Fuzzy Adaptive Quantized Control for a Class of Stochastic Nonlinear Uncertain Systems

In this paper, a fuzzy adaptive approach for stochastic strict-feedback nonlinear systems with quantized input signal is developed. Compared with the existing research on quantized input problem, the existing works focus on quantized stabilization, while this paper considers the quantized tracking problem, which recovers stabilization as a special case. In addition, uncertain nonlinearity and the unknown stochastic disturbances are simultaneously considered in the quantized feedback control systems. By putting forward a new nonlinear decomposition of the quantized input, the relationship between the control signal and the quantized signal is established, as a result, the major technique difficulty arising from the piece-wise quantized input is overcome. Based on fuzzy logic systems' universal approximation capability, a novel fuzzy adaptive tracking controller is constructed via backstepping technique. The proposed controller guarantees that the tracking error converges to a neighborhood of the origin in the sense of probability and all the signals in the closed-loop system remain bounded in probability. Finally, an example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.
