In this article, the problem of asymptotic attenuation and rejection is investigated for a class of cascade systems with general periodic disturbances via a non-linear disturbance observer and H ' control. First, a novel disturbance observer is developed to estimate general periodic disturbances, where the disturbances are described as a linear uncertain system with a non-linear output function. Then, a composite controller is constructed by combining the disturbance estimation with the partial state feedback control law, such that, the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and meets H ' performance. With the help of the Lyapunov function theory and the linear matrix inequality method, some sufficient conditions for the desired controller and observer gains are established. Finally, numerical and application examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
