U-model Based Adaptive Tracking Scheme for Unknown MIMO Bilinear Systems

Abstract

Bilinear systems are attractive candidates for many dynamical processes, since they allow a significantly larger class of behaviour than linear systems, yet retain a rich theory which is closely related to the familiar theory of linear systems. A new technique for the control of unknown MIMO bilinear systems is introduced. The scheme is based on the U-model with identification based on radial basis functions neural networks which is known for mapping any nonlinear function. U-model is a control oriented model used to represent a wide range of non-linear discrete time dynamic plants. The proposed tracking scheme is presented and verified using simulation examples
