Controlled functional differential equations : approximate and exact asymptotic tracking with prescribed transient performance

AB - A tracking problem is considered in the context of a class $\mathcal {S}$ of multi-input, multi-output, nonlinear systems modelled by controlled functional differential equations. The class contains, as a prototype, all finite-dimensional, linear, $m$-input, $m$-output, minimum-phase systems with sign-definite “high-frequency gain”. The first control objective is tracking of reference signals $r$ by the output $y$ of any system in $\mathcal {S}$: given $\lambda \ge 0$, construct a feedback strategy which ensures that, for every $r$ (assumed bounded with essentially bounded derivative) and every system of class $\mathcal {S}$, the tracking error $e = y-r$ is such that, in the case $\lambda >0$, $\limsup _{t\rightarrow \infty }\Vert e(t)\Vert <\lambda $ or, in the case $\lambda =0$, $\lim _{t\rightarrow \infty }\Vert e(t)\Vert = 0$. The second objective is guaranteed output transient performance: the error is required to evolve within a prescribed performance funnel $\mathcal {F}_\varphi $ (determined by a function $\varphi $). For suitably chosen functions $\alpha $, $\nu $ and $\theta $, both objectives are achieved via a control structure of the form $u(t)=-\nu (k(t))\theta (e(t))$ with $k(t)=\alpha (\varphi (t)\Vert e(t)\Vert )$, whilst maintaining boundedness of the control and gain functions $u$ and $k$. In the case $\lambda =0$, the feedback strategy may be discontinuous: to accommodate this feature, a unifying framework of differential inclusions is adopted in the analysis of the general case $\lambda \ge 0$.
