“…Hence, the transient and steady-state performance can be designed a priori via tuning the parameters −δ i , δ i , c i , λ i0 , and λ i∞ . To introduce prescribed performance, an error transformation is used to transform the original nonlinear system, with the constrained tracking error behavior (12), into an equivalent "unconstrained" one. With this purpose, we define a smooth strictly increasing function T i (z i ) of transformed error z i , which possesses the following properties:…”
