Predictor Feedback for Uncertain Linear Systems With Distributed Input Delays
While the existing literature on delay-adaptive control concentrates on uncertain plants with discrete input delays, this article proposes a predictor feedback for stabilization of uncertain linear systems with distributed input delays. A finite-dimensional linear system with distributed actuator delay may come with five types of uncertainties: unknown delay, unknown delay kernel, unknown plant parameters, unmeasurable finite-dimensional plant state, and unmeasurable infinite-dimensional actuator state. For different combinations of uncertainties, distinct control designs are developed in the article, from which the users can make selections to address a vast range of problems they face.
