In this study, nonlinear second order systems with unmeasured system states and bounded external disturbances are considered. The observer gain of the sliding mode observer is adjusted by using a support vector machine based plant model. Computer simulations are presented to show the effect of the proposed adjustment mechanism on the performance of the output feedback sliding mode controller. I...

A new approach for observer-based feedback control of time-delay systems is developed. Timedelays in systems lead to characteristic equations of infinite dimension, making the systems difficult to control with classical control methods. In this paper, a recently developed approach, based on the Lambert W function, is used to address this difficulty by designing an observer-based state feedback ...
