 (k),, y 2 (k n 2 + 1),, y p (k),, y p (k n p + 1)] T U k 1 (k) = [u 1 (k 1),, u 1 (k m 1 ), u 2 (k 1),, u 2 (k m 2 ),, u p (k 1),, u p (k m p )] T D k 1 (k) = [d 1 (k 1),, d 1 (k t 1 + 1), d 2 (k 1),, d 2 (k t 2 + 1),, d p (k 1),, d p (k t p + 1)] T d(k) = [d(k + τ 2),, d(k)] T, if τ 2

7 Assumptions Assumption The system function F (Y (k), U k 1 (k), D k 1 (k), d(k)) satisfies Lipschitz condition with respect to D k 1 (k) and d(k). Assumption F ( ) The control gain matrix G(k) = u(k), k 0, is a full rank matrix, and its inverse, G 1 (k), has an either positive definite or negative definite symmetric part, G IS (k) = G 1 (k)+g T (k) 2. In addition, the eigenvalues of G IS (k) are assumed to be bounded.

8 Control objective Remark Assumption 2 relaxes the assumption in earlier work [Ge, 04], which requires the existence of an orthogonal matrix Q(k) multiplying G 1 (k) to guarantee the eigenvalues of the product matrix are all positive. The control objective is to design a control input u(k), such that the system output tracks the bounded desired trajectory y d (k) = [y d1 (k),, y dp (k)] T R p, while all the closed loop signals remain bounded.

10 Implicit function adaptive control Implicit function based adaptive control was first proposed in [Goh and Lee, 94], where implicit function theorem is used to identify the existence of an ideal control. Remark (i) To use implicit function theorem, the control gain matrix is assumed to be nonsingular everywhere such that the implicit functions at all points can be strung together to furnish a unique implicit function defined globally. (ii) Implicit function control law generally cannot be expressed explicitly, but NN can be used to approximate it.

11 Discrete Nussbaum Gain The discrete Nussbaum gain was proposed in [Lee, 86]. For a discrete sequence {x(k)} defined as x(0) = 0, x(k) 0, x(k) = x(k + 1) x(k) δ 0 (2) where δ 0 can be positive constant, the discrete Nussbaum gain N(x(k)) is defined on the sequence x(k) as where x s (k) is defined as N(x(k)) = x s (k)s N (x(k)) (3) x s (k) = sup{x(σ)} (4) σ k

12 Discrete Nussbaum Gain The sign function s N (x(k)) is chosen as: Step (a): At k = k 1, measure output y(k 1 ) and compute x(k 1 ) and x(k 1 + 1) and S N (x(k 1 )). Case (s N (x(k 1 )) = +1): { If S N (x(k 1 )) x 3 2 s (k 1 ), then go to Step (b) If S N (x(k 1 )) > x 3 2 s (k 1 ), then go to Step (c) Case (s N (x(k 1 )) = 1): { If S N (x(k 1 )) < x 3 2 s (k 1 ), then go to Step (b) If S N (x(k 1 )) x 3 2 s (k 1 ), then go to Step (c) Step (b): Set s N (x(k 1 + 1)) = 1, go to Step (d). Step (c): Set s N (x(k 1 + 1)) = 1, go to Step (d). Step (d): Return to Step (a) and wait for the measurement of output y(k 1 + 1).

13 Stability lemma Lemma Consider the following summation σ=k S N (x(k)) = g(σ)n(x(σ)) x(σ) (5) σ=0 where x(k) 0 and g 1 g(k) g 2 with finite g 1 and g 2. (i) If x(k) increases without bound, then 1 sup x(k) δ 0 x(k) S N (x(k)) = + inf 1 x(k) δ 0 x(k) S N (x(k)) = (ii) If x(k) δ 1, then S N (x(k)) δ 2, where δ 1 and δ 2 are some positive constants.

15 Tracking error Define error vector e(k) = y(k) y d (k) = [e 1 (k), e 2 (k),..., e p (k)] T. It can be written as where e(k + τ) = F (Y (k), U k 1 (k), u(k), 0, 0) y d (k + τ) + F (k) + d(k + τ 1) (6) F (k) = F (Y (k), U k 1 (k), u(k), D k 1 (k), d(k)) F (Y (k), U k 1 (k), u(k), 0, 0) is bounded due the Lipschitz condition of F ( ) and boundedness of d(k) and D k 1 (k).

16 Ideal control According to implicit function theorem, there exists a unique and continuous ideal control input: u (k) = α c (Y (k), U k 1 (k), y d (k + τ)), where α c ( ) is an implicit function such that F (Y (k), U k 1 (k), u (k), 0, 0) y d (k + τ) = 0 (7) Assumption Given a bounded output y(k) Ω y R p, k > 0, where Ω y can be any bounded compact set, there is a corresponding bounded compact set Ω u such that the desired control u (k) is within the compact set Ω u.

17 NN approximation Consider employing a linear parametrized high order neural network (HONN) to approximate u (k) as follows u (k) = W T S( z(k)) + µ(k) (8) where W T R l q is the ideal NN weights matrix, z(k) = [Y T (k), Uk 1 T (k), y d T (k + τ)]t Ω z R q with q = p i=1 (n i + m i + 1) and µ(k) is the bounded NN approximation error vector satisfying µ(k) µ. Details of HONN can be found in [Ge, 01]

18 NN adaptive control Then, the adaptive NN control u(k) is constructed as u(k) = Ŵ T (k)s( z(k)) (9) where Ŵ (k) R l q and S( z(k)) R l. The NN weights adaptation law is given as Ŵ (k)=ŵ (k τ) γn(x(k))s( z(k τ))a(k)e T (k)/d(k) x(k)=a(k)γe T (k)e(k)/d(k), x(0)=0 D(k)=(1+ N(x(k)) 2 )(1+ S( z(k τ)) 2 + e(k) 2 ) { 1, if e(k) /(1 + N(x(k)) ) > λ a(k)= 0, otherwise where γ > 0 and λ > 0 can be arbitrary positive constants.

