Design of model-based controllers for a class of nonlinear chaotic systems using a single output feedback and state observers.
A model-based control methodology for suppressing chaos for nonlinear systems is introduced. The proposed methodology generates new periodic orbits or steady states, which are not the solutions of the free system, using output feedback and state observers. The design uses the certainty equivalence principle to construct a linear closed loop system that can follow desired outputs with zero steady state offsets via using a pole-placement-like approach. The combined dynamics of both the controller and the state observer are carefully studied using the well-known Rössler system. The similarities and differences between the proposed control technique and both the double-notch filter feedback and the time-delay autosynchronization are investigated. The effect of parameter uncertainties is studied and robustness of the proposed controller is analyzed.
