Abstract

In this paper, we have presented an adaptive controller for a class of nonlinear systems. The proposed control law includes some terms to eliminate nonlinear parts. Also, an adaptive term is considered dealing with the uncertainties of the system. This controller is designed in several steps by establishing the finite time stability condition. Finite time stability of the each step is proved using Lyapunov theorem. Also, the relation of the convergence time depending on the initial conditions is presented. Numerical simulations are presented in this paper for a Maglev system to evaluate the analysis and effectiveness of the controller. Robustness of the control schemes in the presence of uncertainty is also investigated.

Keywords Adaptive control, finite time convergence, nonlinear system, uncertainty