19 Main result Remark In the deadzone design, we do not need to know the upper bounds of the disturbance and NN approximation error. Parameter λ can be any positive constant specified by the designer. Theorem All closed-loop signals are guaranteed to be semi global uniformly ultimate bounded, the discrete Nussbaum gain N(x(k)) will converge to a constant, and the tracking error satisfies lim k sup e(k) < Cλ, with C = lim k (1 + N(x(k)) ).

21 Tracing error Using mean value theorem, the tracking error (6) can be written as e(k + τ) = F (Y (k), U k 1 (k), u (k), 0, 0) y d (k + τ) + F (k) + G ξ (k)[u(k) u (k)] + d(k + τ 1) (10) F ( ) where G ξ (k) =, u ξ(k) is a point of line uξ (k) u(k) L(u(k), u (k)) = {ξ ξ = θu(k) + (1 θ)u (k), 0 θ 1}. Using the adaptive NN control (9), we have W T (k τ)s( z(k τ)) = G 1 ξ (k τ)e(k) + d (k 1) (11) where d (k 1) = G 1 ξ (k τ)[ F (k τ) + d(k 1)] + µ(k) is bounded, i.e., d (k 1) db, with d b an unknown constant.

22 According to Assumption 2 on the inverse control gain matrix, there exist two positive constants ḡ and g such that or gi 1 2 ḡi (Gξ (k) + G T ξ (k)) ḡi (12) 1 (Gξ (k) + G T ξ (k)) gi (13) where I is the identity matrix. It implies there exists a sequence g(k) satisfying g g(k) ḡ such that e T (k)g 1 ξ (k τ)e(k) = e T (k) G 1 ξ = g(k)e T (k)e(k) (k τ)+g T ξ (k τ) 2 e(k) (14)

23 Stability proof Let us consider a positive definite function V (k) = τ tr{ W T (k τ + j) W (k τ + j)} (15) j=1 It can be shown that V (k) = V (k) V (k 1) = a(k)γ 2 N 2 (x(k)) ST ( z(k τ))s( z(k τ))e T (k)e(k) [ D 2 (k) 2γa(k) g(k)n(x(k)) et (k)e(k) D(k) + N(x(k))eT (k)d (k 1) D(k) ]

24 Stability proof From the definition of a(k) for the deadzone, it can be easily derived that a(k)n(x(k))e T (k)d (k 1) a(k) d b λ et (k)e(k) (16) which leads to V (k) c 1 a(k)γe T (k)e(k) D(k) with c 1 = γ + 2db /λ. It is equivalent to 2g(k)N(x(k)) γa(k)et (k)e(k) D(k) V (k) c 1 x(k) 2g(k)N(x(k)) x(k) (17)

25 Stability proof Taking summation and dividing by x(k) on both hand sides of (17) and noting x(k) 0, we have 0 V (k) x(k) c 1 2 x(k) k σ=1 g(σ)n(x(σ)) x(σ) + c 2 x(k) where c 2 is a finite constant. Then, according to conclusion (i) in Lemma 1, it will yields a contradiction if x(k) is unbounded because a positive function cannot oscillate between infinity and minus infinity. Then, together with (ii) in Lemma 1, we have (i) x(k), V (k) and N(x(k)) are bounded, and it implies (ii) Ŵ (k) is bounded.

26 Stability proof The boundedness of x(k) implies that lim k x(k) = 0. It implies lim k a(k) = 0 or lim k e T (k)e(k) D(k) 0 which leads to e(k) lim k sup 1+ N(x(k)) λ or lim k sup e(k) 0 according to Key Technical Lemma. Denote C = lim k (1 + N(x(k)) ), we have lim k sup e(k) < Cλ Then the boundedness of outputs y(k) is obvious. The boundedness of Ŵ (k) leads to the boundedness of u(k).

28 Simulation model The following MIMO NARMA system is used for simulation: y 1 (k + 2) = ±0.2 sin(u 1 (k)) ± u 1 (k) + d 1 (k) cos(y 2(k 1))+y 1 (k 1)+1.2u 2 (k)+y 2 (k)u 2 (k 1) 1+y 2 2 (k)+y 2 1 (k 1)+3u2 2 (k 1) y 2 (k + 2) = ± cos(u 2 (k)) ± 0.5u 2 (k) + d 2 (k) y 2(k 1)+1.6 sin(y 1 (k))u 1 (k 1) 1+u 2 1 (k 1)+2y 2 2 (k 1) (18) where d 1 (k) = 0.01 cos(0.1k) and d 2 (k) = 0.01 sin(0.1k) are disturbances. The reference trajectories are: y d1 (k) = cos(0.25πtk) sin(0.5πtk) and y d2 (k) = sin(0.25πtk) sin(0.5πtk), with T = 0.01, respectively.

29 Simulation result The simulation has been done twice with control fixed, but the ± in the simulation model has been chosen to be + and, respectively, such that such that the inverse control gain matrix G 1 (k) has an either positive definite or negative definite symmetric part. In the simulation, it can be seen that in both cases, the proposed adaptive NN control works well. The discrete Nussbaum gain N(x(k)) adapts by searching alternately in the two directions. It can been see that it turns from positive to negative when the model is with negative sign. Detail discussion of the Discrete Nussbaum gain can be found in [Lee, 87].
