Predictor Feedback of Uncertain Single-Input Systems

Abstract

This chapter presents the predictor feedback for uncertain single-input systems. This is based on the predictor feedback framework for uncertainty-free single-input systems in the previous chapter. The chapter addresses the five combinations of the five uncertainties that come from a single-input linear plant with distributed actuator delay. These uncertainties include the following types: unknown delay, unknown delay kernel, unknown parameters in the system matrix, unmeasurable finite-dimensional plant state, and unmeasurable infinite-dimensional actuator state. The chapter then studies adaptive state feedback under unknown delay, delay kernel, and parameter. It also assesses robust output feedback under unknown delay, delay kernel, and PDE or ODE state.
