Adaptive neural network control for nonlinear non-strict feedback time-delay systems

This paper focuses on adaptive neural control for a class of non-strict feedback nonlinear systems with state delays and input delay. By combining integral transformation with adaptive neural control approach, a backstepping-based adaptive neural control scheme is proposed. The suggested control schemes guarantees that the tracking error converges to a small neighbourhood of the origin, meanwhile, all the closed-loop signals remain bounded. Simulation examples are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
