A controller architecture for nonlinear systems described by Gaussian RBF neural networks is proposed. The controller is a stabilising solution to a class of nonlinear optimal state tracking problems and consists of a combination of a state feedback stabilising regulator and a feedforward neuro-controller. The state feedback stabilising regulator is computed on-line by transforming the tracking problem into a more manageable regulation one, which is solved within the framework of a nonlinear predictive...
This paper proposes a nonlinear regression structure comprising a wavelet network and a linear term. The introduction of the linear term is aimed at providing a more parsimonious interpolation in high-dimensional spaces when the modelling samples are sparse. A constructive procedure for building such structures, termed linear-wavelet networks, is described. For illustration, the proposed procedure is employed in the framework of dynamic system identification. In an example involving a simulated...
The combination of model predictive control based on linear models (MPC) with feedback linearization (FL) has attracted interest for a number of years, giving rise to MPC+FL control schemes. An important advantage of such schemes is that feedback linearizable plants can be controlled with a linear predictive controller with a fixed model. Handling input constraints within such schemes is difficult since simple bound contraints on the input become state dependent because of the nonlinear transformation...
