Abstract

This paper presents a novel indirect adaptive control scheme that integrates fuzzy logic with a virtual integral-based adaptive controller to enhance the tracking performance of linear cascade systems under bounded unknown disturbances. The proposed controller builds upon the established indirect adaptive control framework, employing a virtual state algorithm but augments it with a fuzzy inference mechanism that dynamically adjusts a key control parameter to improve robustness and adaptability. Gaussian membership functions and a Sugeno-type fuzzy inference system are employed to fine-tune the gain parameter based on real-time tracking error and its derivative. The control law incorporates parameter adaptation, a saturation function to replace discontinuous sign operations, and a fuzzy-tuned gain to mitigate chattering and improve transient response. Simulation results under severe disturbances demonstrate significant improvements in tracking accuracy and control smoothness. Specifically, the proposed fuzzy-based controller reduces steady-state tracking error by over 40%, minimizes control chattering, and maintains robust performance under disturbance amplitudes up to 185 units-conditions that severely degrade the performance of the non-fuzzy indirect adaptive controller. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is shown by handling model uncertainties and external perturbations in a two-level linear cascade system.

Abstract

Accurate estimation of unknown and time-varying disturbances is essential for achieving high-performance control of nonlinear systems. This paper investigates the design and comparative evaluation of finite-time disturbance observers with different gain adaptation mechanisms. First, a conventional fixed-gain finite-time disturbance observer and a linearly adaptive finite-time disturbance observer are presented. Then, an adaptive finite-time disturbance observer based on fuzzy logic control is developed to automatically adjust observer gains according to the disturbance estimation error and its rate of change, thereby reducing gain sensitivity and improving transient performance. Finite-time stability of the closed-loop system is rigorously analyzed using Lyapunov theory, and sufficient conditions for convergence are derived. Extensive simulation studies on a nonlinear system subject to high-frequency time-varying disturbances demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Quantitative results show that the adaptive finite-time disturbance observer based on fuzzy logic control reduces tracking error and disturbance estimation root mean square error by more than 75% compared with the conventional finite-time disturbance observer and by over 50% compared with the linearly adaptive observer, while yielding smoother control inputs. These results confirm that the adaptive finite-time disturbance observer based on fuzzy logic control significantly enhances robustness and estimation accuracy, making the proposed observer suitable for practical nonlinear control applications under severe disturbance conditions.
