Non-Equilibrium Transient Trajectory Shaping Control via a Three-Stage Switching Method for a Class of Nonlinear Systems

This paper presents a three-stage switching control method to deal with the non-equilibrium transient trajectory shaping (NETTS) control problem for a class of nonlinear systems. Through this method, the system tracking error non-equilibrium transient trajectory can be effectively shaped by constant boundaries and two pre-designed, exponentially-converging bounds. The tracking error is handled by a Barrier Lyapunov Function (BLF) in the first …
