Contents Recursive design in this book is composed of some simple basic steps. They are
referred to as “backstep** designs” because they step back toward the control input …

The issue of neural adaptive self-triggered tracking control for uncertain nonlinear systems
with input hysteresis is considered. Combining radial basis function neural networks …

Structural systems often show nonlinear behavior under severe excitations generated by
natural hazards. In that condition, the restoring force becomes highly nonlinear showing …

Hysterisis is a system property that is fundamental to a range of engineering applications as
the components of systems with hysterisis are able to react differently to different forces …

This technical note is concerned with the problem of adaptive tracking control for a class of
nonlinear systems with parametric uncertainty, unknown actuator nonlinearity and bounded …

Existing Nussbaum function based results on consensus of multi-agent systems require that
the unknown control directions of all the agents should be the same. This note proposes an …

This paper addresses the problem of adaptive fuzzy control for a class of stochastic pure-
feedback nonlinear systems with unknown direction hysteresis. Compared with the existing …

The Bouc-Wen model, widely used in structural and mechanical engineering, gives an
analytical description of a smooth hysteretic behavior. In practice, the Bouc-Wen model is …

In this note, we consider a class of uncertain dynamic nonlinear systems preceded by Bouc-
Wen type of hysteresis nonlinearity. A new perfect inverse function of the hysteresis is …

Tendon-sheath mechanism has “revolutionized” the use of flexible endoscopic systems, by
its many advantages of high maneuverability, lightweight, low cost, and simple design …
