Dynamic output feedback control of nonlinear singularly perturbed systems (Q2564853)

For two classes of nonlinear singularly perturbed systems stabilization via dynamic output feedback is investigated. First, the nonlinear singularly perturbed systems in which the nonlinearities are continuously differentiable are considered. The theoretical results demonstrate that, using the factorization approach, the dynamic output feedback controller designed for the reduced-order model of the linearized system is a stabilizing compensator for the original nonlinear singularly perturbed system, provided that \(\varepsilon\) is sufficiently small. Second, nonlinear singularly perturbed systems in which the nonlinearities are not necessarily continuously differentiable but satisfy the global Lipschitz condition are examined. Combining the dynamic output feedback controller that stabilizes the reduced order model of the linear part of the nonlinear singulary perturbed system with the quasistability result of Persidskij, a two-step compensating scheme is proposed to stabilize the original nonlinear singularly perturbed system under consideration for a sufficiently small \(\varepsilon\).
