Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, the problem of the robust optimal control (ROC) for a class of nonlinear systems with uncertainties and external disturbances is studied. For this purpose, the State Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) is considered as a solution of the ROC. The proposed method is to transform a robust control problem into an optimal control problem, where the uncertainties and disturbances are reflected in the performance index. Hence, the performance index is selected as an energy function and using the proposed constraints in this paper the Lyapunov stability for this class of nonlinear systems is proved and the robust optimal controller is designed. In order to illustrate the high capability of the ROC method in optimal control of complex systems such as Hyper-chaotic system, the time response of state variables in the proposed method and the Global Robust Optimal Sliding Mode Control (GROSMC) method are compared together. The simulation results show that the time response of state variables in the ROC method is more sufficient than the GROSMC method.
