Strict-feedback Form

Strict-feedback Form

In control theory, dynamical systems are in strict-feedback form when they can be expressed as

begin{cases} dot{mathbf{x}} = f_0(mathbf{x}) + g_0(mathbf{x}) z_1\ dot{z}_1 = f_1(mathbf{x},z_1) + g_1(mathbf{x},z_1) z_2\ dot{z}_2 = f_2(mathbf{x},z_1,z_2) + g_2(mathbf{x},z_1,z_2) z_3\ vdots\ dot{z}_i = f_i(mathbf{x},z_1, z_2, ldots, z_{i-1}, z_i) + g_i(mathbf{x},z_1, z_2, ldots, z_{i-1}, z_i) z_{i+1} quad text{ for } 1 leq i < k-1\ vdots\ dot{z}_{k-1} = f_{k-1}(mathbf{x},z_1, z_2, ldots, z_{k-1}) + g_{k-1}(mathbf{x},z_1, z_2, ldots, z_{k-1}) z_k\ dot{z}_k = f_k(mathbf{x},z_1, z_2, ldots, z_{k-1}, z_k) + g_k(mathbf{x},z_1, z_2, dots, z_{k-1}, z_k) uend{cases}

where

  • with ,
  • are scalars,
  • is a scalar input to the system,
  • vanish at the origin (i.e., ),
  • are nonzero over the domain of interest (i.e., for ).

Here, strict feedback refers to the fact that the nonlinear functions and in the equation only depend on states that are fed back to that subsystem. That is, the system has a kind of lower triangular form.

Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “For women who do not love us, as for the “disappeared”, knowing that we no longer have any hope does not prevent us form continuing to wait. We live on our guard, on watch; women whose son has gone asea on a dangerous exploration imagine at any minute, although it has long been certain that he has perished, that he will enter, miraculously saved, and healthy.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
