This paper addresses output regulation problem for general linear systems subject to input saturation by composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) control. The CNF control law is constructed based on a switch control law which solves the output regulation problem by introducing a nonlinear feedback part. The purpose of the nonlinear feedback part is to improve the transient performance of the output r...

This paper investigates the design of composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) control law for an underactuated gantry crane system to achieve positioning and anti-swing control. First, the dynamic model of a nonlinear underactuated gantry crane system is established by using the Euler-Lagrange modeling method. Then, the CNF control law is designed for the system to improve the anti-swing performance...

In this paper, we present a composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) control technique for linear discrete-time multivariable systems with actuator saturation. The CNF control law serves to improve the transient performance of the closed-loop system by adding an additional nonlinear feedback. The linear feedback can be designed to yield a quick response at the initial stage, then the nonlinear feedba...

This paper studies the technique of the composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) control for a class of cascade nonlinear systems with input saturation. The objective of this paper is to improve the transient performance of the closed-loop system by designing a CNF control law such that the output of the system tracks a step input rapidly with small overshoot and at the same time maintains the stabil...

In this paper, the composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) technique is applied for yaw tracking control of active front steering system with the objectives to improve the transient performance of yaw rate response.

Integral sliding mode(ISM) based composite nonlinear feedback(CNF) tracking controller to track step signal is proposed. The proposed controller combines advantages of CNF controller like quick response without overshoot and robustness of ISM controller. Integral sliding mode is used along with CNF controller to reject disturbances and track nominal trajectory. Actuator saturation effect is con...

Transient performance is one of the important issues in tracking control problems such as target tracking and output regulation (see [1, 2]). In general, quick response and small overshoot are desirable in most of the target tracking control problems. However, it is well known that quick response results in a large overshoot. Thus, most of the design schemes have to make a tradeoff between thes...

This paper studies the technique of the composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) control for a class of cascade nonlinear systems with input saturation. In particular, the class of systems under consideration consists of two parts, a linear portion and a nonlinear portion with the output of the linear part connecting to the input of the nonlinear part and with the input of the given system being satu...

The problem of attitude stabilization of a fighter aircraft is investigated in this paper. The practical aspects of a real physical system like existence of external disturbance with unknown upper bound and actuator saturation are considered in the process of controller design of this aircraft. In order to design a robust autopilot in the presence of the actuator saturation, the Composite Nonli...
