Global stabilisation of high-order nonlinear systems with multiple time delays
This paper focuses on the stabilisation for a class of high-order nonlinear systems with multiple time delays. Growth restriction on system nonlinearities is further relaxed. Design procedures of a continuous controller are provided by the method of adding a power integrator, and the stability of the resulting closed-loop system is rigorously proven with the help of the elegant choice of a LyapunovKrasovskii functional. Finally, a simulation example is provided to demonstrate the validness of the proposed approach.
