Lebesgue-\(p\) norm convergence analysis of PD\(^\alpha\)-type iterative learning control for fractional-order nonlinear systems (Q1727138)

Summary: The first-order and second-order PD\(^\alpha\)-type iterative learning control (ILC) schemes are considered for a class of Caputo-type fractional-order nonlinear systems. Due to the imperfection of the \(\lambda\)-norm, the Lebesgue-\(p\) (\(L^p\)) norm is adopted to overcome the disadvantage. First, a generalization of the Gronwall integral inequality with singularity is established. Next, according to the reached generalized Gronwall integral inequality and the generalized Young inequality, the monotonic convergence of the first-order PD-type ILC is investigated, while the convergence of the second-order PD-type ILC is analyzed. The resultant condition shows that both the learning gains and the system dynamics affect the convergence. Finally, numerical simulations are exploited to verify the results.
